Why Not Speed Up Your Reading?



1     2


14. To break yourself of the habit of following print with your finger, grip the sides of what you are reading firmly with both hands.

15. Read in a quiet spot, as free from distractions as possible. But don¡¯t daydream; force yourself to concentrate on what you¡¯re reading.

16. If you stumble over unfamiliar words, try to guess the meaning from the context, then check the meaning in a dictionary later.

17. Make your eyes literally leap, over lines of print and try to grasp the meaning of whole phrases at a time.

18. Race an alarm clock. Estimate the number of words in an article or book chapter and set a time limit on how long you should take to read it. Set the alarm for that period of time. See if you can finish before the alarm goes off. Gradually shorten your target time.

19. After reading a section as fast as you can, pause and summarize in your mind the author¡¯s main points. Check yourself by reviewing the section.

20. Don¡¯t reread. Pretend the words disappear as your eyes pass over them. You¡¯ll probably be surprised to find that you didn¡¯t miss anything important.

21. Try glancing only at nouns and verbs in sentences to see how much you can get out of reading this way. Underlining these key words may help you get started, but stop underlining as soon as you catch on to the technique.

22. Draw a line down the center of a newspaper column. Center your vision on the line and try to grasp the meaning of the words on each side as you move down the page.

23. The secret of success is constant practice. The pay-off will be worth the effort.
