Learn To Improve Your Speed Reading

By Ryan Campbell


Reading is fun especially for those who have quest for knowledge. You get to learn more about a certain topic in your area of interest. Speed reading can save you a lot of time and help one improve their understanding. It does not matter what you read whether a newspaper to learn what is happening worldwide or a report to help you in your class project.

How much you understand in a day could determine how good you are at studying. Doing this every day could help improve this skill. Becoming a better reader means you need to get faster at it and at the same time be able to understand what you are studying. This is a skill that most people lose as they grow up and get absorbed into the internet world.

People tend to think going through this daily improves your speed but it does not help in all times. You could be studying this daily but your habits are poor. How your eyes pick each letter determines how well you understand the topic. Scientists have previously argued that your eyes should both focus on the same letter for better understanding.

However a recent research by scientists show that this is not always the case. Most times each eye focuses on a different letter at the same time. Then the brain picks the images to form the word but the rate at which this happens fast for one to recognize. It sounds quite technical but just think about it that is why you can easily read a word at a fast speed.

If you want to know your pace take a book and practice. An average person can read up to about 250 words per minute thus if one does a little more practice the speed could double. The faster you are the more content you cover. If what you are studying is work related you might as well be very good and made the employee of the month.

If you want to be a good employee and get the best benefits learn to read faster especially if your work involves studying and researching. It also helps you save time to relax and be involved in other activities. The faster you are as a reader proves that you have mastered the art of shunning bad habits. It helps you be in another better understanding level of the text.

Despite the fact that it is valuable and useful at times it is wrong to read faster. There are those texts that need one to read through slowly for better understanding. Imagine you are reading an article about how a road is constructed maybe you want to borrow some tips. Rushing through makes you miss all the important details.

To be a good and fast reader try not to focus on each word. This slows your speed down. Relax your face when reading so that you can see a bunch of words. Read them all at once. Going through words in our heads too is a contributing factor to slowing down of words ad we read. Try shunning any bad habit you think you might have and is slowing you down.
