1
Pick up a book. If you are nowhere near any books, how are you supposed to read? So, just find something to read. That can be anything, including newspapers, magazines, novels and etcetera. The important thing is that the book you choose must be at your level or similar. Don’t choose the book too high for your level because it will just waste your time.
2
Practice your reading habit. Now that you have found what you like to read, you can set your time by 15 minutes a day in order to read. During this time, you’re not supposed to care about anything except your reading. After 15 minutes, you can close your reading material and do something else. Practice this every day, make it your habit. After you have gotten used to this habit, you can increase the time you need to read in a day to 20 or 30 minutes.
3
Don’t give up. If you find that you cannot complete the task in the first place, chin up! Remember, winners never quit! You just have to try again and again until you achieve it.
4
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. No kidding, if you find yourself stressful while reading the book, don’t continue reading under pressure like that. Reading is for pleasure, so don’t push yourself too hard that you can quit reading forever, or even if you can read, the outcome won’t be so good either.

Most people understand things visually. So watch the news or the discovery channel or any other education channel you can find. Then pick up the daily newspaper and compare.

I often get bored when reading, and a good way to make sure the info sinks in is to re-read a page whenever you feel your mind wandering.

If you mix your reading material, (light reading books, magazines etc), something that captures your interest, you get more practice in understanding usage etc. If you can get to grips with the way the language flows, it may make it easier to follow the research papers.
Quite often boredom comes from either not understanding all of the writing or from the material being badly composed. It is always going to be more difficult if it is not your first language.
It sounds as though you have made a great start so I hope that that helps and wish you well in your studies.

Sweetie, the best way to stay focused is to read aloud or pace when you get bored or sleepie. It worked wonders for me when in college.
Have fun!

Well for something to become a habit you have to do it 11, 13, or 21 times consecutivaly. sorry i can't remember the number. =]
But every night before you go to bed read an article, the more you do it, the closer it is to becoming a habit.
i hope i helped =]
