Rapid Reading Principles and Methods

When human beings read traditionally, they mainly use the function of the left brain; and when they read in the way of "speed reading", they fully mobilize the function of the left and right brains, and each of them exerts the advantages of the left and right brains*** with the image recognition, meaning memory and understanding of textual information, so "speed reading" is also called "whole-brain speed reading". The quick read" is also called "whole brain quick read". Here is what I bring to you fast reading Principles and methods, I hope you like it!

Rapid Reading Principles and Methods

The study of reading that, in the reading process, there are two ways of perception:

One is synthetic perception, that is, once the gaze to perceive only a word or a word, a word or word to read, and then put them together to understand the meaning of it. This is now the vast majority of people are using the perception of intensive reading, reading science called it point reading method.

Point reading method is the reading unit on the word or word reading method, that is, to read word by word, word by word. The focus of reading is not on the sentence, paragraph, chapter and the connection between them, but on the shape, pronunciation and meaning of a word or words. Its advantage is that it is read carefully and analyzed precisely, so the reading comprehension is more solid and firm. Because of this advantage, point reading is the basis for learning to read, and is the foundation on which all fast reading methods must be built.

Point reading due to the reading unit is small, long gaze time, the number of times the eyes move, so the reading speed is very slow. And its shortcomings in addition to the number of gaze, spend a long time, there are two more serious consequences: First, in the vast majority of cases, regardless of the words and words can not indicate the complete meaning, affecting understanding; Second, it is too fragmented and fragmented reception of information, and the frequency of brain activity and rhythm of the gap is too large, not only to affect the memory, but also to make the attention easy to disorganize, it is difficult to maintain a concentrated, stable and enduring good The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

The second is the holistic perception, that is, to look at a phrase, a sentence or a line of text at a time, and to understand and memorize it as a unit in a holistic way.

Line reading is the use of overall perception of a preliminary low-level fast reading method. This method reduces the number of gaze, accelerated comprehension, but also to make the frequency and rhythm of visual reception of information, and the frequency and rhythm of brain thinking activities tend to harmonize, the pace is close to the same, not only to enhance the effect of memory, but also to promote the concentration of attention, stability and durability of the state of the good to be continued.

So, the line reading method compared to the point reading method, not only the reading speed can be doubled dramatically increased, and the effect of comprehension and memorization will be incredibly enhanced.

Line reading, that is, reading a book from the field of vision of the intensive reading of the word as a unit of one by one point, into a few words connected to a line, and ultimately to achieve a line of reading method. In other words, line reading is to read a book to read a sentence or a string of words as the reading unit of reading.

Some people have been on the point of reading, line reading two ways of reading speed and comprehension of the effect of memory, did a comparative test. We might as well give it a try.

Read the following two groups of material, read the table before reading, read and then look at the table, and note the time used, read a group as far as possible to write down silently, and then check against the original text, to see how much the correct rate of silent writing.

A: 乙、七、丁、乃、习、之、千、丈、子、

入、义、么、飞、也、川、久、丸、上、

万、三、了、下、久、及、天、口、不、长

B: 千颗明珠一瓮收，君王到此也低头。

The five mountains embraced the Prime Minister, sucking up the Yellow River.

The result of the test is very obvious, although the two groups of materials are 28 words each, but it takes at least 15 seconds to read group A, while the time to read group B is only about 3 seconds to 5 seconds. The gap will be even wider when the two sets of material are written separately.

The reason for the gap is that: group A materials, although each word is very few strokes, the structure is not complex, but because they are just a meaningless chaotic combination, must be read and remembered one word at a time, so can only be used point reading; and group B materials, although most of the words of the strokes are more, the structure is relatively complex, but because they are meaningful, regular combination, so it is easy to carry out a holistic perception. So it is easy to carry out a holistic perception, comprehension and memorization, so not only can read fast, but also comprehension and memorization of the effect is also very good.

This experiment proved that expanding the scope of visual perception, and developing good habits of holistic perception, understanding and memorization? Mastering the line reading method is quite an effective way to improve reading speed and comprehension and memory levels.

Line reading is the primary form of holistic perception, and its advanced form is face reading, that is, two lines at a glance, three lines, five lines, ten lines, half a page or even a whole page of fast reading.

Facial reading refers to the reading of more than two lines, a whole paragraph or a whole page of text as a unit of annotation each time the eye stops. This reading method of reading, each eye stops when the field of vision is wider, the number of words perceived, a glance can see a sentence, several sentences, a paragraph, several paragraphs and even a whole page of text, so the number of eye stops is less, reading speed is naturally very fast. The ancient saying "one eye ten lines" is actually a description of the face reading method in a more skillful state.

The use of surface reading method, first of all, pay attention to the effective use of visual perception as much as possible, to expand the eyes of the eye reading breadth, that is, to increase the number of eyes in a fixed state of attention to receive the text.

When the use of surface reading method, should also pay attention to the route of eye movement. To read the whole page as a unit, the eye should focus on the center of the page, the afterglow should be spread throughout the text of the page; to read the paragraph as a unit, the eyes should be along the center line of the page from the top to the bottom of the vertical movement. In this way, you can put the center of the page on both sides of the text in the whole range of vision, expanding the breadth of vision reading effectively around, but also to avoid the eyes of the left and right back and forth scanning, shorten the route of the eye movement to ensure that the fast reading is carried out smoothly.

In the use of surface reading method, each time the eye stops to receive a lot of text information, but not indiscriminate inclusion. It is important to know that the face of the reading method with other fast-reading method to obtain useful information for the purpose of understanding the focus should be the essence of the article. Therefore, the surface reading method should be used in conjunction with the discriminatory reading method, active thinking in reading, the use of knowledge of the sentence group, paragraph knowledge, knowledge of the genre, the key words as a clue, association, speculation and inference, agile response, in order to quickly grasp the main content of the article, to achieve the desired reading effect.

Both the line reading method and the surface reading method require scientific and systematic training to master. As for how long the training to be able to skillfully apply to learning and work, due to the specific circumstances of each person (such as physiological conditions, psychological quality, cultural level, knowledge structure, life experience, interests and hobbies and the use of intensive reading reading habits, reading speed, and so on) of the different, as well as in the process of learning the law of the investment of time, energy and attitude of the different, and there is bound to be a certain amount of There are bound to be some differences. However, firm confidence, tenacity, scientific methods and continuous training should always be the dominant factor.

The benefits of fast reading

1, improve reading efficiency

The U.S. Air Force psychologists and tactical education experts experiments have proved that untrained people can see 4,200 English words in a minute, but even ordinary people after training can be recognized in a minute 20,000 English words. Therefore fast reading training has a direct impact on improving reading.

2. Improve memory

We know that changing a child's reading style is much faster than that of an adult, and that practicing fast reading in early childhood is much more effective in shaping the brain and exercising the left and right sides of the brain than in adults, and that fast reading is an "eye-to-brain" method that ultimately develops children's brains, especially the right side of the brain, in a big way. Brain, especially the right brain capacity. Scientists have found that the right brain's ability to memorize is much higher than that of the left brain, so after the training of the fast reading method, children can also have a lifelong benefit of memory.

3, enhance comprehension

Generally speaking, reading comprehension rate of more than 70% can be called effective reading. We know that "reading" and "reading" on the brain is a two-way processing, see the speed to be much higher than the reading of the auditory center, and the traditional people's reading speed is dependent on the speed of hearing. Fast reading is to overcome the impact of reading speed of auditory speed, the people of the image recognition method applied to the text of the reading, so that the visual center of the signals received directly to the understanding of the center, to achieve the "eye-brain direct reflection".

4. Concentration

In the usual reading, we find that as long as the attention is focused enough, the reading speed can reach more than two times. Therefore, in the fast reading training course content is very rich, will require children to maintain a high degree of concentration, and over time the child's concentration on doing things will form a habit.

5, improve visual ability

Visual tracking ability and visual speed training for children to prevent myopia and treatment of pseudomyopia will have a certain degree of help. A scientist in the former Soviet Union in the organization of children to carry out rapid reading training found that a number of children trained in pseudomyopia unexpectedly cured. The reason for this was found to be due to the eye movement training in the fast reading training and the rapid movement of the eyeballs during the reading process.

How to read fast

Fast extensive reading (fast extensive reading)

You usually have to develop the habit of fast extensive reading. The extensive reading here refers to the extensive reading of a large number of books in different fields, requiring fast reading, comprehension and mastery of the main content of the book on it. The first thing you need to determine a clear reading quota, its quota should be combined with their own reality, practical, more or less. For example, read 40 pages a day, a semester to 18 weeks, you can read 4320 pages of books, about 200 pages per book for about 21 professional books, so the amount of reading can not be Oh.

Timed reading

You need to get into the habit of timed reading after class. Timed reading can take 5 to 10 minutes each time, and should not be too long. Because of the timed reading, the energy is highly concentrated, a long time, easy to fatigue, energy dispersion instead of boring. When reading the first to write down the "starting time", reading is complete, write down the "stop reading time", you can calculate the speed of this reading. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

Skimming (skimming)

You have to learn to skim. Some say skipping or browsing, it is a specialized, very practical fast reading skills. By skimming, we mean reading as fast as possible in a speedy manner, as if taking a bird's-eye view from an airplane of the obvious signs on the ground, to quickly get the general idea or the central idea of a text. In other words, skimming requires the reader to be selective, skipping certain details in order to catch the general idea of the text, thus speeding up the reading. According to statistics, the reading speed of well-trained skimmers can be as high as 3,000 to 4,000 words per minute.

Scanning

Scanning is also known as checking, and like skimming, scanning is also a fast reading skill. Skilled readers are good at using scanning to get specific information to improve reading efficiency. Finding reading is a large amount of information from the rapid search for a specific fact or a specific information, such as people, events, time, place, numbers, etc., and other irrelevant parts of the fast reading method is skimmed. Using this method, the reader will be able to skim through as much printed material as possible in the shortest possible time to find the information needed. For example, in the station to find a train or car running time, in the airport to find a flight flight time, in the library to find the catalog of books and magazines, in the literature to find a date, name, number or number, etc., can use this method.

Principles and Methods of Fast Reading II

80% of a person's knowledge is gained through visual reading, followed by auditory, tactile and so on. Reading speed up more than 10 times, learning ability can be improved several times, the same time, will learn others several times the knowledge. In the era of knowledge-based economy, it means learning, exams, work, life dream come true!

First, learning, speed reading memory allows us to do more with less!

Speed reading memory dramatically improve learning efficiency, memory, attention. Confidence and interest is high.

I have excellent grades, a horse in the lead, outstanding, and then create brilliant.

I am an average achiever who goes above and beyond, surpasses others, and tops the charts.

If I am lagging behind in my grades, I will make up for it, catch up, and realize my dreams.

Reading speed and academic performance are mutually reinforcing. U.S. scientists found that the relationship between students' reading speed and academic performance: in the reading speed of students, excellent and good grades accounted for 83%; and in the reading speed of students, excellent and good academic performance is less than 4%. Want to get better grades you, with speed reading memory ability?

Second, the exam, speed reading memory to help us deal with!

Preparation for the examination, time is urgent and limited, the contradiction between work and study is prominent. Ten times the efficiency of speed reading memory learning method, so that we fully review, comprehensive mastery!

Exam, time is the score, time is the results, time is success!

Various types of question papers, the number of questions is to 40% of the candidates can comfortably answer the standard, the prior design of the question is to the syllabus and the curriculum standards of reading speed as a reference. Therefore, in the competition of various vocational examinations and SSC examinations, speed and difficulty have become the key factors determining a candidate's future fate! Completing the paper quickly and with high accuracy, with ample time for checking and thinking, will mean success!

The current examination, the number of words in the test paper of each subject are more and more, which contains the intention of examining the candidate's reading speed and reading efficiency. At the same time, the subject examinations require students to synthesize the use of multi-disciplinary knowledge and ability of the test questions are more and more, which in turn consciously examine the candidates' extracurricular reading, knowledge and problem-solving ability to synthesize.

In addition, as each candidate on their own reading speed and reading efficiency is a number of mind, in the test paper just to get in the hands of the time on the foreboding: "the amount of questions, can not answer", is bound to produce a serious anxiety and even panic about the results of the test. This kind of bad mood on the normal play of candidates due level is also very harmful.

The grim reality should make us realize the importance of reading speed and reading efficiency on the test. If the candidates reading speed can be a little faster; if the candidates can read some extracurricular books after school; if the candidates due to a wider range of reading and wider knowledge, in the examination can be normal or abnormal to play out the level of due, the examination results will be improved logically.

So, mastering fast reading memory methods, can let us in the secondary school, college entrance exams, self-tests, vocational exams, graduate school, exams, and other exams in the review of the memorization, exams successfully passed!

Classification of reading

Comparison from the way of reading. We can generally divide reading into two categories: one is the traditional reading method (commonly known as slow reading), that is, in accordance with the words, words, and a few other words as a unit of reading; the second is the fast reading or "speed reading". It is the text to be read to the group or line, block for the unit for the overall reading of varying sizes, and "group" or "block" contains often may be phrases, half a line, a line, more than one line, or even a whole page, it is a way to allow us to quickly receive information from the written material. It is a method of reading that allows us to receive information quickly from textual material.

In traditional reading, after the written word produces an optical stimulus to the eye, the retina converts this physical process into a biological process of neural activity, which is transmitted to the visual center of the brain, which then processes it and transmits it to the speech center, which then transmits it to the auditory center, and finally from the auditory center to the memory center. This is a process of reading to oneself, even at a high level of silent reading, only the external movements are better controlled. So, when the average person reads (in the traditional way), they are actually "reading" rather than actually "reading".

Rapid reading is a kind of "direct eye-brain" reading method: "It is the optical stimulation of the written word information to the eye produced by the overall image of the text, directly transmitted to the right brain in the form of images to memorize, and then by the brain will be the text of the image to analyze the" reading method. "It is a method of reading. This "eye-brain direct reflection" type of reading method omits the language center and auditory center, which are optional intermediate links, i.e., the text signals are directly reflected into the brain's memory center for comprehension and memorization. This is actually a way of reading that utilizes vision alone. So it is said that the "eye-brain" type of fast reading, is the real "book".
