For people with thousands of pages to read, speed reading seems like a manna (甘露) from heaven. In addition, speed reading helps lighten the load of information you have to absorb since it provides a filter that you can use in screening all bits of information before you approach them.
71 Examining how much information you need will help you identify how you should read a certain document to maximize your learning and comprehension. Thorough reading may no longer be necessary in some cases, such as when you only need an outline of a certain document.
Another skill that can ease the burden of a. reader is the ability to read words in blocks. Make sure you do not spend too long on a certain block. 72 This will also make reading less tiresome and boring.
To master this important skill, you have to practice reading more and more words in a certain block at one time. A suggestion shared by some experts regarding this step is to increase the distance between you and the document you are reading. If you can read more and more words in one block, you can cut down on the time it usually takes you to read a certain text and you will be able to read more in a shorter period.
Readers should also practice reducing the number of times they go back to previous sections or blocks. Using a pointer such as the tip of a pencil or pen can also help to make the flow of your reading smoother and faster. 73 Thus, your speed in reading will largely depend on the speed of the movement of your pointer.
If you still find yourself confused about the topic even after you have finished reading the document, do not re-read right away. Re-reading immediately will just lead to slower speed in reading. 74 Getting your own reading corner will also help.
75 Continue practicing and practicing the techniques aforementioned and soon, you'll achieve the reading speed that will work best for you.
A. In this technique, your eyes will follow the tip of the pointer.
B. This saves time and reduces the effort that you have to make.
C. Taking a short break first is recommended before reading the material again.
D. As a final note, the most. important point is consistent and deliberate practice.
E. Your invaluable time can be saved if you can have your reading speed doubled.
F. The first step to increase your reading speed is to identify the specific information you need.
G. Reducing the time you spend on a specific number of words in a block will make no difference.
