By Christopher McDonald


The benefits of reading fast include the ability to cover more materials within a short time. This raises your knowledge level within a very short time which will turn you into a leader in class or at work. Speed reading in an examination environment saves time especially during revision. You should work to improve how fast you read on regular basis. What techniques can you use?

Hand pointing or pacing is easily interpreted to be a childhood technique. In fact, most teachers advise kids to abandon it as soon as they can. This technique has been proven to improve focus and enable your brain to pay attention to the content of a line or page. The challenge is when you have to read voluminous materials. Your finger and hands will be fatigued.

Test your pace regularly. This helps you to calculate the time taken covering a certain number of words. There are professional tests online while others are administered in physical schools. It my include articulation, pronunciation, accuracy and mastery of language, among other ideas. A different passage should be used for each test.

Read regularly if you want to improve on your speed. This trains the brain to pay attention to details and endeavor to cover more paragraphs. The materials should be lengthy, meaning a book or novel. Such materials demand concentration and a fast pace. By training the brain on the need for a fast pace, it will focus easily and be more alert in order to capture the content of your passage.

Other than focusing on one word at a time, cover a cluster of words. Experts agree that this is the best technique for use in improving your pace. The cluster of words involves three or four words. Clustering means that the eyes are moving fewer times within a page. They also do not need to make numerous stops within the passage. It will therefore take a shorter time to complete a passage.

Improve the environment you use for your reading. The existence of noise, messenger alerts, flashing images, moving playing, music and such other distractions will slow you down. Inclining the material to an angle of 45 degrees also helps because it protects your eyes from straining. Ensure that the place is well lit without being too bright or too dim. Avoid taking your books to the coach or bed since the body will interpret that as a time to relax.

A speed class will provide professional assistance on increasing your pace. Ensure that the class is administered by a professional. There is online software that will dramatically improve your pace. Get a recommendation or read reviews on the best software to use. The classes may be online or physical. You will be tested at the end of your session to establish how well you have understood the concepts.

The time you take to a passage will also determine the pace. The mind and body will be too tired in the evening compared to morning. Ensure that the book is right for your grade and have a purpose for reading. The mind picks the cue and increases the pace.
