Advance Reading Skills Every Speed Reader Should Possess!
Every speed reader knows that skill is an important asset in speed reading. He employs different strategies to accomplish his aim of reading. As he reads, he develops questions in his mind that will aid him in comprehension. In his mind, he foresee and narrate what he is about to learn. Before reading, a speed reader makes proper analysis of the material on hand in the form of cause and effect when they stumble on words, statements or figures of speech. All these and many other activities the speed reader does to comprehend his material within a limited time.
The skills most speed reader use in reaching speed in their reading includes but not limited to observation, practice, brainstorming, eye movement, and so on to find new ways to increase their reading speed. Using this process, it has been discovered that some observers tend to comprehend more than those who read the actual material. Therefore, it is in the nature of speed readers to observe clearly to help them in defining their topic before speed reading.
Observation is synonymous to investigation and speed readers also do this before they read. They investigate what they are about reading to see if they are familiar with the topic. In order words speed readers define the ‘rules’ that help them to achieve success in speed reading. Other areas that the speed reader investigates is the writers approach. He considers thesis while reading. Thesis describes the topic in brevity. It is like a headline so to speak, it presents the main ideas of a material and gives the reader an advantage ahead of the reading material. This increases speed in reading.
In reading, speed readers considers conveniency in terms of location, effect of noise, time of the day, conducive environment, and the best position to achieve the maximum effect of reading fast. He also considers his state of mind before reading and the topic, usually they pick topics of interest to make their reading task easier.
Once reading is commenced, after the above factors has been settled, the speed reader bears at the back of his mind the thesis of the material and progresses. Along the line, if he confronts any unfamiliar terms, he goes back and tries to read it again, using contextual meaning, if it does not work, he ignores this part and continues reading and once concluded, he comes back and consults a dictionary to get a clear meaning for a difficult term.
Below is an example of what a speed reader does when he is reading any material of interest.

I need to know about revision
Statement:
The Revision Process
In revising, you have to follow some given steps which is going over the information you have written once more. You reread all the details seeking errors, grammar, punctuation and correcting them accordingly. The best way to clearly do the revision process is by trying to go over the material as a reader and not as a writer, that way your eyes will be opened to all the flaws of the material.
From the above statement, a speed reader is able to first understand what he is about reading before the real reading. The thesis here is "The Revision Process" Thus he is able to fully grasp the implication of the whole statement even before he initiates and concludes his reading. That is the essence of speed reading.
