Methods and tips for reading fast

Read books want to read fast, you can learn the following methods.

When reading, we often appear to read and find themselves serialized, or the eyes stayed in one place and did not move, half a day to react, and then continue to read. This reading is certainly slow reading, low efficiency. In this regard, when we read, we can use a pen or a fingertip as a guide, that is, put the fingertip or pen under the text to move quickly, guiding our eyes to move quickly, thus improving reading speed. Try to be as smooth as possible while moving and don't pause too often. This method generally doubles the reading speed.

Additionally, except for books like literature and philosophy, most of the important content in most books is usually only 20% or 30%, so we don't have to read slowly, one word at a time, one sentence at a time. Instead, we need to learn the "point reading method". The specific method is: first spend a few minutes to read the cover, table of contents, foreword and afterword, by reading these contents, have a preliminary understanding of the book; and then read the chapter before and after the paragraph and the headings and so on, to find the important content or you care about the content; and then according to the actual situation and the need to read the previous reading found in the important content of the specific reading.

In addition to guided sight reading and gist reading, a better method is the "elite special fast reading method". Many people read, usually only one or two words at a glance, so a minute usually can only read two or three hundred words, at most not more than 500 words. But if you can read seven or eight, more than ten words at a glance, then a minute will not be able to read one or two thousand, two or three thousand words? "Elite special speed reading memory training" is the training of this reading tool, the specific method is not a sentence or two words can be said clearly, want to learn you can go to understand. I am now using the same reading method.

In addition to these techniques, you should also know that reading more is a key to improving reading efficiency. People who read more are usually more efficient readers; and people who read less are also usually less efficient and competent readers. Because of reading fewer books, not enough knowledge, so it leads to a large amount of knowledge in the book is new to you, each knowledge need to think half a day to be able to understand, understand what it means. Because you can't read and understand what you read, it makes the speed of reading slower and the rate of comprehension worse.

So we need to read more on the basis of fast reading: fast reading leads to more reading, more reading can in turn improve the efficiency and ability to read, forming a virtuous cycle.
