If you want to read fast then you have to see well what you are reading. It is extremely difficult to speed read if you do not have good eyesight. As we usually read texts from near distances then you need good near vision for being a fast reader. Being short-sighted is actually not a problem as when you are reading at 30 or 35 centimeters then it does not matter if you can see well at longer distances, for example 2 meters or 200 meters. Unfortunately near vision tends to get worse, when people get older. Many of us start developing near vision problems in forties or fifties.

That is the way most of us do and actually it is an inefficient way to read books. It will result in relatively poor reading speed and low comprehension.

With nearly any material you come across about speed reading, you will find some discussion about the habit of subvocalization. This habit can be defined as the process of seeing the words in print, then saying the words in your mind, hearing the words in your mind, and then it finally leads to your understanding. Nearly all who write or teach about the habit recognize it as limiting your success to speed reading and will instruct you to stop. Unfortunately, they do not teach you how to stop.

As you begin to research and select an approach to developing your speed reading skills, you will inevitably find continuous references to the fact that untrained readers need to expand the number of words that the eyes take in with each eye stop. These stops are called fixations. In theory, the more words your eyes take in per fixation, the faster your reading becomes. Programs that focus on primarily training to increase the number of words per fixation are misguided in understanding the nature of comprehension.

Speed reading requires training the brain, not just the eyes. Getting the eyes unstuck from looking, and sometimes staring, at individual words is essential, but that is merely one aspect of learning a set of complex behaviors and skills. Training the eyes is the mechanical part of learning the skills. That's easy part. The more difficult aspect is training the brain/mind to comprehend. All speed reading programs will teach you how to move your eyes more efficiently through print. However, many of these actually do this rather improperly.

When you are starting to learn speed reading one of the common mistakes the learner makes is trying to read faster by speeding up what they already do. This approach may bring some gain, but they will be short lived. Here's how to overcome this mistake. The learner gives up simply because this approach is exhausting. It can not be maintained over extended periods. Think of a day when you woke up late and had to rush to get out of the house. If you have to do that all the time, you burn yourself out.

Nothing is worse for an avid reader and a love of books than having a child who hates to read. Reading to a child early in life will help them foster a love of reading and prepare them to read themselves, but sometimes not even that can be enough to foster a love of the written word. Reading parents know that aversion to reading will haunt their child for the rest of his life, making school harder making the rest of his or her life harder.

A favorite pastime of mine is to ask people what it means to “speed read?” Invariably the more people I ask, the more different answers I get. Usually their answers have something to do with reading faster than they currently do. Rarely does someone include in the definition mentioning comprehension, or understanding printed material along with the speed. Unfortunately if you do not understand material while reading it, then it is not reading! In fact, one of the most often questions I get conce s the possibility of comprehending at fast speeds, especially speeds over 600 words per minute.r

A recent visitor to my site inquiring about speed reading asked, "How can I move away from actually saying the words, and learn how to identify the symbols?" The question demonstrates a knowledge of one of the difficult habits to overcome in learning to speed read - sub-vocalization. Sub-vocalization is seeing the words, then saying the words in your mind, then hearing the words, and finally understanding them. It is a four step process. Reading is defined as getting meaning from printed materials - seeing them, and creating understanding. Theoretically, reading should be only two steps.

Learning to speed read can be a daunting challenge for those who want to master the skills in the very beginning. One of the biggest limiting factors of traditional reading is that as adults we read with a see-say-hear-know method known as subvocalization. It limits the speed you read to the speed of your voice. But when starting out to learn speed reading, too much attention is given to this habit, and not on learning how to replace it.

There are 130 million light receivers at the back of the eye, in an area no larger than a thumbnail. Each light receiver decodes hundreds of light bundles of energy per second. Some cells respond to specific colours, others to overall light intensity.

Mentally, quickly fill in the blank of the following statement with a word or words that best describes your reading ability: I am a __________ reader. Your response will most likely fall into one of two major categories: negative or positive. Some negative terms I typically hear from people in my workshops include "slow", "lazy", "overwhelmed" or "frustrated" while the more positive ones include "good", "avid", or "voracious". Whatever your attitude, it makes sense that those with a more negative attitude typically read less and find reading to be more boring and a chore.

Believe it or not, the act of reading involves an eye rhythm. Faster readers have a flowing rhythm while slower readers read choppy and disjointed. Flowing rhythm readers read more efficiently and effectively - and their eyes tire less - when they read either on paper OR on-screen. You can learn to create this eye rhythm on your own by using a regular tick-tock sound of a clock (old wind-ups are especially useful for this purpose) or by using a metronome. (A metronome is a rhythm-keeping device used by musicians.).
