How can I improve my reading speed? How can I improve my reading speed?

1 Read quickly, silently, not aloud.

Silent reading is reading silently, using only visual scanning of the text to understand the content, omitting the activity of the vocal organs, without considering pauses, stress, tone, rhythm, etc. Silent reading is the foundation for speeding up reading.

2 Speed reading should be read sentence by sentence, line by line, not word by word. Since we usually develop the habit of reading books word by word, the potential of visual perception is far from being tapped. In speed reading, we use the method of reading sentence by sentence and line by line, which is conducive to mobilizing the potential of visual experience.

Sentence by sentence, line by line, is a conceptual reading method, that is, grasping the stem of the sentence. This helps us grasp the main message of the sentence and improve our ability to understand the sentence. If you understand sentences quickly, you will understand paragraphs quickly, and the speed of reading will naturally increase.

3 Be focused, see quickly, and think quickly.

Reading is not only a visual activity, but more importantly, a mental activity. It is a comprehensive activity of vision, comprehension, attention, memory. So, to speed up your reading, in addition to paying attention (what we usually call full attention), you also need to read and think quickly.

This is the key to improving reading speed and reading quality. What to see, what to think? Look at this sentence or this sentence group, who or what these lines are talking about, how it is, what it is or what it does, who or what it says, what it means, ......And so on, analyze, synthesize, grasp the main meaning of the jujube sentence meaning, paragraph meaning, understand quickly, and the speed of reading will naturally improve.

Why do you read the same as you don't? Give it a try

Second, when reading, we should read with a purpose, so that the mental attention is more concentrated, and a quiet reading environment is very important.

3. Remember to summarize what you have read and take reading notes after each reading.

The so-called guided reading method is to use a finger or a pen to guide one's gaze to read.

The specific usage is to place a guide such as a pen or finger under the line of text you are reading when reading, and then move the pen or finger "smoothly" to guide your gaze to read. Using this guided reading method correctly and practicing it can often increase our reading speed by two or three times.

Skimming and skipping refers to selectively reading certain important content while reading, skipping or ignoring certain details or content that is not important to us, in order to grasp the general and main content of the article.

First, spend about ten minutes reading the book's cover, table of contents, preface, etc.; Secondly, spend about half an hour reading the parts of the table of contents that you are interested in, as well as the parts before and after you mark, and the third is about half an hour to read the parts of the catalog that you are interested in, as well as the parts before and after you mark.

Sight reading is a true speed reading method because it is much faster than guided reading, and at the same time does not want to skip skimming and ignore too much content.

Take the "Elite Special Fast Reading Memory Training Software" as an example, its training methods and content mainly include the following aspects: first, training to open our vision (that is, how many words can be at a glance), secondly, training to improve the speed of our focus movement; The third is to train to improve our perception.

One of the reasons for slow reading is poor reading foundation.

That is, because there are fewer books to read and not enough knowledge, a lot of knowledge in the book is new knowledge for you, and every knowledge needs to be thought for a long time to understand and understand what it means.

To improve the speed and comprehension of reading, you must first change the habit of reading. When reading, don't read one word at a time, because it is not conducive to us connecting the meanings of multiple words together to understand the overall meaning. At the same time, it is easy for us to read the back content and forget the front one, which makes the brain distracted.

To learn to read quickly, such as looking at a phrase or group of five or six words at a glance, and looking at a short sentence, sentence, or even a paragraph at a glance), both the speed of reading and the efficiency of reading comprehension will be improved accordingly. The practice of speed reading can be practiced with some tools, such as "Elite Speed Reading Memory Training", which is relatively easy to learn and master.

Second, learn to read selectively and purposefully. It is to choose the chapters and paragraphs that interest you to read according to your own book catalogue and the problems you want to solve, rather than reading them slowly from beginning to end.

Third, we should develop the habit of reading, read more and accumulate more, and improve the amount of knowledge in our minds. People who read books a lot, both at a speed and after reading, have a much higher comprehension rate than people who don't rent a book very much. The main reason for this is that people who read books often have enough background knowledge in their minds and have established enough neuronal connections, which largely determine a person's reading efficiency.

In the process of reading, have you also encountered the following situations:

The speed of reading is very slow, read word by word, and a book has to be read for a long time.

I finally finished reading it, but I couldn't remember much.

Maintaining the habit of reading is important, but the problem is that we have a limited amount of time to read books every day, and if we blindly allocate this time to those unknown information, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of "inefficient reading".

The Italian poet Petrarch said, "Books make some people knowledgeable, but they also make some people who can't eat crazy." ”

"Eating but not eating" is the sequelae of inefficient reading.

Reading as a skill, like singing, dancing, and playing ball, can be improved through scientific practice.

According to the test, the reading speed of ordinary people is about two or three hundred words per minute, and after professional practice, the reading speed can be increased to 1000 to 1500 words per minute, and at the same time, the content can be taken into account.

Tip 1: Get rid of the habit of silent reading.

When many people are reading, they will read silently in their hearts while reading, which is not a bad habit, but it will affect the speed of reading.

Generally speaking, there are two main ways for people to receive information, one is auditory and the other is visual.

Auditory people are sensitive to sound, they are better at listening, and they are good at using "listening" to receive information, so when reading, they prefer to read the words while reading silently.

Visual people are more sensitive to ** and color, and are better at using "looking" to capture picture information, so they can convert the text into signals that the brain can receive.

In terms of the speed of reading, auditory people will see more slowly than visual people.

Why? Auditory people need to turn words into sounds and transmit them to the ears, and then from the ears to the brain, and then into signals that the brain can understand, and the whole process of reception is simplified like this:

Text, sound, brain information.

Visual people, on the other hand, can directly turn words into signals that the brain can understand

Textual brain information.

By omitting the "sound" transmission process in the middle, you can save a lot of time when reading, and the reading speed will naturally increase.

So, if you want to improve your reading speed, you need to turn off this sound channel in your mind and turn the text directly into a signal that your brain can understand.

So, how do you turn off this sound?

You can place your finger on each line and swipe it, and then use your finger to guide the eye movement, this method is called "hand-eye cooperation".

When you focus on your hands, your auditory channels may close.

If you find it difficult to get rid of your voice when doing the silence exercise, it doesn't matter, you can also practice it in combination with the second technique.

1. Train silent reading and form a habit.

Some expert studies have shown that the fastest reading per minute is 200 words, while silent reading can be as fast as 600 words per minute. It can be seen that switching from reading aloud to silent reading is an effective way to improve reading speed.

To develop the habit of silent reading, you can press your throat with two fingers, or place something between your lips to stop pronunciation, and at the same time focus on the content of the reading, and speed up the scanning speed of your eyes, so that the articulatory organs do not have time to make movements. If you practice in this way, you will be able to develop the habit of silent reading.

2. It is forbidden to reread and reduce retrospection.

Reading speed depends largely on the speed of eye movement and the number of times you look back. The more times the eye stops in reading, and the more you look past and then look back at it, the slower it becomes.

When we finish reading, we can prepare a book or a book as a covering, put it on the top of the book to be read, when we finish reading a line, we will pull down the covering, cover the line we have read, so that our eyes will not return to rereading, reduce looking back. As you read, pull the cover down faster to increase your reading speed.

3. Expand the field of view and overall cognition.

The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has prudently announced to the people of the world that the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, China. The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has prudently announced to the people of the world that the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, China. The first reading method has a small visual range, a large number of eye stops, and a lot of time-consuming; The first reading method has a large visual scope, and the eye pause is reduced from 11 to 3 times, and the reading speed has been greatly improved.

In order to expand the field of view and realize the transition from "point reading" to "sentence reading" and "paragraph reading", first, we must learn to understand the meaning of the sentence as a whole; Second, we must be familiar with the collocation habits of words.

4. Accelerate comprehension and learn to browse.

The so-called browsing is to quickly move your gaze and scan every line of words on the reading material when reading, but only pay attention to a few important words in each bridge line. Reading and browsing, in fact, the reader does not read all the words one by one, but omits some minor words in the reading according to his previous experience.

However, in this part of the text, the reader understands and supplements it through his own knowledge and experience. Therefore, in order to improve the speed of reading, the eyes should see quickly, and think quickly from the eyes to the brain. Browsing on the basis of understanding not only enables people to quickly get a general impression of an article or a book, saving a lot of reading time, but also can read a wide range of books, expand their knowledge, and keep abreast of the latest information.

Habitually accumulate and organize your own thesaurus corpus, you can read more in your daily life, which is faster than you spend time reciting words to upgrade your limbs, in the process of reading, Zulu on the one hand to finish the topic, on the other hand, you can also memorize the vocabulary through the context, so that the memorization of words will be more firm.

In the process of reading, we all encounter all kinds of problems.

For me, the most important thing is that the reading speed has not been improved, without reading speed, relatively speaking, reading slowly, reading slowly will read less, reading less reading shallow, that is to say, there must be a lot of reading.

I now understand why it is necessary to train children to read a lot in the middle grade, and at the same time, there must be a certain amount of accumulation, and on the other hand, in the process of massive reading, the reading speed will gradually improve.

Why is reading slow?

Yesterday, Teacher Fan Wei explained some methods to us, these methods are particularly practical for me, and we must train them.

First of all, we need to learn reading as a skill, to train, to practice deliberately.

Probably none of us have calculated our reading speed. I probably know that when I read a storybook, I read an average of seven or eight hundred words per minute, and because it's a storybook, I read it quickly.

When we know how fast we read, when we get a book, we have to split it according to our reading speed. How long will it take to calculate this book? Then set aside the time to finish the book.

When I didn't know how to do this, I probably arranged the progress based on how many pages or chapters there were in the book, and I didn't know how much time I spent reading these contents each day. When I knew that there was such a method, I looked through a book that I had read, and in fact, according to the reading speed, I could read three or four books in the same time.

Since reading slowly is forgetting, it is better to read it quickly. So when reading, do you choose to read it once in 5 hours or read it 5 times in 5 hours?

1.Don't have a voice in your head when you read. When I read, especially when I read books by familiar authors, I can't help but translate these words into the author's voice, as if he was speaking, which is actually a waste of time.

Hand-eye collaboration allows the eyes to move quickly, and the deliberate practice makes the sound in your head smaller and quieter until it disappears.

2.See as much as you can. Try to look long and wide enough. This approach reminds me of the first semester of the fifth grade reading strategies unit. The strategy for this unit is to improve reading speed, and the common methods are:

Concentrate and try not to read back to be more focused. Try to read words in sentences, not word by word. That is, to expand the field of view as much as possible.

3.Find keywords. As adults, when we are looking for key words, we should not find the central sentence in the expository essay like elementary school students, but try to grasp the key verbs or nouns in a sentence as much as possible to capture the center of the sentence as soon as possible.

4.Don't look back after looking at the past, in fact, looking back is the most time-wasting.

With these methods, can our reading speed be improved? Of course not, you need to practice, you need to practice every day, record every day, and your speed will improve unconsciously.
