Articles about the eyes and speed reading
Understanding the role of speed in the reading process is essential. Research
has shown a close relation between speed and understanding.
Most adults are able to increase their rate of reading considerably and rather
quickly without lowering comprehension. These same individuals seldom show an increase
in comprehension when they reduce their rate. In other cases, comprehension is actually
better at higher rates of speed. Such results, of course, are heavily dependent
upon the method used to gain the increased rate. Simply reading more rapidly without
actual improvement in basic reading habits usually results in lowered comprehension.
The most important concept behind speed-reading is eye span. You know that fleeting
moment when your eyes blink as you read a line in a book? Your eyes are not blinking
without purpose. They are taking in the information, which that brain of yours will
later process.
The eye blink I am referring to has no more motivation than the textual material
at hand. This is where speed-reading or slow reading is decided. If you read word-by-word
your are definitely one slow reader. If you read by
vocalizing every syllable, you are also
slower. Unlike me, you probably listened to your mom when she said that the best
way to retain information is to read it to yourself aloud. Overcoming this conventional
wisdom alone will bring you a hefty gain in reading speed!
So the big rule is avoid subvocalization which is the clinical term for reading
word-for-word. The wisdom behind avoiding the subvocalization trap lies in the fact
that your eye span works in conjunction with the eye blink to record the information
in the brain. The shorter your eye span, the less information your brain assimilates.
Do you get it?
That's why the chief trick behind becoming a speed-reading freak is widening
your eye span. That means that in one reading sweep at the blink of an eye, you
should not only capture one word but words, phrases and eventually a whole sentence.
So back to the golden rule of speed-reading. Widen that eye span. Support and
start working on the habit immediately by reading in optimum condition, that is
with the proper lighting, right text size, and yes, plenty of leg room. Don't read
word-for-word!
Avoid re-reading, which is technically known in speed reading circles as digressing.
Don't get caught doing this, or better yet, avoid doing it altogether. This takes
up too much of your precious reading time. Believe me, it's not worth it. You think
your mind will remember it better by going back? Clinical studies reveal otherwise.
