Believe speed reading is too tough to tackle? Think again! Armed with insights from 3 books, I'm diving into practice for the next 30 days. Join me on this journey! 📚💨 #SpeedReading #PersonalGrowth

TL;DR: Everyone should learn to speed read. 1 - It's approachable. 2 - You can literally double or triple your reading speed in weeks. 3 - Speed reading books also include study and recall habits. 4 - You'll increase comprehension. 5 - It's developing a learning skill.

5 - It's developing a learning skill. We all need to continue to learn and develop throughout life. Speed reading will not only help you do that, but help you do it more effectively in many different areas.

4 - You'll increase comprehension. I know this is counterintuitive, but it's true.

3 - Speed reading books also include study and recall habits. It's more than speed reading. It's evaluating a text, reviewing it several times, and using a recall pattern for retention.

2 - You can literally double or triple your reading speed in weeks. Think what you could do with that newly found speed!

1 - It's approachable. Seriously, it easier than you think.

Everyone should learn to speed reading skills! Here's why:

Speed reading? You mean skimming words in a book? That's not reading. Skimming and speed reading are actually two separate and distinct skills. Each has their own place. Speed reading, however, is reading. You can speed read and comprehend. The mind is amazing!

Have you ever paused to explore your own learning process? Consider this: We invest years of schooling in our children, followed by additional years in higher education. But do we dedicate enough attention to teaching effective learning methods?

Need to remember what you read? Don't read to remember. Read to understand. You'll remember it better than if you read it to remember it.

You make a decision even when you do nothing. Don't read that way. And don't live life that way.

I've met incredibly intelligent individuals whose professions demand extensive reading. Yet, when I inquire about their experience with speed reading, they often respond with a no. Why the reluctance? It strikes me as quite baffling!

Want to cut your learning and study time in half? Then learn two things: 1- Speed reading skills. 2- Study Techniques. Speed reading books typically focus on both. Rapid reading is real and may even help you improve comprehension and retention. It did for me.

Speed reading will increase your comprehension and retention. It's counterintuitive, but speed reading includes not just reading quickly and a lot more than scanning text. If done correctly, it includes a whole variety of effective learning strategies and methods. It works.

Here's a crucial duo of learning principles: Firstly, define a clear purpose for your learning endeavor. It's not just about fulfilling an assignment; set meaningful goals. Secondly, grasp your optimal learning style. Understanding how you learn best is key.

My look into speed reading is really about effective reading. For instance, every speed reading book I've read talks about retaining and recalling what you've read. Therefore, when applied I think speed reading is more effective than regular reading. Truly though.

Want to move from dull to interesting reading? Set a purpose. In other words, use what you read in some way. Apply it. That will take your reading, and your learning, to the next level.

Why teach reading uniformly? While some teachers adapt instruction and teach effective reading methods, reading purposes differ greatly. Individuals need a variety of tools to tackle various texts effectively. Speed reading teaches those. You should learn to speed read.

Do you read with a purpose? Reading without a specified purpose is like failing to plan (and planning to fail). You might set a purpose without too much thought, or you may read without much thought. Which camp do you fall in?

Very rarely will level 5 need to be attained. But for students it often is. Level 5 takes a lot of time to achieve, even with speed reading techniques. But those techniques can certainly reduce the time it takes to get there.
