Five top tips for faster reading:
- Read in chunks
Reading in chunks is
reading blocks or groups of words together. Start off by reading words in
groups of two or three. As you get used to it try to make these
groups bigger. Once you master this, you’ll soon start reading faster.
- Don’t look back
Try not to go back to
words in the sentence you might not have fully understood. Also, try not to go
back and re-read whole sentences. Try to keep the flow of your reading going.
If you understand the general meaning of the sentence, keep going. Sometimes it
is not necessary to know 100% of the words in a text to understand the meaning.
Again, if you can do this, your reading speed will soon start to speed up.
- Concentrate
Try to find a suitable time. If you try to read just
after you’ve had an argument with a friend, it will play on your mind and you won’t
be able to concentrate. Problems like this are likely to frustrate you and they
will certainly slow your reading speed down. Find a good time to read, clear
your mind, and you will definitely start to read faster.
- Don’t jump in
Before you start to
read the main text, take a look at the other things on the page. If there is a
title, read it and try to think what the main text will be about. Think about
what kinds of words might appear in the text. If there are pictures, take a
close look at them and do the same. You can do the same with any headings
within the text. This will prepare you better for faster reading.
- Relax when reading
Many students these days have incredibly busy lives. It can therefore be difficult to find time to read.
This often leads to rushing through a reading text and many times not fully
understanding it. My suggestion is that more haste equals less speed when it
comes to reading. Try to make time for yourself. Make yourself a cup of tea and
grab a couple of cookies and enjoy what you are reading. Learning to love to
read will really help your reading speed in the long run.
