Technique Timer for Speed Reading

 

Time your reading speed. 

 Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you try these exercises. Trying to beat your best speed can provide great motivation. Here's how to time your reading in words per minute (wpm).

•  Count the number of words on a page, or count the number in one line and multiply by the number of lines on the page.
• Set a timer for ten minutes and see how much you can read in that time.
• Multiply the number of pages you read by the number of words per page. Divide by ten to get your words per minute.
• You can use an online "speed reading test," but you will probably read at a different pace on a screen than on a printed page.

 Set yourself goals. 

 Your reading speed should improve if you repeat one or more of these exercises daily. Many people can double their reading speed after several weeks. Set yourself milestones to motivate yourself to keep practicing:

• 200–250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone age 12 or older.
   
• 300 wpm is the reading speed of the average college student.
  
• At 450 wpm, you're reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. Ideally, you can do this with almost total comprehension.
  
• At 600–700 wpm, you're reading as fast as a college student scanning to find a word. Most people can learn to read at this speed with about 75% of their normal comprehension.
   
• At 1,000 wpm and above, you're reaching the level of competitive speed readers. This usually requires extreme techniques that skip over most of the text. Most people can't remember much at this speed.

 Reading Strategies

• Think About What You Want to Know

     Once you know your purpose, you can examine the resource to see whether it's going to help you.
For example, with a book, an easy way of doing this is to look at the introduction and the chapter headings. 
     The introduction should let you know who the book is intended for, and what it covers. Chapter headings will give you an overall view of the structure of the subject. If you think that the resource isn't ideal, don't waste time reading it. 

• Know How Deeply to Study the Material

If you need a moderate level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You can then speed read picking out and understanding key words and concepts.

• Read Actively

  when you're reading a document or book in detail, it helps if you practice "active reading" by highlighting and underlining key information, and taking notes 

   

   

   That's for all about reading strategies of me.

Skimming and Scanning Methode

Skimming and Scanning

I will to tell you about Skimming and Scanning Methode,
I hope you can understand.  

Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading
selection. 
Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.

How to Skimming methode ?

•  Fast Reading
•  Get main idea, not all details
•  Read the title.
•  Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
•  Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
•  Read any headings and sub-headings.
•  Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
•  Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
•  Read the summary or last paragraph.  

 Skimming is another type of fast reading. You might use skimming to book trough a text quicly to get the gist ( General Idea )



How to Scanning Methode ?

• Fast way to find info
• Look for bold,italics,in large font size in the text.
• State the specific information you are looking for.
• Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers. 
• Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for. 
• Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

Is another useful tool for speeding up your reading. Unlike Skimming . When Scanning, you look only for a specific fact or piece of information without reading everything.
