Strategies speed readers use

Strategies speed readers use

  • Skimming:Ā quickly going through passages to find the main points.
  • Meta guiding uses a pointer, such as your index finger or a pen, to guide your eyes along the lines of text.
  • The vision span method uses the span of human eyesight to read words in batches.
  • Rapid serial visual representation (RSVP): an electronic reading system displays words one at a time.

Effectiveness of Speed Reading

Regardless of which reading method you use, the evidence points towards the fact that speed comes at the sacrifice of understanding.

Depending on what youā€™re reading, this might not necessarily be a bad thing:Ā If youā€™re trying to get through a dry piece to capture a few key points or you areĀ going through a short piece thatā€™s easy to understand, speed reading strategies might make sense.

Make the most of what you read

  1. Choose different reading pieces for different occasions:Ā articles and light reads can be reserved for short periods. Books that require less focus can be listened to in audio format etc.
  2. Incorporate reading into your daily habit:Ā put a book on your bedside table.
  3. Share your reads with others, to help you to better understand and appreciate what you read.
  4. Reflect on your reading: take notes or check out films that are based on novels (to compare interpretations).
