Using this tip, every 10 minutes you spend reading, you’ll get 100 words ahead of everyone else. Think about what that will do for you after a longer while of use! Each little bit makes a big difference.

This is a pretty simple trick, so you’ll learn it in no time. So here’s how it works…

It’s a good idea to try to scan the material before you begin to read it. Skimming will prepare your mind for the stuff that’s about to be encountered in the text. Basically, you’re looking to find keywords.

If you can know what keywords will be used in the material, then you’ve already begun the process of comprehension. Understanding even just 4% of the material before you even begin reading is a pretty amazing thing, don’t you think?

Well, there it is! Just use that one simple trick, and you will easily increase your reading ability by approximately 10 WPM.

I’ll see you later with another tip. But for now, though, you should try to practice your scanning.

Speed Reading and Information Overload
By Adam Harley

Information is abundant. Sources are many. Sometimes it’s too much. The people at the top, middle as well as the bottom all suffer from information overload.

What is information overload? The most common way to define it is when there is too much information on any given topic at once.

Go to a search engine on the internet and type in your favorite sport, and you will find tons and tons of information about it, millions of sources that you didn’t even know existed.

But not all of these sources can be trusted or cannot be taken seriously. So finding valuable information can be like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Many resort to simply skimming and scanning through whatever they find, and reading only that which looks most appealing. But if you really want to learn something, if you really want to do some research, then skimming doesn’t cut it.

This is where speed reading comes in. Speed reading can enable you to read through countless books and internet articles in a minimum amount of time, and help you gain a massive advantage over everyone else. (Unless they speed read too!)

With the amount of responsibilities that are loaded on people these days, it’s hard to find enough time to finish all the work that’s to be done, and even if you do finish your work, there probably won’t be any time left to relax and have fun.

This can lead to higher health risks such as heart problems and high blood pressure. Speed reading can help bring the madness down a notch or two. If you learn to speed read, you’ll be able to spend less time on reading, and more time on decision-making and other important work tasks. You’ll be able to do your work in less time, and you’ll have more time to spend with your family or friends.

Reading fast and understanding fast can slow down the world around you, and let you live your life the way you want to.

Learn speed reading right now, and you’ll double your reading speed within the next 30 minutes. Check out this site, and you’ll get a free look at how speed reading works, and how you can learn to read as fast as possible while IMPROVING your comprehension.

Reading speed can be easily influenced – both positively and negatively. This article will show you a quick and easy way to positively influence your reading speed. It’s not only easy to do, it’s extremely powerful if you use it right.

Before you read something, preview it first. Go over the whole thing, and identify some keywords. Read a little bit of the beginning, and then read a little bit of the end. And only then, read the thing for real.

Just do that, and your reading speed will jump by at least 50 words per minute. Guaranteed. It’s really as simple as that.

You don’t have to spend very much time previewing – just a few seconds will be enough. All you have to do is find out generally what the author is going to talk about. In anything that’s reasonably well-written, there will be a clear introduction, and a clear conclusion. These usually summarize the important material from the article.

Exploit the summaries!

The reason this works so well is that it trains your eyes and primes your brain for the information that’s about to be taken in. When you do that, the reading process becomes much easier to handle.

That’s it! Try it out on the next thing you read, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results.

What’s really happening is this: when you read faster, information comes into your head faster. When more information is coming at you, it’s less likely you will become bored. The more interested you are, the more you will absorb. Thus, reading faster makes you comprehend more.

So the question is this: how can you speed read? How does speed reading work?

Speed reading has to do with eliminating sub-vocalisation. Sub-vocalisation is also known as “silent speech”. It can be defined as internal speech, which takes place during reading. Sub-vocalisation allows the reader to “hear” the words as they are being read. Removing this process allows for much faster reading.

Moving away from sub-vocalisation, makes room for a more visual approach to reading. When you read without sub-vocalising, you are no longer held by the 250 words-per-minute barrier set up by sub-vocalisation.

It is more efficient to perceive the words solely as visual information. The goal of speed reading is to control your use of auditory associations while taking in words.

Then you can start reading words not as a series of sounds, but as images. You already know most of the

words you will encounter while reading. It isn’t necessary to hear the words as well as see them; just by looking at the word, you can know what it means.

The concept is very simple, but the method is hard to master. Try reading the Speed Reading Manual, or the Speed Reading Newsletter. Both of those resources are available through this website. Check them out now!
