Chapter 5 - You should also give "reading between the lines" and "indenting" a shot. Here are a few more fantastic tips for improving your reading: Keeping your attention on the space above each line of text might help you break the habit of subvocalizing. Thus, you can readily grasp them without being concentrated on the words themselves since you can still see the upper half of the letters. The goal is to read the words without getting stuck on any of them. If you aren't staring straight at the text, you can accomplish this more successfully. Using your peripheral vision is part of the indenting approach, another tactic. Try directing your gaze half an inch inside the left margin instead than at the start of each line, and then stop reading half an inch before the right margin. You may still use your field of vision to observe where the line starts and ends. You decrease the number of possible starts and pauses that happen when skimming the lines by not concentrating on every word. Your total speed can rise by more than ten percent if you can reduce the number of stops your eyes make every line from seven or eight to just one! Some people may believe that this is not natural. Draw vertical lines approximately half an inch within both margins to help you get acclimated to starting a line after it really begins on the page. You can then precisely control the beginning and end of your eye movement. Relearning a skill you already possess may be annoying. Just keep going! Sometimes things may become worse before they get better, but the benefits are absolutely worth the discomfort. Chapter 6 - explains how to train yourself to read quickly by using your hand or a pen to guide your gaze. In order to pace our reading and comprehend the words more fully while we were learning to read as kids, we always used a finger or another object. Why should we discontinue practicing that ability once we can read? We shouldn't, and it could even be beneficial. Eyes instinctively track motion. For instance, when a fly enters the room, your eyes pick it up right away. Similar to how pointing and moving your fingers might help you read a document more quickly, Just lay your fingertip to the left or right of a line, then gently move your finger as you read across the line but consistently downward at the page's bottom. You can position your index finger in the middle of a paragraph, directly under the line you're reading, while reading narrow columns like the sort found in newspapers. As you read over a line, move it either straight down or in the shape of a snake to direct your gaze. Cover the content you've previously read to avoid regression after that. Using a business card is one technique to do this; using only your hand is another. With your left hand, make a fist while extending your thumb to the side. Simply place your hand over the text you just read, either vertically or horizontally. Blocking the text you've previously read stops you from rereading, much like the business card technique you learned before. These approaches could be painful or even embarrassing, but they also help you build quick reading habits. When you no longer require them, you may remove them, much like training wheels. 10 Days to Faster Reading The Princeton Language Institute, Abby Marks Beale Book Review The majority of us stop learning to read in elementary school, so our adult reading habits are woefully out of date. In order to stay up with the fast-paced world, you'll need to relearn how to prioritize, preview, and speed up your reading if you want to get the most out of it. A 20-minute pause should be taken. Don't overdo it since, according to research, individuals can only focus on reading for around 20 minutes at a time. Every 20 to 30 minutes take a five-minute break so that your eyes and brain can rest. Additionally, don't read for longer than an hour without stopping.
