2. TOPIC:
INCREASING READING SPEED
Increasing reading speed involves practice and
adopting effective strategies. Here are some tips:
Preview the Material
Eliminate Sub vocalization
Expand Your Peripheral Vision
Use a Pointer or Guide
Practice with Timed Sessions
Chunking Information
Improve Vocabulary
Regular Practice
3. Preview the Material:
Quickly scan headings, subheadings, and any bold or
italicized text to get an overview before diving into the
details.
Eliminate Subvocalization:
Try to minimize the habit of pronouncing each word in
your head. Focus on visualizing concepts instead of
verbalizing them
4. Expand Your Peripheral Vision:
Train your eyes to capture groups of words at a time by
widening your gaze. Avoid fixating on individual words.
Use a Pointer or Guide:
Utilize your finger, a pen, or a pointer to guide your eyes
along the lines. This can help reduce regression (going
back to re-read) and keep a steady pace.
5. Practice with Timed Sessions:
Set a timer and challenge yourself to read a passage
within a specific timeframe. Gradually increase the
difficulty as you become more comfortable.
Chunking Information:
Group words or phrases together in your mind. This
helps in processing information in chunks rather than
individual words.
6. Improve Vocabulary:
A strong vocabulary allows for quicker comprehension.
Expand your word knowledge to enhance reading
speed.
Regular Practice:
Like any skill, reading speed improves with consistent
practice. Set aside time each day to engage in focused
speed reading exercises.
