Simple Tips About Speed Reading

By Andrew Nelson


If you have a short time to read a lot, there is a special technique which makes it possible to read several times the number of pages of text without any special effort. Most average people read about 300 to 500 words per minute. Students and people who often read can overcome up to 750 words per minute. Speed reading allows more than a thousand words per minute.

The best way of mastering this technique is to take a good course, with a qualified teacher. All experts agree in this. But, if you would rather try to learn it by yourself, there are some tips and tricks to help you. It is also possible to find different programs online that can also be quite helpful.

You must be aware of a few things. This way you won't be able to learn everything at once. Some things simply require more effort, for example math, poetry or complicated definitions. Sometimes you'll have to re-read some parts. But, you'll know which parts to pay attention to, and the whole thing will take less time. Students will find this technique extremely helpful.

The whole thing is based on the rapid and superficial scanning of lines of text, with an effort to minimize the effort of the eye. In a careful reading your eyes often return to read the same lines again. To prevent this, you can use something to cover these lines at first. Try not to read every single word so carefully, you will catch the essence even without it.

Another useful thing in this process is to pay attention to the subheading first, and then trying to find something about it in the text simply by scanning it shortly. It is quite useful to make simple notes about important things. Using these notes afterwards, you'll remember the most important things you should know about this particular part of the book.

The table of contents is something that can help you. Simply read it first, and choose the most important parts to concentrate on. All other parts can be shortly scanned, and you shouldn't waste your time on them. Spend more time reading important things or making notes about them.

Try to see the whole line at once; your brain will comprehend even if you skip a few words. You shouldn't lose your time highlighting parts, or underlining them. If you need to remember something, making simple, short notes is much more useful.

Quiet and cozy environment is really important, as well as prioritizing. Choose the period of a day when you have the highest level of concentration and energy, to speed up the whole process. Start with the hardest and the most important parts. One second for one line is more than enough, and you'll even become faster.

This really works. It is perfectly possible to finish one hundred pages in no time at all. The best option is to take a good course, although some people can master this technique all by themselves, very quickly. Students find it especially valuable, but this technique can make your life easier on so many different ways. Just give it a chance.
