7 step guide to achieve exceptional reading speed

  1.  Avoid subvocalization: subvocalization means speaking the words in your head while you are reading them. This reduces reading speed to the speed which you talk. Know that your brain can perceive words x50 faster. Stop speaking the words in your mind.
  2. Use a pacemaker: use your finger or pen, use a constant speed which is slightly faster than your confort. This increases concentration and does not allow jumping backward in the text.
  3. Widen your vision: Train your eyes to focus on word groups, not each word individually. Begin with three words and read group to group
  4. Prioritize text sections: Look for headlines and keywords. Prioritize sequence on its importance, skip those which are not important.
  5. Remove distractions: Read in a quiet environment, concentrate on the text.
  6. Practice regularly: Practice above mentioned methods everyday for 10 minutes three to four times everyday
  7. Avoid scrolling back: Avoid constantly going back or checking what you've already read.
