you read so you can only see one line at a
time.

7. Start slow and then build this speed up until
you can’t remember the gist of the page.
Now slow down a little and get used to this
pace.
Remember, you’re not memorising
everything. You’re trying to get a good
enough overview of the topic that it sinks in.

8. This technique stops you going back over
lines you have already read.
Additionally it keeps a constant reading pace
which forces you to concentrate and focus
on getting through the material.

9. Cutting Words – Now on each line, don’t
read the first and last words.
Your brain doesn’t need every word to
make up a sentence.

10. It’s the same with the letters that make up the words. You don’t need to
know them all or even have the letters in the correct order - you’re
brain will work out the meaning.
Try reading this for example –

11. Once you can miss a word from the
beginning and one from the end move to 2
words, then 3.
You will now be making use of your
peripheral vision to take note of the words
without consciously having to do it.

12. Already Read – Spend time before you start your
speed reading going through the contents.
Make note of how the information is structured –
Chronologically? Question, Answer? Subject by
subject?

13. This you allows your subconscious to read
ahead of you.
80% of memory is just being able to sort and
store information efficiently. By using the
Already Read technique you maximise the
potential for this.
