Speed reading

What you have achieved

 

Skimming greatly reduces your word-by-word reading and vocalization. It is also a very fast 

method to determine the suitability of the material to your needs. By now you should be 

comfortable with skimming and looking for key words and sentences. Experiment with 

skimming, and with pointing techniques. Use whatever method suits you, even if it is not 

described in this workbook. Some speed-readers use a question-mark motion across a page. A 

U motion, starting on the top-right of the right page, moving the hand down in a curve toward 

the bottom-left of the right page, then continuing the curve from the bottom-right of the left 

page and ending at the top-left of the left page is also taught in some speed-reading books. It 

is recommended however, to be comfortable with the methods described in this chapter 

before experimenting with other methods.
