Tips on increasing reading speed
 

For the longest time I've stayed away from books, because reading takes a long time. I never, until recently, realized that the time it takes has mostly to do with me reading somewhat slowly, as I also have a seeing impediment. Nothing that requires glasses or anything (I've gotten my sight checked), I just get awfully tired when reading.

So, any of you fast readers got any tips on increasing reading spead? Online training, software, books, anything? I realize that I'm missing out on a lot of information and I wanna rectify that. Any tips are appreciated, thanks.

If all else fails try talking books......... can get them in most libraries.

Dude, try this book. I used to read at a moderate pace. My speed and comprehension retention picked up dramatically after reading it and doing the exercises.

or just type in google: speed reading tips
lots of websites with tips...

Yeah, that one I've tried already, found a bunch of stuff. Was looking more for tips from people who have tried certain methods, we all know how accurate most search engine results are. :1orglaugh

Gene, thanks for the tip, I'll try that one. :thumbsup

Gene, looked that book up on Amazon, only 2/5 rating, not very encouraging reviews...

I'm just a sexy girl.

All I know is that it helped me out a lot. It isn't a quick fix. It needs some effort cuz you have to do the reading exercises and strategic word/phrase location exercises. I can only recommend books based on personal experience with them. I can't vouch for others' experiences.

Thanks, I do appreciate the tip. Based on the reviews for it I found this one on Amazon, great reviews, think I'm gonna try it out.

I'd read that book, but it'd take me 4 years :(

skim and process as you're going. Don't get hung up on words you don't quite understand. If you keep reading, the rest of the paragraph will usually explain enough to get the idea. Most slow readers I've worked with get all stuck on the little things: long words, tough words, or awkward punctuation. Just keep running through and everything will fall into place. If it doesn't, THEN go look up the word or re-read a few times to get the flow going correctly in your head. Don't sweat the petty things. :)
