What’s Holding You Back

Common obstacles like fixation and regression can slow down your reading speed.

Managing these issues with techniques such as chunking and visual markers can enhance reading efficiency.

Reducing the number of fixations and understanding the text better helps avoid unnecessary regressions.

  • Fixation: The natural stopping of eyes on words; managing it can improve speed.
  • Regression: Re-reading previously read text can be minimized with concentration.
  • Visual Markers: Using an index card helps in navigating the text smoothly.
