Speed reading techniques
Speed reading tip. Use a crutch, until you can read rapidly without
one. If you try the first five tips and still continue to read easy materials at
a grade-school rate, the following may help you concentrate and speed up:
- Use your finger as a pacing device. You can move the finger rapidly from
left to right under each line. This technique is effective if you intend to
read every line, but it will hold you back if you wish to skip.
- You can use one or more fingers vertically. Place your finger(s) under the
center of the first line of page, then move your finger straight down the page.
(A slight left-right wiggle is permissible.) Keep your finger one or two lines
below your eyes.
- Use an index card as your own portable shutter. Like commercial gadgets,
the card prevents you from regressing to previous lines of print. Also, because
you use your arm and hand to move the card down the page, you are physically
more focused on the reading. Unlike other gadgets, an index card is cheap, is
easy to carry with you, and can double as a bookmark! Do not forget to use soft
focus and shortened margins as you read.

usually decreases the speed of reading, no longer happens. Reading each word
individually becomes unnecessary because skillful fast readers do not
individualize the text when reading at high speeds. |

group of words at one glance. In this way you activate your peripheral vision
facilities. You study how to read without haste, because the program responds to
the speed you have chosen and does not react to your haste. The "Magic Speed
Reading" inclues 15 different computerized trainings. |
