2. SURFACE READING
surface reading is like rock-skipping at a lake. The reader
touches down periodically but never goes below the surface to
seek a deeper and even more complete understanding of the
text. When finished, the reader can tell someone what the
subject of the text is but not what it means.
4. DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF READING YOU ARE
DOING
Are you reading for pleasure or to learn
something.
5. GLANCE AT A PHRASE QUICKLY
• Do not say or think of the words.
Glance at the phrase and think of
what it means. Quickly picture it in
your mind.
6. PICTURE OR IMAGINE EACH PHRASE
• At first this may take some
effort, but if you've learned
to read words without
thinking of each letter, you
can learn to stop thinking
of each word
7. DON’T TRY TO DO FASTER THAN YOU CAN
PICTURE THE IMAGE OF EACH PHRASE
• The goal is to imagine the
concept of each phrase.
Pushing your speed without
getting the meaning, is
meaningless.
8. DO NOT WASTE MUCH TIME WITH THESE
IDEAS
• You can learn to 'speed read'. Unless
you're a savant, reading will be
limited to the speed you can think.
Anything beyond that is skimming.
