11 simple ways to begin SPEED READING.

I am learning ow to speed read, here is what I found out about Speed Reading for Beginners:

I found several proficient speed readers, including Jim Kwik, Tim Ferriss, Ron White and Michel Wozniak.

Here are some common strategies from these professionals: some of these are just general advice, others are specific things to start doing right now.
• Each recommended that you measure your current reading speed, before beginning any strategies. Makes sense, At DP Learn Now we also like to record the benchmark before beginning any practice. (show previous videos). Read for a minute, then count words. (do three times)
• Un-learn bad habits
• Point to words as you read them. (little kids got it right!) . visual pacer. Eyes are attracted to motion so increases focus.
• Eye exercises: follow pencil in large figure 8s. builds peripherals, meaning eyes need to move less.
• Bring book to eye level.
• Have music playlist especially for reading: primed for reading. Classical particularly effective. (Makes sense, particularly hard to read while headbanging)
• Learn to see groups of words
• You can understand words faster than you can say them. Move finger faster than you think is possible
• if you don’t remember what you read, read faster
• For 5 minutes at a time, force yourself to read slightly faster than is comfortable; adapt to faster speed so easier to go slightly slower.

Controversial strategies:

• Indent
• Progressively train yourself to only read the middle third of the page: less time to bounce to start of each line NO!!!

I am going to try out these strategies, and Next week I will let you know what I found. Like and subscribe to make sure that you don’t miss it.
