Read. Many people exaggerate about how fast the read. An average person reads 300 words per minute. No one reads faster than 400. Reading each day will quickly bring you up.
You can also practice speed reading , but the cost is a lack of absorption of the material.
Speed reading is not merely “reading faster,” it is about mastering the literature faster, which does not need to involve reading materials word-for-word to comprehend ideas and does not even need to include reading quickly. Reading faster can lead to lower memory retention, however strategically reviewing key information and repetitively broadening the focus to areas of interest can enhance understanding and memory retention more efficiently and effectively than simply reading word-for-word. I manly read nonfiction and tend not to use this strategy for fiction. This book can help: http://a.co/8GDwNxN
Reading more and sticking to a routine, helps you get into a flow.I try not putting down my book midway in a chapter.Helps in the flow of story.
why do you want to become a faster reader its not a race relax take your time books are meant to be enjoyed you cant do that if you rush through them 🙂
Memories to back in the day, Evelyn Wood speed reading.
Reading fast is best *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Helps even in exams. , tbh ??
Anita, just read and enjoy, there is not rush.
For me the trick is to be a slow careful reader. Why rush? You miss the telling metaphor, the intricate imagery, the narrative strategies and the way in which the form informs the content
Isn’t life fast enough as it is, why a simple leisurely read should be fast too?
Now I am not a speedy reader, I have devoured a book and then gone back to savor the pages. I have read a section three times in a book so that I can savor the atmosphere, shock, surprise of what happened.
I found the more I read the more I can read.
Audio??

Read the tops of the letters.
Brain games/training. There’s an app called Elevate that I use and love
The more books you read in time ,the better or faster you become.
I have been reading since I was 5….I am now 52. I even took a speed reading course in college, and it still takes me AT LEAST a week to read a book. I enjoy reading slow and absorbing EVERY SINGLE word into my brain. So, no need to rush, just sit back and ENJOY!!!
“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”
― Woody Allen
fast reading is overrated?…you are fine! just enjoy at your own pace! I am sure you excel at story recall and comprehension! ?
Slow down
Faster is not necessarily better when it comes to reading a good piece of fiction.
Just read – sometimes faster isn’t better
Thanks everyone. I know faster is not always better. Im not trying to increase my reading speed by alot but just by a little bit. I was just curious if there was a trick. That is why I put this post up
They do have speed reading courses. 🙂 I read faster than most people but admit that if they are more complex ideas (I.e. genome sequencing, etc), I can lose some comprehension. I make myself slow down for that.

I took a speed reading class in college
There are no tricks. It is just the old fashioned determination and application.
I imagine the as as a movie. To me, that’s how I read faster.
Why do you need to read fast in the first place? Just enjoy the ? by taking your time you will enjoy the book then
Selective reading? Picking out the words that stand out the most? I dunno. That’s like watching the movie without listening to the dialogue.
