4 Brilliant Tips to Speed Read Faster than Ever
I read a lot of books. How about you?
I don't know about you, but I would love to be
able to absorb information faster when I'm
reading anything!
For many individuals who are pressed for time
(Including me), speed reading has become a
necessity. However, it's not just the reading
part that is important. Equally essential
is for the reader to fully understand the words
coming out from the book.
Here are four great tips to read and
comprehend faster:
1) Relax.
If you're in the stressed mode, it would be much
more difficult to concentrate; hence, it would just
be a lot harder for the information to sink in.
2) Know what you want.
Focus on the areas that you really need to learn.
Some people read all parts of a book, when all they
need to know is a specific chapter.
Know your priority. If you need to find out about a
certain subject, go to the Table of Contents and search
for the heading that best suits your need. If you need
to learn more, then adjust accordingly. The important
thing is to weed out the stuffs that you don't
currently need.
3) Get rid of the structure words.
Did you know that around 60% of the words we
read are structure words?
Examples are the words "the, or, and."
They are essential in the structure of the sentences;
but when you ignore them, they basically mean the
same thing. They only serve to beautify, yet you can
understand what you are reading even without them.
Try not to focus too much attention on structure words.
4) Practice, practice, practice!
When I started exercising with weights, I can only lift
the lighter ones. As the time goes by, I slowly add
more and more weights as my body tends to adjust and
become more comfortable carrying heavier ones.
The same concept goes for speed reading. Set a goal.
Figure out how fast you can read, then create a plan
to increase your ability.
If you can read 200 words per minute, set a goal to
read 250 words a minute. After accomplishing this feat,
set a goal to read 300 words per minute.
This takes time and practice, but the effort is all
worth it. If this is your first time to set such a
goal, read first those materials you are familiar with.
Carry on with more difficult ones as you progress. This
way, you're not overwhelming yourself with understanding
different new words and at the same time developing your
speed reading skills.
Have fun reading. Make sure it's one of your priorities
to read and educate your mind with more information.

Hello Patric
Your speed-reading program is great, had insight in a view others, I'm convinced people will love it because it's different than the others! Just a tipp for all who are using MS Word or another word processing program. There is a feature under the menu Tools to count the words, so it's very easy to practice with your program and to measure how one improved the reading speed.
Continue in making a difference!
be well
