How Speed Reading Will Work For You

By Dr. Jay Polmar

Just use these hints and you'll increase your reading speed:

You can read lines of text, more easily, by reading groups of words at one time than reading a single word, and your reading speed will increase when you just widen your eye span (peripheral vision).

1. Techniques will teach you have to activate hand-to-eye coordination, then you'll be speed reading quickly and immediately. Increase your reading abilities for business or personal use with just a little practice. You can double, even triple your current rates of reading without hurting comprehension or retention.

Different speed reading techniques for different kinds of reading material:

1. Fiction, especially romance novels. Try speed reading a hot and passionate love scene. You can't! I don't speed read romance novels. I don't know anyone who does.

2. Non-Fiction. Speed reading is perfect in this dimension. Where there is something to learn that is not based on the emotions speed reading is great. And it comes in various forms: newspapers with narrow columns, magazines, with slightly wider columns, books, computer screens, and in the mail and email.

Slow readers struggle. They cant identify the techniques to success and they struggle due to slowing down to identify words that don't understand --- they will see a particular word, slow down, think about its meaning, then restart the reading process. Perhaps they won't sound out all of the words theyve been reading, but they will spend more time on some phrases than others. That's because, they are just skimming across those small sections that are easy to understand.

Creating balance in comprehension and reading speed is what gives us our base reading speed. You will also need to establish a base-line reading speed for what you read the most. There are different techniques for different types of reading, with varying speeds, and comprehension rates.

Study speed reading, and practice doing the exercises, they will improve your reading speed drastically with practice. But, before you begin practicing the speed reading techniques, which you'll learn in the Complete Speed Reading Program, let me suggest that you learn to coordinate your eye-to-pacing finger movement.

In the beginning suggest you reread the same material over and over, until you develop a well-coordinated reading speed. When you feel comfortable with it, your rate of speed will increase almost immediately almost 50%. Then, once you are comfortable practicing at that rate, move on to more advanced techniques that will increase your reading speed further.

Consider this:

1. You will be reading very fast (scan read) pre-reading for important factors 300%.

2. You should use a 50% over normal rate when reading for information overload.

3. Post-read for quick review will be fast reading; just a fast scan. 300-400% faster.

4. For testing, scan before prepare for tests your score speed will be medium fast 200%.

That's how easy it will be. Your mind will be trained to be the perfect learning machine. Just start right now with Complete Speed Reading Course, a beginner course, and intense in-depth program, and audio reinforcement. Its guaranteed to bring you greater triumph.
