learn to read faster

because i want to be a genius :D :”>

When trying to use all the things I learned about speed reading, I reached my new record – 6.25 words per second. How nice is that:)

So, my current reading speed is 4.5 words per second. I wonder how that is going to change, I’ve started doing some exercises to increase it.

I’m borrowing a book about this today, and looking forward to learning to read more quickly!
After all, in my country (and I’m sure that almost everywhere else:) ) they teach you to read up to a point when you can read aloud, and that’s it! There are so many techniques you can learn to read faster and with understanding the same or more!

you’ll be surprised if you know how long it takes me to read a book. (sigh)

right now i read 10 pages in 15 minuets, adn thats not good enough for me or my crabby teacher. so yeah i want to get better so they stop nagging on me

I’m realizing I already read some things faster than others. And I’m not so sure it would be particularly smart to try to speed up my comprehension process on the things that my brain just wants to spend more time taking in. Maybe I’ll develop the ability to read faster over time, maybe not. But I give up on making a conscious effort.

I did a reading improvement course at University. Very worthwhile.

I have bad habits of zoning about while reading and pondering about what I have read, if whatever I read makes me upset I usually slow down and think harder about what I would do in that situation. If I could just keep a constant pace I may do well enouph to eat a few books a month. But that’s one of my biggest problems.. sometimes I wonder if I have ADD.
