Have you ever wondered how some people read fast? How can books finish that you take weeks to read? Well, this is the guide for you! It's a simple matter of patience …
Steps
Step 1. The first thing to do is to read the books you can understand
One way to find out is, the ten-finger rule: when you read the first chapter of the book, raise one finger for each word you don't understand, until you finish the chapter. If you've gotten to the point where you can't hold the book with your hands, then the book isn't for you.
Step 2. Start reading the book (or books) that's right for you
Step 3. Read at least 5 times a week; little by little the reading will get faster
Step 4. After a month, you may find that you are reading rather quickly
Step 5. Sometimes you reflect a little on a word that is not clear to you
Try to understand from the context what this can mean.
Step 6. Then read as much as possible every day, but only to understand the text
Step 7. Don't dwell on every word, try to get the meaning of the whole sentence
Step 8. Never leaf through a book, because you wouldn't understand the concept very much
If you skim too much, among other things, you will remain in doubt as to what happened, and you will find yourself having to reread it from the beginning.
Step 9. Pause after the point so you can better understand the meaning
Advice
- Try not to read too quickly at first. You risk not understanding the story! Instead try to read a little faster every day …
- Place your bookmark above the line you are reading, so you don't risk re-reading the previous one.
- Set a timer and set a goal of how many pages you want to read within a certain period. This will motivate you to dedicate yourself to your reading.
- Grab a snack! He helps you! The important thing is that you eat healthy, in case snacking while reading becomes a habit.
- Take your time while you are learning.
Warnings
- You never have to flip through books to read them.
- Make sure you don't read too much, but not too little either. You should find the right balance and read until you feel it is time to stop.
- After reading a couple of chapters or pages, think or write what the main thought of the text is. This will help you in the long run to see if you are reading too fast.
- Don't read late at night, as it doesn't help improve your reading.
- At first, do not choose a book that is too difficult, but find one that is easy to read. Make sure it's not too easy either, otherwise it won't motivate you to improve.
