Learn How to be a Speed Reader
ACCELERATION THROUGH PACING:
Hand movements can cause improvement of reading speed. Now I’ll introduce to you the well-known pacing movement. It uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don’t move your head, keep it still.
BASIC PACING:
Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don’t have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.
The method is easy. You’ll replace all your bad habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. Here’s how to break each of these habits automatically while increasing your reading speed.
You’ll read without sub-vocalizing. You already know the basics: Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don’t have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.
To understand this concept, you must understand that you’ve got this nemesis, an inner voice who is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain. We did experiments in Hawaii, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your rate of speech won’t limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work.
Here’s the method to begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:
Extend your index finger, close all others.
You’ll be reading twice as fast as you ever have. You’ll retain valuable information and increase your comprehension and improve your grades.
