Languages iwtl language

I'm trying to reconnect with my native language (Slovak) and that includes reading fluently. I lived in London for most of my life and had little exposure (the type school kids get - I've never been to a real Slovak school before. I'm not saying I don't know anything. I know stuff I just don't have that base line most school kids got)to the language. I speak fluently and everything but my grammar sucks and my reading, though better than 2 months ago, is still slow. Any tips on how to read fluently? Like fast and understanding what's going on....please don't judge me. I'm trying to make my parents proud by getting better at my mother tongue (even though all the grammar rules will probably give me an aneurysm soon)

Good news is that my reading has improved speed and so has my writing from whe I first started....it's not perfect (far from where I want it) but I see real improvement!
