SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING READING SPEED Improvement of Reading Rate It is safe to say that almost anyone can double his speed of reading while maintaining equal or even higher comprehension. In other words, anyone can improve the speed with which he gets what he wants from his reading. The average college student reads between 250 and 350 words per minute on fiction and non-technical materials. A "good" reading speed is around 500 to 700 words per minute, but some people can read a thousand words per minute or even faster on these materials. What makes the difference? There are three main factors involved in improving reading speed: (1) the desire to improve, (2) the willingness to try new techniques and (3) the motivation to practice. Learning to read rapidly and well presupposes that you have the necessary vocabulary and comprehension skills. When you have advanced on the reading comprehension materials to a level at which you can understand college-level materials, you will be ready to speed reading practice in earnest. The Role of Speed in the Reading Process Factors that Reduce Reading Rate Since these conditions act also to reduce comprehension increasing the reading rate through eliminating them is likely to result in increased comprehension as well. This is an entirely different matter from simply speeding up the rate of reading without reference to the conditions responsible for the slow rate. In fact, simply speeding the rate especially through forced acceleration, may actually result, and often does, in making the real reading problem more severe. In addition, forced acceleration may even destroy confidence in ability to read. The obvious solution, then is to increase rate as a part of a total improvement of the whole reading process. This is a function of special training programs in reading.

Speed Reading Test Reading is becoming more and more important in the new knowledge economy and remains the most effective human activity for transforming information into knowledge. If top readers read at speeds of above 1000 words per minute (wpm) with near 85% comprehension, they only represent 1% of readers. Average readers are the majority and only reach around 200 wpm with a typical comprehension of 60%. This seems surprising since most readers, actively reading work documents, newspapers, magazines, books or the contents of a computer display are practicing daily for at least one hour. With such an intense training everyone should be close to top performances.

Self-Pacing Methods by Dennis Doyle Speed Reading Self-Pacing Methods Speed reading is not magic nor is it a big expensive mystery. Professional speed reading classes simply teach a handful of easy techniques that help a person focus his or her attention better. The eye is drawn to motion. Speed reading techniques put that motion on the page. Your starting position is important. You should sit up straight, hold the book down with your left hand, and use your right hand to do the pacing. You should already be a good reader before you attempt to speed read. Speed reading will not help you if you have problems in comprehension and vocabulary. In fact, it may hurt you to try to rush through stuff that you can't comprehend. You should have the basics down already first. Before you start speed reading, you should do a survey of the information first to get a general idea of what you will be covering and of the type of writing.

15. Learning Skills Program - TIPS FOR INCREASING READING SPEED Then time yourself reading a few pages at your normal speed. You ll find thatoften your normal reading speed will increase after your skimming practice. http://www.coun.uvic.ca/learn/program/hndouts/rdgspeed.html

TIPS FOR INCREASING READING SPEED As our eyes move across the page they make a series of jerky movements. Whenever they come to rest on a word that is called a fixation. Most people fixate once on each word across a line of print. In order to make our speed increase we must take in more words with each fixation, rather than make our eyes move faster. Try to avoid focusing on every word, but rather look at groups of 2 to 3 words. For instance, this sentence could be grouped in this manner: for instance / this sentence / could be grouped / in this manner Work on vocabulary improvement. Familiarize yourself with new words so you don't get stuck on them when you read them again. If you find yourself moving your lips when reading, force yourself to read faster by following (1.) above so that you can no longer move your lips. Read more! 15 minutes a day of reading an average size novel equals 18 books a year at an average reading speed! Determine your purpose before reading. If you only need main ideas, then allow yourself to skim the material. Don't feel you must read very word. Spend a few minutes a day reading at a faster than comfortable rate (about 2 to 3 times faster than your normal speed). Use your hand or an index card to guide your eyes down the page. Then time yourself reading a few pages at your normal speed. You'll find that often your normal reading speed will increase after your skimming practice.
