How to Improve Speed Reading Skills
Speed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. .
Look at groups of words, not single words.
. However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks of words at one time, then you can read much faster. Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of words. Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as “A, the, and, etc.”
Scan for keywords.
Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for—a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word—you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find. . The information you are looking for should pop out at you.
.
You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. . Do not count the words, just the pages or paragraphs. Record your figures: for instance, you might write “15min/6.5 pages.”
A. Then, run your eyes rapidly over the text
B. Race the clock
C. Check your comprehension
D. If you read a text one word at a time, then this will slow your reading speed way down
E. Here are some Speed Reading Techniques
F. One of the reasons you read slowly is that you have to pause sometimes to understand what a passage is saying
G. When the timer goes off, check to see how far you have got
