The Magic Of Speed Reading!

Speed reading is an art you learn with time. However, people always believe that some people are specially talented at every skill. But the truth of the matter is you can be whatever you want to be, all you need to do is identify an area that you are passionate about, set goals about understanding it, use action plan as your vehicle to master this area or skill then you will become an expert as long as you have enough will and determination to follow through. Speed reading is no exception.

If you want to achieve proficiency in speed reading, you will need enough passion and determination to undertake all speed reading strategies, apply your mind to it. To make it easier for you, each time you come across a material you want to speed read, try to scan through, try reading it. Take note of Titles and sub-titles then move in to the body of the material, start reading but make sure that you concentrate on the thought of the writer instead of the words, this way when you come across difficult words, you can skip it and still understand the content of the material.

We are going to sample a material in the sciences and see how well you will fare in this area. Take a look at the write-up below and try speed reading it:

The Guru That Demystifies The Light Theory
The Famous German Scientist

Born in the 1800s, Albert Einstein was a genius who set out to prove the existing light theories wrong in his high school.

Einstein's action of trying to prove an existing Newtonian Mechanic theory wrong brought him a bad name and hence he was seen as a rebel. The authorities were against this behaviour or new notion from a "nobody". On seeing that the school will not condone him, he quit schooling and went on to successfully prove the theory wrong before the eyes of the world. This gave birth to the Brownian explanation of movement of light molecules. Einstein went further to establish the photon theory of light and continue to teach others about his new discoveries.

As a speed reader the first thing you should take note of is the title. The Title tells you what the material is all about. As you look down the subtitle further clarifies the title and this will start opening your insight of the material. On reaching the first paragraph, you already know that the story is about Albeit Einstein who came from Germany. This will help you read fast as you may be already familiar with the story. As you move on into the second paragraph, try scanning through and grasp main ideas as quickly as possible. Try to see if you understand what you went through.

A typical speed reader will define it this way

Einstein found out the flaws in the existing theories of his time and made effort to correct this with proof instead of just claiming it to be wrong.

The above summary can result if a speed reader just scan through the first sentence and pick out main ideas, then proceed to the second which has all the main details. The first sentence opens our eyes to who the material is making reference to and since it is a familiar topic, the main thing will be to quickly skim through the second sentence to get ideas. Thus you will not need to read every word of the article to fully comprehend it. Along the line, if and when you come across difficult words or unfamiliar words skip it and search familiar words that describes the material, then later come back to decipher the meaning of these words.
