It's quite easy to learn how to speed read, or rather to learn the speed reading techniques which can halve the time it takes you to read pages like this.
Whether you are reading on a computer, a tablet computer, a smartphone, or in a book, the speed drills taught here can show you how to get a lot faster at reading the things you need to get through.
Firstly, you probably need a metronome to help you keep the beat as you read each line, so why not get a simple metronome from Amazon, or otherwise use this free online metronome.
Set it at about fifty beats per minute, that's a little over a second for each tick, and read one line of this text per beat.
Hopefully, you should be able to understand everything I'm saying here, and if you can, then let me tell you a little bit more about how to speed read.
Speed Drills
Speed drills involve setting your metronome at a faster rate, and forcing yourself to look at each line really quickly, faster and faster, and then you slow back down again.
Don't worry about the comprehension you have, just make yourself go at that pace, and slowly, you will begin to lose the sub-vocalization of the words in your head.
This means that you will begin to stop speaking the words as you hear them, and this is how you start to be capable of understanding text at an increased rate of speed.
To speed read well, you must be able to stop yourself from processing the words in the same way that you would if you heard them, and start processing them in the way you would if you had only learned to understand words visually.
