I used to be a slow reader a few months ago. I’ve practiced not having to move my eyes as much to scan the page while still reading all of the words. Now that it’s been a few months of reading almost all the time instead of watching TV I’m a much faster reader. I still don’t read quite as fast as some people because I really like to soak up the story and I don’t skip stuff though.
I see so many postings about how many books people are reading in this or that challenge…..I read for my own enjoyment…..reading is popcorn for the brain for me……I will start a book and if it is good, I will read it start to finish in as little time as it takes me to do so……it is just too good to put down…..and who wants to vacuum or dust anyway
skip the boring part

Scan with a finger like in grade school
Sometimes I use my bookmark as a guide
Just take time to enjoy the story. No prizes for speed-reading for the sake of it.
Thanks for the ? Chrissy and Roxanna.
Don’t.
Don’t make reading a chore or a contest, reading is to inspire, enjoy, breathe and imagine.
Never rush it. Never skate over it. You won’t enjoy it
Enjoy what you are reading; speed is not a relevant variable.

Skim. Also pass over character descriptions you’ve read hundreds of times
@Tracy ROTLLMAO!
Audiobooks. I listen while cleaning, driving, getting ready to go somewhere. All those things that used to interrupt my reading time ?
I stopped watching tv during the day and I read a lot faster now.
My t.v. is unplugged and resting on the floor in my closet. Waaay more reading being done.
Find books/genres that you’re actually interested in. I read 10x faster when i am super into the book.
Simply get rid of distactions….God bless you
Just read and read
Yes. Relax. You read fast enough for you.
I just got faster over time. Depends what book too, if it’s something I really enjoy I read faster
you dont need to learn how to read fast … read at your own way. Dont and never compete with others. Enjoy your readings and your books
No
