Speed Reading


To push your reading speed, you have to first make sure you can understand what you read. Comprehension must come first.

Comprehension means more than just understanding words and definitions; it means understanding the ideas being communicated.

You also have to be flexible. When you encounter harder or unfamiliar material, you need to automatically slow down and also read shorter word-groups, just as you would switch to a lower gear and cover less distance with each rotation of your bicycle pedal.

The key to a better comprehension is to visualize what you're reading. For me, I like to play a movie in my head, with my imagination, while I'm reading.
