Read Faster - 4 Brilliant Tips To Read Faster
By Christian Whiting
Use these 4 brilliant tips to speed read faster than ever.
Many people, particularly students, would love to be able to
absorb information faster. But before retaining information,
they have to go through the first stage of learning, which is
reading.
For many individuals who are pressed for time, have to read
faster 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
or paper.
Here are some great tips to read faster and and comprehend more.
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. In no time at all you will read faster.
