3. SPEED READING
Speed reading is a collection of reading methods
which attempt to increase rates of reading without
greatly reducing comprehension or retention. Methods
include chunking and eliminating subvocalization. No
absolute distinct "normal" and "speed-reading" types
of reading exist in practice, since all readers use some
of the techniques used in speed reading such as
identifying words without focusing on each letter, not
sounding out all words, not sub-vocalizing some
phrases, or spending less time on some phrases than
others, and skimming small sections.
The many available speed reading training programs
include books, videos, software, and seminars
4. METHODS
1) Basic :
Basic speed-reading begins with choosing
the right environment in which to read.
Assuming a comfortable posture in order to make
reading more enjoyable, and ensuring one has
sufficient oxygen intake are also important.
Having good eyesight and being able to maintain
focus are other factors that can naturally increase
one's reading rate
5. 2) Skimming :
Skimming is a process of speed reading that
involves visually searching the sentences of a page for
clues to meaning. For some people, this comes naturally,
and usually may not be acquired by practice. Skimming
is usually seen more in adults than in children. It is
conducted at a higher rate than normal reading for
comprehension.
Another form of skimming is that commonly
employed by readers on the Web. This involves skipping
over text that is less interesting or less relevant. This
form of reading is not new but has become increasingly
prevalent due to the ease with which alternative
information can be accessed online.
