How to Improve Reading Speed

To speed up reading without affecting the comprehension rate, you must understand several factors that affect reading speed. Generally, the following factors affect reading speed:
I. Reading method: the rejection test shows that the reading method can reach-words per minute. This is because when the voice is not audible but the pronunciation organ is still exercising slightly, the language center of the motion will interfere with the visual center, only the visual center transmits the text materials seen to the brain. This allows you to think calmly, improve reading speed, and deepen reading comprehension. Therefore, you should adopt the method of silent reading instead of reading aloud or silently reading (of course, reading or silent reading in terms of memorization or recitation is superior to silent reading ).
If you find that you have a bad habit of reading aloud or reading aloud, you can include a clean glass ball in your mouth to prevent pronunciation. You can also use a time-limited reading method, eye scanning speeds up the page scanning, focusing on reading content, making the pronunciation organs too late to pronounce. Over time, you can also overcome reading problems.
Ii. Line of sight size: refuse to observe. During reading, the human eye activity does not continuously move down, but jumps down when the eye stops, turn to the following text when the eye is moving. The duration of an eye stop is about 1/3 seconds. Each eye stop can contain up to 5 to 7 words, with at least one word. The number of words recognized during the eye stop is "line of sight ". In a reading process, the eye movement time accounts for 95%, and the eye stop time accounts for only 5%. Therefore, the "line of sight" size directly affects the reading speed.
Expand the horizon and improve the overall cognitive ability through exercises. During the exercise, you can write some phrases or short sentences on cards or other small pieces of paper, scan them in front of you in a short time, and then say the content of the phrase or short sentence; you can also put some phrases or short sentences with the same words in a group, sort them in the order of the number of words, and exercise them in sequence. In addition, you can also set an article Article Circle phrases or short sentences with a pencil in advance, and practice in a circle to expand the line of sight and improve your overall understanding ability.
Iii. Whether to view the video or not, and whether to view the video accurately. In the reading process, people's sight should be scanned from top to bottom. However, due to some difficult words or words, instead, you have to temporarily stop or go back to the sight to view it again. This is "back-to-View ". It is normal that the reading of materials is too difficult, but the reading of some readers is not because the reading of materials is too difficult, but because they do not develop the habit of overall understanding, it is not good to make a complete statement of fluent texts. It is often because you forget the front and have to go back to the front, which greatly reduces the reading speed. To overcome the Back-to-view problem, you can use the following exercises for training: Starting from reading simple and easy-to-understand reading materials, reduce back-to-view through time-limited training, and gradually speed up reading. After achieving certain results, you can gradually improve the difficulty of reading materials. You can still use the time-limited reading method to avoid playback and speed up reading. In addition, you should pay attention to avoiding the serial scanning during reading.
That is to say, the line of sight should be precisely scanned from the end of the last line to the beginning of the next line during reading, rather than serializing. If there is a problem with scanning serial, you can use the following method to overcome it: cover the left side of the article to be read with a wooden ruler. After reading the last line, first predict the text starting with the next line, and then predict whether it is accurate. In this way, after reading a row, you will have psychological preparation, and the scanning will be smooth.
4. Whether the attention is highly concentrated. This refers to the positive orientation and concentration of the visual hub and brain in reading materials. That is to say, in the reading process, we should focus on understanding and understanding the material content. Only in this way can people's vision and thinking be in a positive and active state, to speed up understanding and understanding of reading materials. Pay attention to the following two points for high attention during reading: ① you should have a clear purpose before reading, that is, to understand the problems to be solved or the knowledge to be obtained by reading the article. For example, you can first read the questions after the materials before reading the materials. ② Focus on your own things during the reading process. Do not worry about things, do not worry about things, or consider other things that are irrelevant. To avoid affecting reading speed and understanding rate.
5. correctly process the numbers and time in the reading materials, and the numbers and time that are often encountered during reading, especially when reading the plain text of Science and Technology, numbers, time, and other content appear more frequently, and the number of times increases. In this case, you can mark the numbers and times with a pencil. If you want to use these numbers or times during reading and understanding, you can quickly find them by marking them. Of course, if it is a more important or symbolic number or time, it should be accurately remembered during reading, so as not to affect the reading and understanding of the next question.
6. Whether key statements and main information can be grasped. The texts of reading materials are loaded with certain information, but not all texts are loaded with the same information. A sentence is often composed of many words. Some of them are key words that cannot be expressed clearly without meaning, while others are not. The text section is usually the same: some words are the key. Experienced readers do not mean the average effort on each pair of words and segments during reading, but only grasp the key words and sentences, other content is included in sequence. Only in this way can reading be relaxed and at a certain speed; otherwise, the average attention is allocated to every word or sentence during reading, not only can important information be captured, it also causes visual and mental fatigue, which affects reading speed.
The distribution of important information in the text is generally regular: in the narrative and descriptive style, the important information of a single sentence is generally the subject, the predicate and the object; in the scientific style and political style, the important information of a sentence is more likely to be the adverbial, attribute, and complement. In a compound sentence, most important information of a partial positive sentence is a positive sentence, while in a conditional compound sentence, the clause that indicates the unique condition is important information. In the text segment, the central sentence of the text segment, the topic sentence of the article, and the text segment containing the topic sentence are important information. We have learned about the distribution of important information in reading materials, so that effective information can be captured to improve reading speed.
We can improve our ability to capture important information through the following methods. Select at least 30 long sentences with complex structures, read them quickly, and mark the important information of the statement. Until no less than 27 sentences are correctly labeled, otherwise, 30 complicated long sentences are trained until the labeling accuracy period is above 90%. Next, I will look for three different articles in different styles. I will use the time-limited reading method to read and mark important sentences and paragraphs.
The above six points play a vital role in improving the reading speed without affecting the comprehension rate, in the future, you will be more comfortable in the course of study and training, and your reading speed and reading ability will be greatly improved.
