If you've ever seen someone speed reading, you may have thought to yourself, "I can't read that fast, I'm
just a slow reader." Some people seem to be able to fly through pages of text, while others stumble and take
several times as long to read and study the same information. Have you ever stopped to wonder why some people
read faster than others and yet seem to comprehend more?
The Speed Reading Difference
For starters, effective and efficient speed readers are able to read groups of words at once, instead of fixating on each specific
word. Additionally, slower readers vocalize each word, either mentally "saying" the word silently or by physically
mouthing the words. This is largely because we are taught as children to read aloud, and when we eventually are
expected to read silently, our habits cause us to continue to silently vocalize the words as we read. Unfortunately,
no one ever teaches us the proper way to read silently.
Speed reading is defined simply as the ability to read quickly. This sounds like a great way to save time, but
without proper training, comprehension is often sacrificed in exchange for speed. Effective and Efficient Speed Reading means
you will learn to read better and faster with improved comprehension and retention.
