Ways to read quickly. Three ways to read quickly

1. Browsing method. Skimming refers to a method of reading books that do not generally require detailed understanding, but only a rough grasp of the general content of the book. It allows for as much information as possible in a limited amount of time, helps to broaden one's horizons, and is an important method commonly used in reading a wide range of books.

The first is the title of the article, including the title of the article and the title of the book, the title is the eye of the article, and often summarizes the main thesis, main topic or main content of the whole text. By studying the topic, it is possible to get a general idea of the article or book.

The second is the table of contents, preface, synopsis, index, etc., which will help readers understand the general framework and basic ideas of the article or book.

The third is the main text, and the key to browsing this part is mainly the central sentence at the beginning, end and the beginning of each paragraph in the middle. After reading these key parts, you will have a general impression of the article or book, and if there are incomplete parts in your memory, or if there are points worthy of further study, you can make necessary key re-readings.

2. Scanning method. Scanning refers to a fast reading method that scans the content of an article at a glance and ten lines at a glance to obtain information in a large capacity. Instead of reading word by word like traditional reading methods, the scanning method expands the field of view of eye stops as much as possible, using a few lines of text, a paragraph of text, or even an entire page of text as the unit of gaze for each eye stop, so as to obtain an overall impression and overall understanding of the article or book in a quick scan.

This method can be scanned from several lines to page by page, and the page-by-page scanning method is also called the surface reading method. By getting rid of the semantic entanglement of individual words, this method not only improves the reading speed, but also does not affect comprehension as some people fear, and in many cases even grasps the essence of the text better than reading it word by word. The speed of reading is very fast, but to master this method, you must often train specifically, such as often doing some vision expansion training, and pay attention to overcoming the habit of reading word by word when reading, and consciously expand the field of vision with each eye stop.

Specialized vision expansion training, such as the Schulte numeric chart, is also a very effective method.

3. Skip reading. Skipping is a quick reading method that skips some irrelevant parts and goes straight to the key content of the reading. Skipping is different from scanning, which is a page-by-page scanning, while skipping is a selective leap forward, stopping at the most valuable content and skipping over other minor contents, even entire pages.

There are many specific ways to skip reading: you can grasp the key places such as headings, subheadings, and bold characters to skip reading, which are often the main content and central theme of the text; You can read according to the prompts of the key words, and most of the places with key words are most closely related to the content or questions that the reader is concerned about; You can focus on the beginning and end of the passage, and skip the first or last sentence of the paragraph, which are often the main points or arguments of the argumentative style.

1. Concentration: Concentrate on the books you are reading, rather than half-heartedly, and concentrate your attention on the books you read, which can improve the speed of reading.

2. Make a plan to read: Make a weekly reading plan, achieve it in turn, persevere, and read more books than when there is no plan.

3. Broaden the boundaries of knowledge: read books in different fields to prevent yourself from getting tired and affecting efficiency in a specific knowledge.

6. Don't worry about every word: Reading should not seek to understand, only to understand finely, and not to focus on the explanation of word by word.

7. Thinking while reading: Reading is not only about reading, but also about integrating the knowledge in the book, promoting thinking and writing through reading.

1. Skip reading method.

Skipping reading refers to jumping from one "word group" (word group is composed of multiple words) to another "word group" to read, not from beginning to end to read the whole picture, but to read the content you want to read in a focused and selective way, characterized by: there are trade-offs, jumping forward.

2. Silent visual reading.

Silent reading is the most fundamental and important way to read Chinese quickly. The so-called silent sight reading is actually a kind of reading activity of "direct reflection of the eyes and brain" (using the two major organs of the eyes and brain, eliminating the pronunciation of the mouth and the monitoring of the ears).

3. Follow the rules and regulations.

It is to follow the rules of the Chinese language, quickly summarize the main idea of the text or book, or it can be said to quickly extract useful information according to the "Yihe" characteristics of the Chinese language.

4. Scan and read method.

For reading for the purpose of retrieving, consulting or capturing information and understanding the situation, the scanning reading method can be used. Most of us use the scanning reading method to read materials, read newspapers, read manuals, etc.

5. Review the reading method.

Examinative reading is a search-based reading activity, also known as "seeking" or "hunting". It is for the purpose of searching for a specific item or several specific items. Some are for the purpose of searching for relevant reading materials and selecting the best required reading materials from them; Some are for solving difficult problems in learning and research.

6. Mind the Divine Law.

Mind the mind, the emphasis is on the mind. As a mode of cognition, it refers to the mental process in which the subject understands the object without going through rigorous and meticulous logical analysis, but only relies on the interconnection and role of the existing knowledge and experience with the meaning contained in the topic, so as to directly obtain the overall cognitive understanding of the topic.

7. Fluctuating speed reading method.

Fluctuating speed reading is very different from traditional speed reading in that it relies on the power of right-brain development. The old reading process is "seeing-reading-understanding", while the fluctuating speed reading process is "seeing-understanding", forming a new reflex process, and after training to a certain extent, "seeing" is transformed into "perception".

It is to put your finger or a thin pen under the text to be read, and move the pen or finger smoothly and quickly to guide the line of sight for fast reading while ensuring that you can see and understand clearly. This method is very simple, we often use it when we are young, but we don't use it when we grow up.

2. The second is skimming, or skipping.

It is to selectively read some important content and guess it. When reading, it is common to look at the preface and table of contents to understand the theme and structure of the book, and then read the headings of each chapter and the preceding and subsequent paragraphs of each chapter.

Quickly skim through the preface, table of contents, chapter headings, and preceding and subsequent paragraphs to pick out what interests you, finds it useful, or that you find worth reading. Finally, focus on the content you have picked out.

3. The third method is sight reading, which is a fast reading method in the true sense.

The habit we have developed since childhood, when we read a book, it is usually a slow book of words and slow reading, not only slow reading, only two or three hundred words can be read in a minute, but also not conducive to understanding (the slow reading of a single word is not conducive to understanding in essence, because when we understand a sentence, we combine the meanings of multiple words of this sentence together, and finally complete the understanding.

Most of us, without special training, can read four or five words at a glance, but we are not used to reading them that way. If you don't believe it, just find a sentence: focus on a certain text and test how many words you can read at the same time without moving your eyes.

Therefore, as long as we change our habit of reading words through practice, we can directly increase our reading speed by two or three times. And if you can do special training, then you can improve even more. For example, professional training such as "Elite Speed Reading and Memory Training Software", through practice, can easily achieve reading more than ten words at a glance and reading one or two thousand words a minute.
