Speed reading for dummies
The basic guidelines for speed reading. To begin with, DOUBLE your standards. Start reading twice as fast, and force yourself to really pay attention to what you are reading.
- Prepare yourself by flipping through the books pages, reading the index and asking yourself questions you want answered.
- Don’t pronounce any word out loud in your mind. This is where most people loose their speed.
- Never jump back in the text, your objective is to broaden the comprehension and not loose your focus.
- Use a visual guide, like your finger under the text. Focus ONLY on 3-4 words on each row. Preferably 2-3 if you are getting really good.
- Don’t strain your eyes. Keep them really relaxed, soft but stay focused at the same time.
- Always fixate on groups of words. The more the better as you speed through the text.
- Hold the book, screen as far away as you can while maintaining your speed.
