How fast do you read? Speed reading is becoming a vital skill for business people. You may have hundreds of emails and documents to read in a single day.
Although you can take a speed reading course to help you to get through more material more quickly, you can do a lot to improve your skill at speed reading with some practice.
Here are some speed reading techniques to help you to read faster:
* When you’re reading on the computer screen, take in as much as possible on the screen at a glance. Read the headline and sub-headlines to estimate whether it’s worth reading the Web page with more attention;
* When you’re reading a paper publication, use the same technique - move your eyes as little as possible, and keep reading forward, don’t look back on the page;
* If you subvocalize - that is, read silently aloud, forming the words in your mind - try to break this habit by reading faster. Force yourself to read at a higher speed. Put the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth to stop yourself subvocalizing.
Speed reading is a skill that you can develop: just push yourself to read a little faster than you do right now. It’s uncomfortable, but within a few days, you will find that you’ve established a new comfort zone. Within a month, you’ll be saving a hour or more a day, just by pushing yourself to read more quickly.
