How Should You Read Better and Faster?
1. Skim Before You Read
One study found that skimming a text before going on to reading it, improved comprehension in the majority of cases.
2. Improve Your Fluency to Improve Your Speed
If you read more of a certain type of text, you’ll learn those words faster and read better.
3. Know What You Want Before You Read It
Thinking about this before you start reading allows you to prime yourself to pay attention when you see words and sentences that are related.
4. Deeper Processing Tasks to Improve Retention
Taking paraphrased, sparse notes or rewriting factual information you want to remember.
