    Speed reading allows one to read more quickly by taking in phrases and sentences at once rather than single words. It relies on the ability of our eyes to see more than one word or sentence at a time and predicting what will come next. Techniques for speed reading include skimming first to understand context, using a finger or pen to guide vision across lines of text at once, reading in phrases instead of single words, focusing on first and last sentences of paragraphs, and listening to classical music while reading silently without vocalizing words. The goal is understanding at a faster pace rather than details, requiring more concentration than regular reading.

    SPEED READING IS BASED ON
    THE FOLLOWING PREMISES:
    People don’t read word-by-word, You see more than one word at a
    unless you encounter words that you single glance and compile all the
    don’t understand words you see into one meaning

    You see more than the sentence you


    are reading. Believe it or not, when
    you read a sentence, you also SEE
    You predict what’s to come next
    the sentences before and after that,
    allowing faster information
    processing
    Skim and scan the article/book first so that
    you know what to expect: read the table of HOW YOU

    Read in phrases, not words.
    Do.Not.Read.Like.This.Sentence

    Focus on the first and the last


    sentence, and skim through the middle

    Listen to classical music


    Read silently. Do not sound out every word or phrases you read. That will slow you
    down

    The goal of speed-reading is to understand something very quickly. Speed-reading is


    not about getting into the details of a particular topic.

    Speed-reading requires concentration, more than reading at regular pace. This is


    because you are trying to understand many things and connect many ideas all at the
    same time.
