What are some ways to improve reading speed?

First, Gavin speed reading method. Visual psychology tells us that when reading, the eyes don't move continuously along each word, but they can only perceive words when they often "stop", and most of the reading time belongs to eye stop. Every time the eyes stop, the visual span varies from 4 to 8 words. Reading is mainly done by "walking forward" with eyes stopped. But sometimes, because of the confusion of words, the eyes will stop and make a "negative action" to re-perceive and understand. In this way, it is bound to slow down the reading speed. In order to reduce the number of reviews, prepare a blank paper about the size of a page before reading and put it at the top of the book. After reading a line of text, pull down a line of white paper, so that eyes can't read back the covered text. This can reduce the "negative movement" and increase the visual breadth of eye stop.

Second, the time-limited and speed-limited reading method. People often have the experience that when a famous book is borrowed, the deadline is approaching. In order to keep the treasure in their hands, they will read it at an extraordinary reading speed or even at one go. The potential of this perceptual word is explored because after receiving the signal of "time-tight" through the receptor, it stimulates the visual nerve of the brain, forces you to concentrate, and accelerates the visual process of the perceptual word reaching the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex. In response, the eyeball stops moving faster. According to this psychological phenomenon, determine a certain amount of materials before reading and limit how much time to finish reading. After long-term training, this method of assembling books will make your speed reading skills mature, natural, fast and accurate.

Third, a brief introduction to the speed reading method. Literally, it means simply asking questions and being good at grasping the essence. A strong sense of purpose is the premise of improving reading speed. At the beginning of open-book reading, we should list the corresponding "hard-to-find cards" according to the types and properties of books, and select them purposefully and emphatically to improve reading speed. Especially when reading ordinary books, this speed reading method can make readers achieve the effect of saving time and effort.

Fourth, the knowledge exchange speed reading method. That is to say, under the premise that the total amount of knowledge remains unchanged, the whole is decomposed into parts, and several people read the parts synchronously together to find the branches of knowledge separately. Then through the way of knowledge exchange, every reader can acquire the whole knowledge completely. This speed reading method requires a study group of more than two people. Before reading, according to the reader's reading ability, read the books that need to be read and make cards. Communicate with each other after reading, so that every reader can grasp the whole picture of the book he needs to read as soon as possible, and get twice the result with half the effort.
