Skimming and Scanning
Skimming involves quickly glancing over the text to get the main idea, while scanning involves looking for specific information. Practice these techniques to improve reading speed without sacrificing comprehension.
Chunking and Pacing
Chunking involves grouping words together to read them as a single unit, while pacing involves controlling the speed at which you read. By mastering these techniques, you can read faster and maintain comprehension.
Eliminating Subvocalization
Subvocalization is the habit of silently pronouncing words as you read, which can slow down reading speed. Learn to eliminate this habit to increase reading speed without sacrificing understanding.
Expanding Peripheral Vision
Expanding your peripheral vision allows you to take in more words at once, reducing the number of eye movements needed to read a line of text. This can significantly improve reading speed while maintaining comprehension.
