About Speed Reading

Speed reading is reading something quickly while still gaining the full benefit of the information. Speed reading is not magic, it's not a mystical skill, or something that's difficult to master. A good speed reading course focuses on training your eyes to move faster and more efficiently across the page, and giving you practice so you can break though some of the barriers that have been slowing you down. A properly trained speed reader does not skim the words, and has comprehension that's as good or better than before they started speed reading.

Factors limiting your reading speed

Undeveloped Eye Muscles- Far and away the most limiting factor for speed reading is your eye movements. People with untrained eye muscles tend to move around the page in unsteady motions, and they stare at words too long. In a study conducted by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine showed that reducing these faulty eye movements can dramatically improve someone's reading speed. Almost half of the participants in their study were able to read over 1600 words a minute with 75% comprehension!

Limited Perception Span- Poor readers tend to focus on one word at a time, thinking that this will help them comprehend the material, but when does just one word carry across the whole point or sentiment of something. It's the linking of words into phrases, sentences and paragraphs that makes literature. You rarely think in single word phrases...why read in single word phrases? You need to be able take-in chunks of information in order to increase your speed and comprehension.

Sub vocalization- Reading the words to yourself in your head. Experts go back and forth on this topic. Some people say it's possible to increase your reading speed by eliminating the habit of vocalization, and some say that it's impossible to eliminate this habit.

Lack of practice- A lot of people just plain don't read any more than they have to. Some of us have to read to survive, but fewer and fewer people read just because they want to. It's an unfortunate side-effect of living in our culture. It's a vicious circle. People don't like to read because they haven't practiced enough to have confidence in your skills, and they don't have those skills because they haven't practiced enough to develop them.
