The first step to learning how to reboot or reset an iPad involves identifying the sleep/power button. When holding the iPad in portrait mode (longer in vertical direction), the sleep/power button is on the top of the device.

Next, you need to hold this button down for approximately 3 seconds. After holding the button for a few seconds, the iPad's screen will dim and you will see a red slider button that says "Slide to power off" next to it.

3
To reboot the iPad, slide the red button (it will have a white arrow on it) from left to right. After you have slid the button over, the iPad will begin the shut down process.

Be patient as this might take a few seconds for the iPad to properly shut down. Do not attempt to do anything else with it during this time.

If you wish to restart your iPad after resetting it, wait 10 seconds with the device off prior to turning it on. This process should eliminate whatever sluggish performance or frozen screen you were experiencing.

just another lurker....

If Wytey's suggestion does not work, you may need to do a reset. This is a little more thurow than the restart, and Apple recomends using it when the iPad is frozen and can not be shut down with just the power button.

Hold down botht the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears. The iPad should reboot. This takes a bit longer than the usual restart.
