is your bookshelf full of books that you've never read because you don't have the time I'm going to show you how to speed read read all those books on your bookshelf faster than you ever thought possible check this out the average person reached 200 to 250 words per minute there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to double triple or even quadruple that with these very simple steps the first key to read and faster is number one when you get the book read the table of contents read the review read the chapter summaries these are often the most important things that the author wants you to get from their text so by reading these your brain will be aware and looking for them as you read next don't sub vocalize in other words whenever you read don't say the words yourself don't read to yourself even if you're saying them very softly to yourself the act of saying them is going to slow your reading speed down do not subvocal eyes the word some people were even chew gum to keep themselves from saying the words as they read because there's no other way that they can fight that studies also show that if you listen to music especially classical music when you read it's going to improve your reading speed I don't know why this is maybe because classical music relaxes your brain but whatever the reason is listening to music while you read it has been shown to speed up your reading speed so get some Mozart or Beethoven and read faster this next step of forcing your eye to move across the page by using your finger or a pen is the most important part of speed reading whenever you see a sentence and the sentence says the boy ran to the store most people will read that sentence this way the the boy the boy ran the boy ran to the boy ran to thee the boy ran to the store in other words it's called visual regression what's your eye is doing it's good as it's going back and it's reading all the words that you've read before and it's doing it so fast that you don't even realize that you're doing it and that is the biggest thing that slows you down when reading it's the visual regression your eye bouncing all over the page so instead whenever you read take your finger or take a pen or a pencil or a marker or highlighter and read with that and force your finger or force that pen across the page that forcing your the pen or your finger across the page and then force your eye to follow your finger that alone should double your reading speed because your eyes not bouncing all around the next key to speed reading is learning to see groups of words for example if you see the three words Statue of Liberty you've seen it so many times and you know it goes together your eye is trained to see that phrase as a group Statue of Liberty you're not reading Statue of Liberty as individual words if you can learn to do that and learn to see in groups of words as you read it is going to speed up your reading speed the next step to speed reading is to read the first sentence of each paragraph and read the last sentence of each paragraph but kind of zoom through the middle and here's why the first sentence of each paragraph often tells you what it's going to be about and then the last sentence of each paragraph sums it up and if you read those two and then just kind of zoom through the middle you will probably get the gist of that paragraph and the final step to speed reading is go faster than you think as possible when you're using your finger or that marker and you're pushing your eye across the page and forcing your eye to follow your finger go faster than you think as possible you will be amazed at how much you can remember and retain and the speeds that you can go at but the important thing is is to push yourself and go faster than you think is possible and you will be reading faster than you ever thought before one of the biggest things that in speed reading is you need to know how fast you're currently reading so you can gauge your progress click the link right here and I'll show you how to calculate your reading speed or you can click the link down below in the description now go on guys go ahead and click that link it's absolutely free you need to find out how fast you're currently reading I'll see on the next page okay hey guys I hope that you enjoy that and learn something we got tons more videos on speed reading the memory training how to think faster go ahead and subscribe right here so you'll be the first to get those videos and check out our other videos as well
