Read Faster and Comprehend More
When we learned to read so many years ago, we learned to repeat the
words in our heads as we scanned them with our eyes, but we are not reaching our
full potential because our brains can think faster then our eyes can scan. On
average, our brains can scan 450 to 550 wpm (words per minute) while our eyes
move about half the speed and scan between 225 to 275
wpm.
The
problem is our brains are far too active and because our eye's can't keep up,
our brains start to wander. Fortunately this is a problem we can correct with
practice or "exercises". The issue, quite simply put, is our eyes move to
slow. So we need to exercise them to get them up to speed. What speed you
ask? The speed of our brain of course.
The following exercise should be done once or twice a day for two
weeks. After that a refresher every month or so will certainly help. The whole
process should take less than 10 minutes as you attempt to increase your scores
with each attempt. Also, choose a paragraph you haven't read before and are not
familiar with for more accurate results, but use the same paragraph for each
step. Finally, you will need something to time one minute with, as each step
should be one minute long.
1. Start at the beginning of the paragraph and read normally for 1
minute.
Count the # of lines X 10 = ________
2. Start at the beginning of the paragraph and use your finger to help guide your
eyes across the page and try to read as fast as you can for 1 minute and comprehend what you
are reading. HINT: Take
notice of the important words and ignore "and", "or", "of",
"the".
Count the # of lines X 10 = ________
3. Start at the beginning of the paragraph and read twice as fast using your finger
and don't worry about the comprehension for 1
minute.
Count the # of lines X 10 = ________
4. Start at the beginning of the paragraph and read three times as fast using your
finger and again, don't worry about the comprehension for 1
minute.
Count the # of lines X 10 = ________
5. Start at the beginning of the paragraph and read as fast as you can for 1 minute
and consider what you are reading and comprehend
it.
Count the # of lines X 10 = ________
What you should see is an increase in your score during
the exercise, as well as an increase from exercise to exercise. Doing this
for 2 weeks will help train your eyes to keep up with your brain, thus
allowing you to save time and read faster!
Once you feel confident, you can try using more advanced
speed reading techniques such as using a straight edge and reading multiple
lines at a time. Best of luck to you and here are some additional resources you
