Speed Reading Tip: Skim Everything After Reading

Here’s our weekly speed reading tip that will help you effortlessly improve your reading by about 10 words per minute (WPM).

That means every minute you spend reading, you’ll read 10 more words than you normally would. Just consider how much time that will save you over a longer period of time… Every single little improvement to your reading ability will help out a lot.

This is hands-down one of the easiest speed reading techniques you could ever use, and it only takes a second to teach. So here we go…

You should always skim through your material just after reading it. Skimming will seal in your mind what you just encountered in the text. In other words, you’re trying to find the keywords for a second time.

If you find out what keywords were most important to the author, then you’re going the extra mile in the process of comprehension. Comprehending even just 2% more of the material after reading it gets you in a pretty good position!

There you go. Just use that one easy-to-use technique, and you’ll automatically raise your reading speed by 10 or moreWPM.

I’ll see you next time for the next trick. Right now, though, try to practice scanning after reading.
