- Slide 3: For many individuals who are pressed for time, speed reading has become a necessity. However, it's not just the reading part that is important.
- Slide 4: Equally essential is for the reader to fully understand and commit to memory the words coming out from the book or paper.
- Slide 5: Here are some great tips to read and comprehend faster.
- Slide 6: 1) Relax.
- Slide 7: If you're in stress mode, it would be much more difficult to concentrate; hence, it would just be a lot harder for the information to sink in.
- Slide 8: 2) Know what you want.
- Slide 9: Focus on the areas that you really need to learn. Some people read all parts of a book, when all they need to know is a specific chapter.
- Slide 10: Know your priority. If you need to find out about a certain subject, go to the Table of Contents and search for the heading that best suits your need.
- Slide 11: If you need to learn more, then adjust accordingly. The important thing is to weed out the stuffs that you don't currently need.
- Slide 12: 3) Get rid of the structure words.
- Slide 13: Did you know that around 60% of the words we read are structure words? Examples are the words \"the, or, and.\"
- Slide 14: They are essential in the structure of the sentences; but when you ignore them, they basically mean the same thing. They only serve to beautify, yet you can understand what you are reading even without them.
- Slide 15: Try not to focus too much attention on structure words.
- Slide 16: 4) Practice, practice, practice.
- Slide 17: When I started exercising with weights, I can only lift the lighter ones. As the time goes by, I slowly add more and more weights as my body tends to adjust and become more comfortable carrying heavier ones.
- Slide 18: The same concept goes for speed reading. Set a goal. Figure out how fast you can read, then create a plan to increase your ability.
- Slide 19: If you can read 200 words per minute, set a goal to read 250 words a minute. After accomplishing this feat, set a goal to read 300 words per minute.
- Slide 20: This takes time and practice, but the effort is all worth it. If this is your first time to set such a goal, read first those materials you are familiar with.
- Slide 21: Carry on with more difficult ones as you progress. This way, you're not overwhelming yourself with understanding different new words and at the same time developing your speed reading skills.
