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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Those that don't get a lot of reading done, don't have that special place.
