Skim or Scan the text first

Skimming or scanning is a technique which involves just going through the text and becoming familiar with the text.

Doing this won't slow you down when you are confused or surprised but the text. Works best on non-fiction and novels.

Stop subvocalizing

If a voice in your head is pronouncing this right now, you are subvocalizing!

If you stop subvocalizing whatever you read, you will dramatically increase your reading speed.

While practicing you may loose comprehension but you will get over it once practiced enough

Read phrases, not words

Reading every single word can slow you down.

Try to read phrases or chunks of words and as you practice, your brain will automatically start making sense even if you don't read every single word. This will also decrease subvocalizing .

Be sure to utilize your peripheral vision.

Quit re-reading

There are times when text seems confusing and you have to re-read. Quitting this habit is hard as our brain is used to these habits like...

  • Subvocalization
  • Reading every single word
  • Not using our peripheral vision

But when we stop these habits, our brain starts building connections between language and you understand the text subconsciously thus you won't need to re-read.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
