How to quickly improve reading speed and efficiency

The most important thing in reading is to improve my reading speed, and the faster you read, the stronger your ability to grasp the context of an article as a whole. Below I will list a few ways to improve your reading speed based on my own experience.

1 Memorize more words. The size of the vocabulary is the cornerstone of reading, and it is difficult to imagine how you can complete a reading task without a vocabulary, let alone speed. If we have accumulated enough vocabulary and can't touch a few new words when reading an article, it is conceivable that the increase in speed is inevitable, because the less time you spend on a unit word, the better you can grasp the whole sentence or even the paragraph.

2 High concentration. When reading an article, you should put aside other selfish distractions and be distracted, that is, you should integrate your thoughts into the article you are reading. Improving one's attention is not something that is spoken, but practiced, and you must be strict with yourself when you usually do reading exercises on your own.

When reading an article, you should read it in one breath, don't break it, and don't develop the habit of reading it silently.

3. Think in English. When reading English articles, some students have to secretly translate what they see into Chinese before they can understand it, which shows that their reading ability has not yet made a qualitative leap. There is only one way to avoid this way of thinking, and that is to improve your English proficiency.

4 Try to connect sentences or lines at a glance. When reading an article, be careful not to read word by word, or read sentence by sentence, to connect two or three sentences, in one go, read them, the key to the formation of this ability, is to broaden their reading horizon, the formation of this ability requires a lot of hard work, send you a word: diligence and not afraid of difficulties is the key.

5 Do a lot of reading. This is the last and most important point. The improvement of my reading speed is fundamentally a subtle process, that is, through reading a large number of English articles and books, my reading speed and even reading ability have been qualitatively improved.

It can be said that the process of improving my reading speed was imperceptible. For example, I once kept reading 8-10 English essays or essays a day for half a year, so that if I persevered, my reading speed increased.

In short, there is no shortcut to improving reading speed, it depends on how strong everyone's perseverance and diligence are. Within half a year, through your own persistent efforts, you can make a qualitative improvement in your reading speed.

The skills of reading are: reading the newspaper and reading the questions, reading the article and reading the criticism, that is to say, to be good at grasping the essentials, generally speaking, the beginning and the end are the key points, grasp the key points, it is easy to do, you try it, I think it is very effective.

1. First of all, you should know how to use the "speed reading method" when reading.

Normally, it takes several days for people to finish reading a book, and according to the law of forgetting (which will be discussed later), after reading a book, it basically means that you have forgotten everything, so it is recommended to use fast reading to shorten the time of reading a book as much as possible, and reduce the probability of forgetting the front after reading. Of course, in addition to reading fast, the purpose of speed reading is to quickly establish a knowledge map of the book through fast reading, quickly find the key points in the book, and the content that is important to yourself, so as to read intensively and improve the efficiency of reading.

I read now, most of them are also using the fast reading method, the simpler books are two or three thousand words a minute, the more difficult books are more than a thousand words a minute, in general, the efficiency has been improved many times, usually it takes many days of spare time to read or Wu Zi a book, now one or two days of free time is enough to read a book.

On the one hand, the mastery of speed reading requires long-term reading accumulation, such as the accumulation of reading skills and knowledge (the content you are familiar with can be read faster); Any kind of ability is not something that can be acquired casually, and it takes time and effort to learn.

2. Strengthen your understanding and memory of the content of the book in the way of "correct answers".

This involves a reading method, that is: before reading, according to the book table of contents and reading purpose and other information, first ask a few questions, and then use some of my existing knowledge to ask the questions; After reading the book, the questions asked before reading are repeated according to the content of the book. Finally, compare the answers before reading with the answers after reading to see how many of them are the same as what the author said, and you need to pay attention to these "don't know, don't think, omit" and so on.

This method should be used in conjunction with speed reading. Because speed reading allows you to read the content quickly, preventing reading for too long and forgetting a lot; At the same time, speed reading is also very helpful for you to start from the whole, quickly grasp the key points, and quickly answer questions.

This way of answering can not only stimulate you to think and recall what you already know, but also allow you to recognize what is new, so that you can focus on it and deepen your memory.

These speed-reading techniques can solve the contradiction between reading more books and having less time. As long as you insist on reading and practicing more, and use these methods comprehensively, you will definitely be able to read more books in less time and master and apply more knowledge. Next, I have sorted out how to improve the efficiency of fast reading related content, I hope you like the article!

Fourth, be confident.

Many scientific studies have proved that human potential is great, but most people do not effectively develop this potential, among which human self-confidence is a very important aspect. Whatever you do, whenever and wherever you do, with this self-confidence, you have a belief that you will win, and it will enable you to quickly get rid of the shadow of failure.

Fifth, learn to be attentive.

The process of work should be the process of thinking with the brain, whether it is to see with the eyes, read with the mouth, or to copy by hand, it is all used as a means to assist the use of the brain, and the key to the real late sale is to think with the brain.

Everyone may have experienced that if one day, they are full of energy and emotional, then everything they encounter at work will feel very relaxed and work quickly, in fact, this is when our work efficiency is high. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a good mood for yourself.

1. Specific adjustments and improvements are made to the factors that affect reading speed.

For word-by-word reading habits: learn to read in "groups of words" when reading, such as looking at a word or idiom at a glance, looking at a short sentence at a glance, being cautious or looking at a group of ideas. A group of ideas refers to the components of a sentence that are divided according to their meaning and structure, and each component is called a group of ideas.

2. Write and read.

It is to combine reading and writing in the process of reading, and immediately express the knowledge and theories obtained in reading in the form of articles.

3. Write the book three times.

This is a method of reading advocated by famous scholars such as Mao Dun and Su Buqing. The first is to read roughly, which is a "bird's-eye" style, and has an impression of the whole article first; The second time is "intensive reading", which can be disassembled like a machine gunner learning to load and unload a firearm, carefully inspected, and slowly savored; The third time is read multiple times.

4. One glance and ten elements.

One eye and ten lines are a useful way to read books in today's information. If the content is not very important, you can see ten lines at a glance, but you can't use this method for classic works and important professional books. Ten lines at a glance is actually a process of browsing and screening information, and when valuable opinion materials are found, Da Xiaozhou, then roll to read carefully or make excerpts.

5. Pagoda reading.

This is a method of reading created by political commentator Zou Taofen. When he was studying, he came across one of them, "especially for what he liked, so he made a number on the title and read it a second time; If you like it, watch it a third time; Favorite,I often watch it when I have a leisure.。 "The books that have been read in this way form a pagoda, with the largest foundation and smaller the higher you go.

It is an effective way to read books.

Speed reading of masked text. Visual psychology tells us that when reading, it is not the continuous movement of the eyeball along each word, but the "eye pause" is often "eye pause" to perceive the words, and most of the time of reading belongs to eye stopping.

Each eye stop, the visual breadth ranges from 4 to 8 words.

Reading is done mainly by stopping the eyes as "positive movements". However, sometimes due to the incomprehension of the words, the eyes will make a "negative movement" to re-perceive and comprehend.

In this way, it is bound to slow down the speed of reading. To reduce the number of glances, prepare a blank piece of paper about the size of a page and place it at the top of the book before reading. After reading a line of text, pull down a line of missing vertical white paper, so that the eyes cannot read back the covered text.

This reduces "negative movement" and increases the visual wideness of eye arrest.
