If you’re interested in pursuing a speed reading program, you’re in good company. Because of the over-abundance of information that we all have to deal with on a daily basis, speed reading is looking increasingly attractive. In fact, if you can more than double your reading speed without losing comprehension, it could benefit you greatly. It’s no wonder that more and more students and professionals are looking for an effective speed reading program.
If you sit back and analyze how you read this article your style of reading will be evident to you. Generally people tend to read by moving from one word to another, in the same manner as the child does. Adults very often read by moving from one block of words to another in a continuous way. Occasionally we might go back on a line of words, when they are not clear to us. These disruptions to the flow of the reading are known as ’skip backs’.
The most common problem that hinders speed-reading is sub-vocalization. As your eyes move from one word to another, you will find movement in your tongue or the throat region. That is because you are reading the words silently within yourself. Such sub-vocalizations lead to a mismatch between the reading speed and thinking speed.
Taking a free reading speed test will help you to decide if buying a book or enrolling in a speed reading course will be helpful to you.
