Seeking Advice to Improve My Reading Comprehension Skills (As an adult)

Hi everyone,
I'm writing this post in hope of finding some guidance and advice. Lately, I've become aware of a struggle I have been facing with reading comprehension. My background did not allow for a strong educational foundation growing up, which I believe has affected my ability to properly understand and interpret written material.
When I read, it feels like I'm not absorbing the information the way others might. It's almost as if I'm reading the words, but the meaning isn't sinking in. I don't feel that the issue is a lack of vocabulary or understanding of the language, but rather an inability to grasp and remember the meaning and context of what I'm reading.
Does anyone else experience this? How do you manage it?
I'm not looking for a quick fix, but rather a way to improve my reading comprehension over time. I understand that it's a skill, and like any skill, it takes time and practice to improve. I would be incredibly grateful for any advice, techniques, strategies, or resources that have helped you or someone you know to overcome similar struggles.
I'm particularly interested in hearing about:
Techniques for improving overall comprehension while reading.
Strategies to remember what I've read.
Ways to stay focused while reading, as I often find my mind wandering.
Resources (books, online courses, etc.) that have been beneficial in improving reading comprehension.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post and for any advice you may be able to provide. I'm eager to improve and grow, so your help is very much appreciated.
Best Wishes.
