The reason i am looking for books like this is because i was trying to read a hp lovecraft book and ran into words i did not understand and needed to look it up on my phone just to know how to say it. So i am trying to find these books to improve these skills, I have a book called "how writing works" (i have not read it yet), but it is suppose to help me understand how to write properly. So i am looking for books like that for reading comprehension or phoniecs i think, media literacy and more writing help books as well. I am just trying to stop being stupid, so any help would be appreciated.

I haven’t read it yet (although I bought a copy when I found it on sale), but I have heard that the book *A Swim in a Pond in the Rain* by George Saunders covers this.
> *A Swim in a Pond in the Rain* is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.
Although this probably won’t help so much in the vocabulary portion of reading comprehension, from the impression I get of the book.
