When it comes to speed reading you're going to find that many people actually have no idea what this actually is and what is involved in learning how to do it. The first thing you should understand about speed-reading is the fact that it is simply a language skill just like many other language skills you come across. You should also understand that you do not have to be a genius with a high IQ in order to learn these skills and learn how to read faster. In this article we're going to be taking a deeper look at this skill and explain some of the things that are involved in it.
One of the first things you should understand about speed-reading is that it is not just about how fast you can read but is also about comprehension of what you read. You must understand that even if you can read a page in 10 seconds, unless you understand what you just read it was like you did not read it at all. So one of the most important things about reading fast is actually being able to comprehend what you are reading to begin with.
Just like any other skill that people can pick up you're going to find that this is something that is going to take practice in order to master. Something I should point out about this is once you actually get a good grasp of speed-reading you may actually have the ability to just glance at a sentence and comprehend the entire thing. You're also going to find that there are many different types of drills in order to prepare you for speed-reading, and you can find these drills in books or on the internet.
One of the main things you're going to find out about speed-reading is that it is very important not to move your lips when you are reading as this slows down your process. The reason for this is because when you're using your lips, imitating that your reading out loud, this actually ends up slowing down the reading process. In order to be able to read fast you're going to find that you need to read in your mind, simply because your mind can work much faster than your mouth.
As we mentioned before, learning this skill is going to end up taking a lot of practice and you may find that it could take you quite a long time to master this skill. Some people may have the ability to get through a page in 30 seconds while others will still end up taking 2 minutes or so, it all depends on their skill level. One thing will be true no matter who you are and that is the more practice you put into it the faster you will be able to read and comprehend what you have already read.
