Speed \u200b\u200breading - as a way to improve your development. Best techniques for fast reading

Try reading without speaking to yourself. Now read a page of text without being distracted or re-reading the sentences. Turn the book upside down and read the paragraph. Does it work? These and other simple exercises will help you master your speed reading skills.

People who want to become professionals in their field have to work through a huge array of information. In addition, there is so much in the world, but time is sorely lacking. There is a way out - to learn to read quickly. And this is possible: John Kennedy, Maxim Gorky and others read quickly, up to 2 thousand words per minute. For example, Napoleon read a rather voluminous book every morning before breakfast, managing to mark important thoughts on its margins.

And the former American president, who reads at an incredible speed, developed his own, which is being successfully used by those who want to learn it now.

It can be argued that reading quickly decreases reading comprehension and comprehension. But practice shows that the opposite is true: with normal reading, about half of the information is assimilated, while with speed reading 70-80%.

Why does this happen? Because fast reading requires more concentration than normal reading, during which we read not so carefully. We have parallel thoughts: we think about current affairs, for example, that it is time to turn off the refrigerator, about the upcoming vacation, or thoughts return to past events. Not surprisingly, reading progresses slowly, and new information is poorly remembered.

You can master the methods of speed reading at special trainings: 5 lessons of 3.5-4 hours are enough. Their advantage lies not only in the fact that the classes are conducted by specialists, but also in the fact that, firstly, the person who paid for the training is unlikely to want to voluntarily skip classes. Secondly, teachers form pairs of students, thanks to which classes become more effective. Thus, the one who dares to miss the lesson will let the partner down - the obligation to him will serve as an additional incentive not to shy away from the lesson.

You can do it yourself. For this you just need a great desire, faith in the result and daily training. And if many have a desire, then it will be more difficult with faith. Let us remember how children learn to ride a bicycle: whoever thinks that he will fall really falls; those who are sure that they will go right away, somehow miraculously keep their balance and go. We believe - we will succeed!

As for training, we do special exercises daily for 30-40 minutes for 21 days. Psychologists believe that it takes so long to get rid of an old habit and instill a new one.

For exercises, you need to choose a convenient time and place so that nothing distracts from reading. It is useless to do this, for example, in the subway, where it is impossible to concentrate.

What is slowing down reading?

1. Pronunciation of the text while reading "to oneself", or subvocalization

This habit is formed in us when we learn to read and pronounce each word aloud in syllables. We learned to read, but the habit remained. Some not only internally pronounce the text, but also move their lips at the same time. Naturally, fast reading is out of the question, because with all the desire a person is not able to say more than 500 words per minute. This means that he will read at the same speed. The one who masters the methods of speed reading will be able to read up to 2 thousand words during the same time.

2. Regression reading

The main brake that restrains the speed of reading is the return movement of the eyes to the already read text. It seems to us that by rereading a phrase or paragraph, we delve deeper into their essence, but in reality this is not so. The logic of the text itself is violated, and we are forced to return to what we have read again and again, which only aggravates the situation. Speed \u200b\u200breading experts believe that, if necessary, it is better to return to some place after the entire text has been read.

By getting rid of the regressions with which most people read, you can increase your reading speed by 2-3 times.

3. Limited field of view

The field of view is the space of perception of the text. For people who read slowly (and most of them), it is 4-5 cm. They can be compared with peeping through the keyhole, who see only a small part of the picture. Experts say that it is impossible to expand the field of vision with training. But with their help, you can learn to perceive information that is located in the area covered by peripheral vision. And as a result of training, it can be up to 10 cm.

Speed \u200b\u200bReading Exercises

Knowing the "enemy" of speed reading "in the face", we can eliminate it. Do not expect immediate results and be disappointed if they are not there or they leave much to be desired. Developing any new skill takes some time. It's like in sports: high results are achieved only by hard training.

1. Reading with a pointer

To make our eyes glide smoothly forward, we read with a pointer (sushi stick), moving it a little faster than our understanding of the text. You can also do this with your finger, if that's more convenient.

This exercise is called a reading speed boost exercise. The gaze should follow only the lines along which the pointer moves, and in no case let it out of sight, returning to what has already been read.

After a while, we will get rid of the regressions and will be able to read without a pointer.

2. Suppress articulation

Some experts consider subvocalization a natural process that helps reduce the burden associated with the assimilation of new material. However, it slows down reading significantly.

It is possible to suppress articulation - the work of the speech organs (tongue, lips, larynx) while reading "to oneself", and not aloud, can be done with the help of distraction. That is, in parallel with reading, we (or the partner studying with us) can tap some kind of rhythm on the table with a pencil. This will distract us from mentally speaking the text.

In addition to tapping, you can use the countdown method: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc. We will keep track of the count so as not to get lost, and we will not be able to pronounce the words. Instead of counting, you can hum some tune (aloud or "to yourself"), read tongue twisters or simple rhymes by heart.

3. Green point method

This method allows you to learn to perceive information in the field of peripheral vision. Draw a green dot in the center of the page with some text and focus our attention on it for 10 minutes. We mentally imagine a green dot in front of us and when we go to bed and close our eyes.

After practicing with concentration on the green dot for two weeks, we begin to consider the text located horizontally and vertically from it. We try to cover as many words as possible with our eyes - you don't need to read them, just see them.

Exercise with a green dot can be supplemented by exercises with Schulte tables, designed specifically to improve peripheral vision. The tables themselves and the methodology for studying them can be downloaded from one of the sites.

4. Train gibberish

Training in so-called gibberish reading, or reading from right to left, develops thinking, attention and the ability to concentrate.

To begin with, you can practice reading from right to left with the help of palindrome (from the Greek. "Back" and "run") - words or phrases that are equally read from left to right, which is vice versa. Examples of palindrome: “A rose fell on the paw of Azor”, “Roads Rome city or roads Mirgorod”, “Cat will soon be forty days”, “Pressed a boar on an eggplant,” etc. And then you can start training on a regular text. On the Internet, you can find a site that offers e-books written from right to left, and order them for free.

5. Reading upside down

Exercises to read a book upside down can increase your reading speed. First we read a paragraph in an overturned book, then we return it to its normal position and re-read it. We will immediately feel how easy and fast we can do it!

6. Tick-tock method

While reading, we capture with a glance only the beginning and end of the line, and not every word, as in normal reading. This will be enough to understand the meaning of what you have read, while the speed of reading will increase significantly.

7. Reading diagonally

The gaze slides along the diagonal of the page. Eye movements to the left or to the right are not allowed, return to what has already been read. At first, the gaze will cover only a few words, but as you train, the perceived volume will increase. The main thing in this method is to learn how to highlight key phrases and skip word garbage. You need to start reading from the top left corner of the page to the bottom right. People who have mastered this method only need to glance over the page to understand what is at stake.

Those who want to thoroughly master the methods of speed reading should find the right book. It could be “Learning to read quickly” by I. Golovleva. There are also a lot of educational video courses on the Web, for example "More than speed reading".

It is convenient and interesting to learn speed reading using various applications. One of them is Spreeder. The text is loaded into it, and the number of words and the speed of their appearance can be set independently.

When there is very little time left before school, and the child still does not know how to read, the parents begin to panic, because the baby will enter the first grade unprepared. The problem arises of how to quickly teach him to read. This can be done at home without resorting to the help of teachers. In this article, we will answer the main questions that parents may have when trying to quickly teach a child to read.

How do you know if your child is ready to learn?

The interest in reading arises in children about 5 years old. But we all know that every child is different in its development. Some are ready to study as early as 4 years old, and some will have to postpone this process until 6-7 years. It is very important for parents not to miss this moment, because during this period it will be much easier to teach reading.

You can help to awaken interest in reading in a child by personal example. There should be books and magazines at home, the child should see that the parents enjoy the reading process. Answering the child's questions, you can tell him which book contains this answer.

The best incentive for a child to learn to read is the example of parents

It is possible to understand whether a child is ready to learn to read if we analyze a number of factors:

Does the child know how to master enough speech:he must have a rich vocabulary, be able to build phrases, coordinate words, clearly express his thoughts, be able to talk about the objects and phenomena around him;
Is the phonemic hearing developed enough? Pay attention to whether the baby can distinguish the sounds of speech, name the first or last sound in a word, whether he can reproduce the sounds he heard;
Are there any problems with hearing and pronunciation.The child must have all the sounds, the correct tempo of speech, rhythm must be observed;
The kid should be free to navigate in space,know the concepts of right-left, top-bottom.

If all these factors are fully met, your child is ready to learn to read.

The best way is to learn to read in a playful way.

All educational and developmental activities with preschoolers should be played.At this age, the child is simply not able to perceive new information in a different way. Play is the most active form through which a preschooler learns the world. It is a natural condition for a child of this age. All classes should be unobtrusive, arranged according to the principle "as if, by the way," then the child will assimilate the information more fully.

For teaching reading, you can use a lot of play aids and games. Using play activities in learning, we create a positive emotional background that will help the child to assimilate the knowledge gained. With the help of the game, we can instill a love of reading. There is no obligation to play, the child develops as much as he can.

If, for example, the baby is not yet able to move from reading by syllables to reading words together, then he is not ready yet. Do not overstate the requirements. If suddenly a child has a persistent unwillingness to learn to read, it means that the adult has made a mistake somewhere. In this case, you should stop learning, pause and try again, offering the kid interesting games.

For a video review of the most popular methods of teaching reading, see the video:

Review of effective games and techniques

Teach your child not letters, but sounds.It will be difficult for the kid to understand that the letter "em" (or even "me") reads like "m", and he will read the word MAMA EMAEMA. At first, only sounds and only when the child understands how to read, proceed to learning the correct name of the letters.

The child should know how the letters sound, and only then - how they are called

Effective techniques

Zaitsev Cubes

Modern parents have heard a lot about Zaitsev's okubiks. This is one of the most popular techniques at the present time, with the help of which you can teach a child to read quite quickly. This learning method is suitable for active kids who find it difficult to sit in one place. Warehouses written on cubes are taken as one unit. This distinguishes this technique from the usual, where one unit is one letter. A speaking child at almost any age will be able to pronounce these warehouses.

There are different types of warehouses on Zaitsev's cubes:

warehouses with only one letter,
a warehouse that combines two letters: a consonant and a vowel, a consonant and a soft sign, a consonant and a hard sign.

Zaitsev's cubes are considered one of the fastest methods of teaching reading.

Cubes have different colors and are named differently depending on the color. Vowel cubes are called golden cubes, and their color is golden. Warehouses that sound loud are called iron warehouses, their color is gray. Wooden or brown cubes are warehouses with a dull sound. Punctuation marks represent white and green cubes.

Cubes have their own content and, depending on it, their sound and different weights. They can be filled:

chopsticks made of wood;
bells;
sand;
stones;
small metal objects;
caps and stoppers.

Also cubes vary in size. If the cube is of normal size, it means that the storage on it is soft. If the cube is double, then the warehouse on it will be solid.

In addition to cubes, tables are used on which all warehouses are written. These tables are always in sight of children.

Watch the video review of the customer of the Zaitsev Cubes set:

As early as 2 years old, you can use blocks to introduce your child to reading. The older the child, the fewer lessons he will need to learn to read. So, children under 3 years old will be able to master this skill in about six months, while a six-year-old child will need only 5-6 lessons to master the reading skill.

While studying, children do not spend time in one place. They are always on the move. All classes are conducted only in a playful way.

The most popular dice games are:

Cheerful steam locomotive. Children put together a steam locomotive from cubes with vowel warehouses. The locomotive starts moving when all the warehouses on the cubes are sung.
Gingerbread man... The child throws a kolobok cube anywhere in the room. He needs to catch up with the cube and read the warehouse that turned out to be on top.
Find a pair. To any warehouse you like on the cube, you need to find the same in the table.
Animal voices.We are looking for warehouses on the cubes that correspond to the sounds emitted by animals (me, meow, be, mu).

Thanks to the sounds emitted by Zaitsev's cubes, it is interesting to play even for the smallest

Parents' comments on this technique are not unambiguous. Someone says that with the help of this technique, the baby fell in love with reading. They helped to develop in the child logic, thinking, the ability to think critically, and contributed to his all-round development. It was absolutely not difficult for such parents to deal with the child, they noted that the children easily switched to independent reading.

A number of parents did not see the results in learning with bricks. The children did not understand the essence of such reading, it was difficult for them to switch to reading by syllables. For these guys, the individual form of training was not suitable, difficulties arose. With the collective form of training, there were more successes.

Watch another entertaining video about Zaitsev's cubes:

Speech therapy technique N. Zhukova

Another, no less popular, method of fast learning to read is the method developed by N. Zhukova. It is based on a speech therapy approach. With its help, you can prevent the appearance of speech defects. Training takes place with the help of the Primer, the hero of which is the "Cheerful Boy". The boy helps the child to master the correct reading, this process happens very quickly. The Primer begins with learning to read syllables. Words gradually appear and at the end texts are offered for reading.

The Primer contains a minimum of unnecessary information, the child has nothing to distract from the process, there are few entertaining games and pictures in it. The technique is only suitable for highly motivated five-year-olds who want to go to school faster.

Games to help your child learn to read quickly

Letter learning games

Create, together with the baby, bright and memorable images of letters, with which he can then play. For such purposes, you can use ready-made cards with colorful letters.

You can study with Elena Bakhtina's primer. She offers colored letters that can be cut, entertaining pictures and interesting stories about each letter. You can use coloring pages where the letters resemble various objects.

To memorize letters, you can use short verses, telling about the letter.
Designing letters from matches, counting sticks, plasticine, wire.

Create with child table "reminders"about each letter.

The table is a "reminder" about letters

Create an album in which the letters will live.Each page is a dwelling for a separate letter. Homes can be decorated with pictures starting with this letter, coloring, write poems about this letter.

Name the letters that were hidden.The child is offered a picture on which he must find various letters.

Together with your child, you can create a house for letters.In the house for each letter there should be a window-pocket. After studying the letter, we populate the cardboard letter home. The studied letters can be offered the treat that begins with it (A - apricot, pineapple). Fairy-tale characters can visit the letter with which their name begins (L - Leopold, M - Masha). With the help of such a house for letters, the child will learn to recognize the learned letters, to determine the first letter in a word.

"Catch the Sound" We throw a ball to the child, calling different words. If the word contains the letter under study, then we catch the ball. If there is no letter, the ball must be hit.

Board games can be used to learn letters.Lotto and dominoes with letters help a lot in this. The ideal option would be a lotto, which does not contain pictures, but only letters. So the stage of memorizing letters will go much faster. You can make such a lotto yourself. He will need 6-8 cards with written letters and small pictures with letters, which the child will name for searching on the cards.

Riddles in which the learned sound is often repeated.

An elephant walked across Africa

Wagged his long trunk,

And then again! - and disappeared:

Turned into a letter ... (C)

« Fishing". Pictures are put into a basin, to which magnets are attached. The child's task: to catch all the words in the name of which there is a learned letter.

For an example of another educational game, see the video:

Games aimed at the ability to add syllables

After you and your child have studied all the letters, the next stage comes - we add the syllables.

Following the same principle as the lotto for letters, you can make syllabic lotto.
You can use walking games. You can make such games yourself, using ready-made walking games as a basis. Various syllables must be entered in the empty cells along which the chip needs to be moved. During the game, the child rolls the dice as usual. The difference is that he must read the syllables that come across his path. So sound tracks can be obtained, even consisting of 6 syllables. The same principle can be used to build a race track. The child must move the typewriter, reading the syllables that come across on his way. Whoever reads all the syllables faster will reach the destination faster and win the race.

Games "Shop" and "Mail". Write different syllables on your shop coins. The buyer must give a coin with a syllable written on it. The name of the product should begin with this syllable (a coin with the syllable ba - we buy a banana, a coin with the syllable ma - we buy a typewriter, a coin with the syllable pla - we buy a dress). The principle of the Mail game is the same as that of the Store game. Here, for the game, you need to prepare envelopes, instead of the address on which syllables will be written. The addressees are toy animals. The task of the game is to correctly deliver mail (an envelope with the syllable with - for a dog, an envelope with a syllable for - for a fox).
Houses with syllables. This game requires houses with syllables written on them; figures of men cut out of cardboard with written names; pictures cut from magazines with furniture, fruits, vegetables and other miscellaneous items. During the game, for each house you need to find a tenant, a man whose name begins with a syllable written on the house. In this case, the little man goes to the store and buys himself something that starts with the same syllable. For example, Dima will settle in a house with the di syllable and buy himself a sofa, Polina will settle in a house with a po and buy herself tomatoes.
Game "Make a syllable from halves." To play, you need to write various syllables on cardboard cards and cut them in half horizontally. Shuffle the cards. The child's task is to collect cards and read the syllables written on them.
Finish the word. On the cards we write words divided into syllables. Better to use words with two syllables, such as porridge, puddle, field, feather. We cut the cards into separate syllables. We move the syllables with the beginning of the words to one side, the syllables with the end of the words to the other. To play, we take a card with the beginning of a word, loudly read the syllable that is written on it and the word that the child must compose. For example, KA - porridge. The child's task is to find a card with a syllable that ends a word. In this case, a card with the syllable SHA.

House with syllables

At the stage of teaching a child to read words and sentences, one has to study a lot from books. In order to instill a love of reading, such classes must be diluted with play activities.Here you can suggest the following games.

Find the hidden word.Rules: lay out a track of different words in front of the child. His task is to choose what you have in mind. For example, among the words: "bow, table, swing, cat", find a "living" word, vegetables, a piece of furniture, children's entertainment on the street. After each search, it is better to put the card back and mix the words so that the child does not show the cards from memory.
"Word in Word."The child must find the word in the word. For example, COMMANDS - GOODS, VARI, SHIPS, LAUGHTER - FUR.
"Make up a word"Multi-colored circles with written syllables and pictures that tell the child which word to make. For example, a picture of the sea. The child must choose two circles. On the first circle, the syllable is MO, on the second - PE. Picture depicting the sky. The child chooses circles with the syllables NOT and BO.

Developing game "Continue the words"

"Footprints with words."You can get from one end of the room to the other only by following the footsteps with the words written on them. Stepping on the trail, you must read the word on it.
"Collect the Word." The child is offered letters from which he must assemble a word. For example, HSEM - LAUGHTER, INKO - KINO.
« Airport "or" Parking ". For the game, you need to choose similar words, for example, CAT, MOLE, MOUTH, COURT, which need to be laid out on the floor. This is necessary so that the child does not make a choice from memory, but read the words. The plane flies from one airport to another. Names of airports - words you say to your child. If this is a game "Parking", then the child's car is parked in the parking space offered to him.

You can independently or together with your child come up with such games, relying on the hobbies of your baby. Games need to be constantly changing. Your imagination will certainly help you in such a difficult process of teaching your child to read.

The most effective learning for preschoolers is playing

Reading exercises and games

To consolidate the initial reading skills, children can be invited to play the following games:

"Make up the word." The child is asked to make up a word from mixed-up syllables and letters. For example: creating a game situation - the Fox decided to make gifts to her grandmother and wrote them down so as not to forget. Suddenly the wind blew in and mixed everything. Let's help the chanterelle remember what she wanted to give to her grandmother, making up words from mixed up letters and syllables. MOUTH - CAKE, FE KO YOU N - CANDIES, VE C YOU - FLOWERS, KI CH O - GLASSES, CH RO KU KA - CHICKEN….
A game "We repair words"

We are ordinary words

Everyone knows us all

We contain the letter "a"

Three times or twice.

Sometimes just one

(Not at the beginning).

But today .. Well, well!

"Guess what's wrong."The child can be offered pictures of animals or any other objects. The names in the pictures are signed incorrectly (instead of a cow - a crown, instead of a drum - a ram). The child must find the mistake by carefully reading and thinking about the meaning of the written word.
"Border of countries"... In the game, you need to write various words on a sheet. These words will be the inhabitants of the countries. It is necessary that the groups of written words are the exact opposite of each other. As an example, we can take living and nonliving, wild and domestic animals, summer phenomena - winter phenomena, etc. The child's task is to read the names of all residents and draw the border between countries. Such a game will help not only to consolidate reading skills, but also make the child read thoughtfully and reason.

Watch a useful video with a reading lesson by Svetlana Orochko:

"Make up proverbs"

Fun, business, and, time, hour - Business time, and fun hour.

You can use a series of notebooks "Letters from the gnome Gosha" I will teach you to read.Here, at the third level of difficulty, the gnome writes large letters for the child, reading which the child will also consolidate the acquired skills.

The most important thing at this stage is not to make reading boring. Add fairy tales, magic to the child ... Captivate him with the game ... Even reading the text several times, as recommended for better understanding, can be made interesting by reading in different ways.

The video below reveals a few secrets on how to instill in your baby a love of reading:

Is it worth watching video tutorials?

The answer to this question is certainly worth it. With the help of video tutorials, you can diversify the learning process.The child will be happy to watch the video, while the child's attention will be completely focused on it. As a rule, such lessons are short in time, but the effect of their use is maximum.

When teaching a child to read, it is necessary to use every opportunity to make this process colorful and fun. Using video tutorials will help you in this difficult task.

For example, watch this educational cartoon "Luntik teaches letters":

How to teach to memorize what you read?

Reading memorization is an important aspect in teaching a child to read. You can often find that a child can read very quickly. However, when you ask him a question about what he has read, he cannot answer it. This is due to mechanical reading, the child does not ponder over the read text. Such reading will give the child many problems in the future, because at school it is necessary not only to read, but to retell the texts and answer questions about them. You need to understand what you are reading about.

The child should read in a quiet and calm environment.

How can you teach to memorize what you read? We will try to answer this question.

There should be no distractions while reading.It is better to read in silence and calm atmosphere.
It is necessary that the child understands what he is reading.To do this, each sentence read must be analyzed. You can read the sentence several times. If there are words in the text that are incomprehensible to the child, their meaning should be explained to him.
At the initial stage of learning to read and memorize what has been read, you can offer to draw an illustration for each paragraph read. Looking at such an illustration, the child will be able to remember what he read.
If a child has problems remembering what he has read, then you can offer to divide the text into parts... First, let's read the first paragraph, analyze it, understand the meaning of what we read, draw an illustration. Then take a break, at least a short one, so that the child can be distracted. After the break, we start reading the second paragraph. We also explain the meaning of what we have read, analyze, tell, draw an illustration. Then we ask the child to tell the first and second parts that he read. You can use illustrations as a guide. Take a break again. And so we read until the end of the text. Short texts are easier to read and remember.
Reading is best in the morning.By evening, the child's brain is already overloaded with information and is unable to remember it. Therefore, in the evening it will be much more difficult for the child to remember what he has read.
The most important thing is to understand what you read!Do not force the child to recite the entire text from sentence to sentence. The most important thing is for the child to be able to retell the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe paragraph read, to understand what it says.
When the child is telling what he has read, do not interrupt him at all. It is very easy for a child to get lost in thought and forget what he has read.

In this video, Shamil Akhmadullin tells why the child does not understand and remember the read texts poorly, and how to deal with it:

It helps well to avoid mechanical reading exercises with filling in missing words.To find a word that is suitable for the meaning, the child needs to read the text thoughtfully. For example, Kolya bought ... sweets (here the child chooses the words on his own, it can be sweet, tasty, chocolate, sucking ...). Today was ... day. (suitable words are chosen from the context: rainy, sunny, beautiful, cheerful, warm ...).
Another effective exercise is to use semantic nonsense in the text.Here, along with correct sentences, the child is offered sentences with semantic errors that make his meaning ridiculous.

Example:

In one village the faithful dog Barbos lived with the owners. The owners loved and pampered him very much. They treated him to a double hammer and fresh wood. Once Watchdog went for a walk - to breathe in the fresh wind and warm up in a frying pan.

It is necessary to read the text, covering the first and last few letters of each line. The child needs to guess the meaning of the hidden letters.

Determine which type of memory the child has better developed: visual or auditory. Sometimes, for memorization, it is better for children to additionally listen to the read text.

How to speed up the pace of reading for schoolchildren

Nowadays, students are being burdened more and more. For successful learning, students must be able to read consciously and quickly. By helping your child speed up their reading pace, you can help them succeed in their studies. after all, as psychologists say, the text that is read at the pace of the speech is best remembered.

At a low reading rate, the text is not remembered by the first grader. The reason for this is that when he reads the entire text to the end, he will already forget what happened at the beginning. If the reading speed is too high, the child "swallows" most of what he reads without understanding it.

Often, at the initial stage of learning, children do not remember what they have just read.

Reading 35-40 words per minute is considered the norm of reading technique when a child finishes grade 1.When reading, the child must understand what he has read, he must read slowly, correctly. By the end of the school year, the child should move from syllabic reading to reading in separate words.

At the end of the second year of study, the child should read at least 55-60 words per minute.Now he should read in whole words, consciously, without making mistakes. At 8-9 years old, the child should already be able to observe the necessary pauses, logical stress and intonation of the text.

At the end of the third grade, the reading pace should increase to 75-80 words per minute. At the same time, a 10-year-old child should be able to show reading comprehension, observing pauses, intonation, and logical stress.

By the end of primary school, the child should read fluently, consciously, correctly. The student should already be able to show with the help of intonations his attitude to what he read, observing pauses, logical stresses. At the age of 11, a child should already be able to use all the necessary means of expressiveness in oral speech.

Parents should understand that when testing reading technique, the speed at which a child reads will not be the main metric. In addition to reading speed, the method of reading (syllabic or reading in words), reading awareness (the child must understand what he is reading about), expressiveness, and the presence of errors during reading are checked.

Below is a rather useful video about teaching children to read speed:

In order to accelerate the student's reading pace, at which he will understand what he has read, it is necessary to deal with the reasons that prevent the child from reading the text at a fast pace and with reading comprehension.

The child may be disturbed:

Bad memory.While the child finishes the sentence, he has already forgotten what he read at the beginning. He has to read over and over again until he understands the meaning of this sentence. In this case, it is necessary to develop the child's memory. There are many different exercises for this.
Inattention. The child reads automatically without focusing on reading. There is something completely different in his thoughts at this moment. As a result, it turns out that the text has been read, but not understood. Mindfulness is the quality on which the understanding and memorization of the text depends very much. Attention, like memory, needs to be developed. There are effective techniques and recommendations for this. But first of all, you need to eliminate all distractions while reading, create an appropriate environment.
The child reads little at home, does not like to read... Encourage your child to read. For example, start reading a story with a compelling plot to your child and stop at the most interesting spot. If he wants to know the sequel, he must read it himself. You will, of course, continue, but not today, not now, maybe tomorrow. ... Offer your child as much interesting fiction as possible for reading. Show that you enjoy reading by example. On the positive side, if the child reads a lot, his vocabulary will expand.
Limited field of vision.This can be expressed in the fact that the child does not see the word that follows the read. It takes time to see, read and understand this word. In solving this problem, classes with Schulte tables can help.
Regression of eye movements... The child looks back at the words already read. You can help in solving this problem if you cover each word you have already read with a sheet of paper or a ruler. With constant repetition, the child's eyes will get used to the correct movement and will not look at the text read.
The articulating apparatus is underdeveloped. Here you can recommend classes with a teacher-defectologist. At home, you should strive to ensure that the child speaks slowly, calmly, pronouncing every word to the end. Learn tongue twisters, tongue twisters, sing songs with your child to practice stretching words.
Speech therapy problems. A speech therapist can help you solve them. Do not leave classes with a speech therapist until you see a fixed result. The child may need a massage course.

Look carefully to see if your child has any of the above problems. If suddenly such were found, then do not hesitate, take measures to solve them. This will be an important step in helping your child learn to read quickly and with awareness.

The following video shows tasks for training attention using the Schulte table.

For some tips on how to make your child love to read and do it without reminders and with pleasure, see the video:

Arrange reading five minutes.Ask your child to read the small text several times throughout the day. At the same time, the child does not need to read aloud. Here you can practice reading to yourself. Then ask him to tell you about what he read.
Words in which there are many consonants in a row (for example, INSTRUMENT) cause enormous reading difficulties for the first grader. Such words can be written out on separate cards and learned with the child until he can quickly read them and pronounce them clearly.
Watching filmstrips, in which a small phrase is replaced by a colorful picture, does not let the child get tired while reading. Fast read-to-view switchover plays a role here.
If the child cannot read for a long time, then divide the text into 1-2 sentences and read them intermittently.During the break, the child is resting and after that he is ready to read the following sentences.
Teach your child to retell the texts they have read. The texts for retelling should not be long.

A filmstrip, in which the kid will need to read the text on his own, is presented below:

Parents who want to teach their child to read as quickly as possible need to be very delicate in the learning process. Here are the rules and tips for those parents who do not want their child to lose interest in reading, but want to instill in their child a love for him.

You can start learning to read even when the child is not yet speaking.

The sooner you start, the better. At an early age, you can hang cards with letters throughout the house and call them to your child several times a day. You can buy a sounded poster "Alphabet" with funny rhymes, songs about letters. With the child's finger, trace the outline of the letter, calling it.

Do it only while playing with your child!

This is the most important rule. All the information that the preschooler receives through the game is assimilated much faster than the information that is presented to him in the form of a boring lesson.

Perhaps the video below will help you understand the reasons why the child does not like to read:

Get your child interested in reading.

If you start to force the child to read, then this desire will disappear forever. Get the child interested. Read to him yourself as many interesting stories, fairy tales, poems as possible. At home, there should be a rich selection of fiction for children. Tell him that all the answers to his questions can be found in books. Read for yourself, the child should see that those around him love to read. It is from them that he takes an example, strives to be like his parents.

Try to learn syllables, not letters.

For some children, it is sometimes easier to learn to read in syllables than in letters. You can make your own cards with different syllables and place them throughout the apartment. During the day, show the child these syllables, name them. You can try to make words from syllables. Have the child look for the specified syllable in a word. Change the syllable cards every day.

You need to consolidate the knowledge gained as often as possible.

The more often you do this, the sooner your child will learn to read.

Proceed gradually from simple to complex.

Do not ask your child to read a word if he still does not know sounds well. Do it in stages. Learn all sounds with your child. After that, move on to reading syllables, teach him to merge syllables. Only after the child has successfully coped with this task, you can proceed to learning to read whole words.

Start learning simple.

You need to start with the simplest words with repetitive sounds: MOM, DAD, BABA. Next, move on to learning how to read words consisting of a syllable and a consonant: GRANDFATHER, CAT, ROT. Then move on to words consisting of 2-3 or more syllables. When the child begins to read individual words well, you can move on to reading simple sentences, MOTHER SOAP FRAME. Read words with the letters b, b, y last.

Play didactic games.

You can find a lot of games to learn a letter. The simplest game can be called the search for the letter under study in the text. Lotto, dominoes ... Use every opportunity.

The video below shows an example of how a three-year-old child learned to read from the speech therapy Primer by E. Kostikova :?

Create situations where the child will need to know the letters.

Let the grandmother give the child a note, he can receive a letter from Santa Claus, a greeting card. Show your child that reading is very important in everyone's life.

Give your child an incentive to read.

For success in learning to read, a child can be given a small gift. Just don't make it a habit. The child himself should want to learn to read, to love reading, and not to read for something.

Close the text you read.

This is to avoid regression of eye movements. The child is distracted from reading when his gaze returns to what he read. The eyes should only move forward. Cover every word you read with a ruler, bookmark, or just a strip of white paper.

Always be patient and child-friendly.

If the child does not succeed in something, then he is not yet ready for this. Do not scold him and compare him with someone who was able to learn faster. This will discourage your child from reading forever.

Watch the following videos by Svetlana Orochko, in which she talks about how parents can quickly teach a preschooler to read at home.

The speed reading technique helps to assimilate a large amount of new knowledge. It will be useful in the learning process for diligent students and those employees whose work is related to the study of new information.

Thus, the editor of a literary publishing house has to read many books by young authors before accepting them for publication. To read at high speed and be productive, you need to learn speed reading techniques.

Speed \u200b\u200breading: how to learn to read quickly

Everyone who simply needs to study a lot of books and textbooks dreams of learning how to quickly read and memorize what you read. Nowadays, time flies by. Successful studies, work, and career often depend on the speed with which a person is able to study, assimilate textual material, make decisions based on the knowledge gained, and draw conclusions.

Experts who are deeply involved in this issue, note that usually the speed of reading depends on several "inhibiting" aspects:

regression;
range of vision;
viewing angle;
eye trajectory;
reciting to oneself and aloud what has been read;
time of comprehension;
not selectivity.

What is regression? To read a textbook and memorize what we have read, our eyes scan each line of text printed from left to right, and then go back and revise again. Such return leaps, which serve for better memorization and understanding of the meaning, are called regression.

A set of speed reading exercises to improve reading speed starts with avoiding regressions. Try to look through the lines of the story, any information, without going back to previous words. That is, it is necessary to train your eyes to move in only one direction, regardless of whether you managed to understand the meaning of what was written or not.

Understand that at this point you are practicing looking at the line you are reading from left to right. To comprehend what you have read, come back to this a second time. This will not be a regression, but a repetition of the passed, as you will again try to read, moving your eyes in one direction.

The range and angle of view is different for everyone. One person clearly sees only one long or two short words on a line at a time. The best readers see a few words side by side and a few lines up and down. Someone is even able to discern a whole paragraph, 5-6 sentences long, at once.

This ability is developed by special exercises and training. Aces who have mastered the extended viewing angle reading method read in whole blocks. You can read several books in a week in this way.

The trajectory of the vertical gaze is also different. There are people who gradually lower their gaze from top to bottom, running line by line. Others move their gaze from top to bottom, sticking to the middle of the page.

Reading diagonally is more convenient for the third. The writer Gorky read, drawing a zigzag from top to bottom on the page with his eyes. These people can read quickly and correctly by being able to see a line from a wider angle. The usual angle is only two degrees.

Another nuance that prevents you from quickly reading printed books is the need to pronounce the text to yourself. It is enough for some people to reproduce the text in their minds, others need to whisper, moving their lips and tongue, and still others, until they speak aloud, do not understand what they are reading about.

It depends on experience. For those who read more, it is enough to pronounce the text inwardly, in their minds. But those who read little tend to say what they read aloud. This habit naturally slows down your reading speed a lot.

People with limited horizons can hardly master the meaning of a complex text. It is difficult for an adult, not well-read person to read without mistakes and understand what he has read. Illiterate, degraded people very slowly understand even simple information. Different ability to assimilate information significantly affects the speed and memorization of the text.

Each printed text contains key words, which contain the main meaning and words that carry useful information. But the words of bundles, prepositions, particles are enough. There are even stop words and sentences called water.

They are written to move from one paragraph to another, as well as to create a beautiful presentation. If you carefully read all the words and make stops at every comma and point, reading will be very slow.

A set of exercises to improve your reading speed

The first exercise is useful for widening the angle of view. Without performing trainings, a person can easily distinguish signs located on an area of \u200b\u200bhundreds of pixels from the point of direction of gaze.

Trained abilities allow you to see groups of printed signs quite well. A workout that develops peripheral vision is useful when the gaze slides in a zigzag or from the top corner of the page to the opposite bottom corner.

Excellent peripheral vision increases speed reading, allowing you to capture several words at once. If you still isolate useful information and skip the "water", the speed of mastering the text will increase.

The Internet offers a special training, when a person concentrates his gaze on a screen with numbers, letters, after which he counts the same signs visible from a side, scattered gaze. On the keyboard, you need to type the result.

If you count correctly, the training circle will turn green and enlarge. If the answer is no, the circle turns red and narrows. So you can independently learn to read quickly and correctly.

Speed \u200b\u200breading lessons are advised to start with the simplest. Watch the movement of your eyes, do not let your gaze go back to previous words. Choose an interesting or familiar text for your practice. Speed \u200b\u200breading is acquired when you try to avoid regression.

Do not be discouraged if, without re-reading the previous words on a line, you will not remember everything and will not understand something. If the information is not important, there is no loss in it. But, when you are interested in this information and need it for work, study, repeat reading this paragraph, block again.

But at the same time, let the gaze again move along the line without regression, without disturbing the smooth forward movement from left to right. These speed reading techniques will be successfully learned if you take the training long enough and repeat the work many times.

Fast reading technique with high retention rate

Revealing the secrets of speed reading, Pavel Bagryantsev on his virtual channel of a modern man reveals the issue from a somewhat unexpected side. He suggests learning to read an entire book in just 20 minutes and memorize what you read.

His speed reading technique is based on knowledge of the basic principles of writing books. If an adult remembers the lessons of the Russian language and literature, a lot will become clear to him. Any textbook of literature advises you to start your essay with a plan. The plan always has an introduction, a listing of the main chapters of the essay and a conclusion.

Also, each book has a table of contents. In order to successfully assimilate the information, Paul proposes to consider the book cover from two sides. Read everything that is written there. Usually the author puts the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe book in the title and short annotation on the back cover.

Now go through the first pages. Find useful information. Sometimes there is a preface and a short message about the author. You can already see the table of contents on the second page. Read it carefully. You can immediately determine which chapter interests you the most.

Open the page of the chapter that interests you. Read the first two sentences or the first paragraph of the chapter. Typically, these sentences cover the entire chapter.

The last paragraph summarizes the chapter and its short content, summary. To quickly understand what the chapter is about, just read the first and last paragraphs.

Basically, you've already read the book. If some topic caught on, you can safely enjoy a detailed reading, swinging on a hammock, on a warm summer evening. The task of early reading has been completed in full: the information about the work is clear to you. It only took a few minutes.

Of course, you can't read textbooks like that. They are studied in detail and thoughtfully. But ordinary entertaining reading, like stories about how to get rich, can be viewed, something to remember, to focus on something and boldly put aside.

So they study many books, broaden their horizons, fishing out from a large amount of information what is useful and important for human activity, what needs to be remembered.

The most effective speed reading techniques

Oleg Andreev's Virtual Speed \u200b\u200bReading School for Adults suggests starting work on yourself by determining your personal reading speed.

To do this, the number of characters in the text should be divided by the reading time and multiplied by the reading comprehension coefficient. It is necessary to pick up an unfamiliar book, read one page, with a known number of characters. The reading time is measured with a stopwatch. In this case, 45 seconds are equal to 0.75.

After that, you need to answer ten questions in the text. If you were able to answer 4 questions, your understanding ratio will be 0.4. If you answer 7 questions, the coefficient is 0.7.

Do not be upset if your speed is not very high. Two hundred characters per minute, or 300-400, is considered the norm for the average person.

If you read a little and rarely, you do not need to study a lot of textbooks, this speed is enough for you. There are many specialties in the world - seamstresses, cooks, carpenters, blacksmiths, which are successful, happy and without numerous books.

It is useful to draw up a graph, plotting reading speed on one axis and class number on the other.

After you learn how to view the text without going back to the previous signs, with the aim of re-reading, that is, get rid of the regression, let's move on to correcting the tempo.

Ordinary people at the same pace get acquainted with the text about the consumption of washing powder, the operation of the microwave and the novel by Tolstoy. However, each text requires an individual approach. The tempos for the information on the label of the soap and the artwork are chosen differently.

Observe yourself. If you have articulation, that is, unexpected work with your tongue, mouth, lips, you need to learn to get rid of this. This greatly slows down reading, as does the lack of concentration on the process.

So, watch yourself, try not to mumble, not move your lips, not move your eyes in the opposite direction, and try to cover several words at once.

Now make up a new algorithm for reading an unfamiliar article. Make blocks of the reading algorithm:

Name of the text;
Author;
A source;
What problem is the article devoted to;
Facts, names, parameters given in the text;
Features, criticism;
Novelty.

By filling in, writing down or memorizing these blocks, you will already receive a lot of information about the article. By highlighting the features and critical passages of the text, you remember and understand them better. Take note of what you have gained from reading this article.

Filling in the cells of the blocks of the integral reading algorithm in the classroom, you accustom yourself to look at the text deliberately and in a new way.

In linguistics, there is a concept of text redundancy. The fact is that each text contains words that carry useful information and the so-called "Water". It is good to learn how to weed out useless words from useful ones.

An unusual way of reading answers this question. If you find the answers to the requests described above for yourself, you will get the correct algorithm. Spend your brain energy only on the semantic portion of the article.

Try to fix all parts of the new algorithm properly in your consciousness and subconsciousness, deep memory. Repeat at least 5 times.

Form your mindset on how to read in a new way. Create an image in the head, in the form of a man, with a name on the cap, an author in the face, a source at the top of the body, problems at the bottom. The little man firmly rests his feet on facts and in his hands holds two suitcases with features and novelty.

Draw such a simple drawing with your own hand, sign all the parts. Place one copy of such a drawing on your desktop so that it is constantly in front of your eyes. Always carry the second one with you, looking in your spare minutes, on the way to work, on the subway, or on the bus.

Having memorized the new algorithm firmly, read new texts, putting parts of it in blocks familiar to you. After reading the article, you need to think about it with your eyes closed. You will see in your thoughts that everything that you have read has already been located in the necessary cells of the image.

Through repeated repetition, you will develop a solid installation about reading correctly and quickly, with the highlighting of useful information. This picture will be erased from memory, but a new program of mental actions will remain, more effective and useful for your activity.

You can choose any drawing for the working image, it is important that it is understandable to you and drawn with your own hand. As you practice the new reading algorithm, trace the blocks in the book with colored pencils. You will see how much information is useful, to which you paid attention and how much unnecessary water. Redundancy is an important practical nuance.

How to learn speed reading at home

In order not to overload your brain with unnecessary information, set an alarm for 20-30 minutes. And at this time, just read, without regressions, remembering the redundancy of the text, trying to see several words at once and moving your gaze faster downward, diagonally, in a straight line, as you prefer.

You can trace around the edge of the book with the tip of a pencil or by pressing your index finger.

Do not be distracted at this time by TV, telephone, e-mail, landscape outside the window. Concentrate your attention on one reading. Immersion in the content of the book, concentrated attention plays an important role in the development of a high speed of assimilation of information.

Try to memorize the main points, useful thoughts, new, special facts. If you read very quickly, but do not memorize anything, there is no point in such reading.

To train your memory, repeat the exercises five times, memorize poems that you like. Concentration, development of peripheral vision and memory are important points to look out for when practicing speed reading at home.

Best speed reading books

There are many useful books for training fast reading. But each person, knowing his mistakes and abilities, must independently choose the training manual he likes. A recommended list of literature by well-known authors is given below.

Peter Kamp “Speed \u200b\u200bReading. How to memorize more by reading 8 times faster "()

The original collection, it contains specific tasks, technical advice, developing the ability to read speed.

Reading is not only a fun activity, but also a definite human obligation. Thanks to the ability to read, a person gets maximum information in his life - he determines the format of the store, the composition of the product, learns about the diagnosis and much more.

The question of how to learn to read quickly is considered in childhood, however, for an adult, this skill or familiarization with it turns out to be important. Next, we will consider ways to read quickly, because reading quickly means doing more and learning more.

The importance of speed reading

The technique of reading quickly is called speed reading. Why is it necessary in principle? The fact is that a person acquires new knowledge only under the condition of visible perception.

More than 95% of the information entering the human brain is provided by the ability to see.

At the same time, reading important information that is necessary to achieve your goal is no exception.

Imagine a situation: you have legal troubles, and only brochures with the Criminal, Tax, Labor or Civil Codes of the Russian Federation can help you. In which book to look for the information you are interested in is unknown, and the time for solving the problem is limited. What to do in such a situation?

In this case, the untrained brain will not find the necessary answer to the questions, and if it does, it will not be able to perceive it to the proper extent. As a result, the problems that have arisen will only get worse.

Experts say that a person who not only reads a lot, but owns the speed reading technique:

self-assured;
has adequate self-esteem, is somewhat self-critical, which is also only useful in most situations;
achieves its goals.

Such statements are not groundless - for this, specialists of various systems have carried out numerous studies. They came to the conclusion that it is possible to get a decent education in life only with the help of a large number of read books.

An educated person can always find a job to their liking and with good material support. A successful person strives for self-improvement, which is also achieved by reading certain updated literature.

You can get the information you need only from newspapers or other sources that need to be read quickly, and not just read. People with speed reading skills learn new things faster.

Why does a person read slowly

Even special speed reading exercises do not always help to achieve the desired result. There are certain reasons why the speed reading technique is “useless”. These include:

low vocabulary - the problem can be eliminated by reading interesting literature ( artistic or scientific);
lack of proper concentration of attention on the text - in this case, the problem is explained by a weak articulation apparatus, which is easy to train with the help of special exercises;
untrained memory - can only be developed through constant reading of books and discussion or simple recollection of what was read;
complex content of the book - not always a child or even an adult can perceive an intricate plot or a large number of complex sentences in the text;
constantly returning to a specific word - Often there is some incomprehensible word in the text, it needs to be clarified.

The explanation of a difficult and unknown word in the text should be done by the parents if the child reads and asks a question. Otherwise, you should consult an explanatory dictionary or the Internet.

Basic Quick Reading Tricks

Teaching speed reading should begin with learning the basics of technique. These basics include the following points:

Only useful books should be read. If you want to become successful, then you should stop your choice on the autobiographies of talented entrepreneurs and so on.
They choose books only with easy-to-read presentation - these include the manuscripts of contemporary authors. The classics in this case will be inappropriate, since the text will contain a large number of already outdated words.
The selected book must be read quickly 2 times. The first time is familiarization with the information, and the second time is the speed reading technique.
Read only in places convenient for you - preferably at home and at least 1-1.5 hours without interruption for important matters.
You should not read a work you do not like, as well as "superfluous" - a person who wants to succeed should not start reading science fiction.

These are just the main points that will help you master speed reading at home. Next, you should study the subtleties in the technique.

Speed \u200b\u200breading techniques

In fact, speed reading is a complex of numerous techniques that are used to master a skill.

Techniques are divided into groups - intended for children or adults. If we talk about adults, the following methods of mastering speed reading can be distinguished:

Reading a book from beginning to end, and then vice versa - from end to beginning. In this case, it means the ability to increase the reading speed.
Reading diagonally - the technique is very interesting, but reading obliquely helps in quickly flipping through books. Basically, this method is used in the study of fiction.
Driving your finger along the bottom of the stitch - this method is used even in the study of reading techniques in preschool age. This is explained by help in concentration.
Assignment technique - based on the selection of keywords in the text, which are no longer readable in the future, but are perceived.
Empathy technique - it is important to visualize the main character of the book, to feel him. The presented actions make it easier to perceive the readable text.

There is another interesting method on how to read books quickly. The method is called simply: "Method of assault". It is used by intelligence officers when they need to understand and assimilate a large amount of information. The method consists in using a book of scientific literature.

The volume of the book is at least 100 pages. The technique consists in preliminary preparation of pages - it is necessary to draw a vertical line with a pencil on each page strictly in the middle.

The presented technique is trained by an individual person, but everyone can master it.

You can also read special books on speed reading - these are the work of numerous specialists who offer various methods and ways to improve reading speed. Everyone will find the most interesting option for themselves, which will help to the greatest extent.

The importance of comprehension of the information read

It is not enough to know how to learn speed reading, it is necessary to perceive quickly read information, which is not easy to achieve.

At first, you need to learn how to simply extract useful information from the text you read. This helps to comprehend the meaning of what you read much faster.

Secondly, it is important to use the understood information in practice - in this case, a person begins to use speed reading for the benefit of himself. Such actions and basics are compared to the study of foreign languages \u200b\u200b- if there is no practice, the memorized words will quickly be forgotten.

There are the following rules on how to learn to read quickly and memorize what you read:

Tell about what you read friends and acquaintances.
Take notes as you read - it is necessary to highlight important phrases or entire paragraphs.
Read only during the hours of intensive brain work - depending on the type, a person is divided into "owl" or "lark". The time should be chosen when the brain is working most actively.
Never read aloud - it distracts from the perception of information.
It's important to focus on reading - if a person is tormented by more important events, it will be much more difficult to perceive and remember information.

How to teach a child to read quickly and correctly?

Speed \u200b\u200breading for children also exists, and the technique should be used immediately, as soon as the baby is ready to learn the skill. In the future, this will help to quickly and easily perceive the information received at school.

When to start learning?

A child should be taught to read only after a full and independent analysis of his condition. The child is ready to learn if the following points are present:

There is more useful information here.

The kid is fluent in speech - he can speak in whole sentences, uses uncommon words in a conversation with an adult.
He has developed phonemic hearing - whether the baby perceives words well by ear, can he name the initial and last letter in the word pronounced for him.
The baby has no problems with hearing and pronunciation - all sounds in the child's speech are delivered, the correct tempo of sentences is maintained ( the child focuses on the keywords in the sentence).
The child is free to navigate in space - he has a well-developed vestibular apparatus, he knows the concept of "left", "right", "up" and "down".

It turns out that teaching a child to read and teaching him the speed reading technique is possible only in the absence of developmental problems. You should not start training at an early age if the baby is not interested in it - the work will not bring the desired results, and training may even "get up".

Step-by-step instruction

To instill in the child the skills of speed reading ( it is not fully recommended to teach him in preschool age this technique), you need to do the following steps:

Determine which technique is easier for him - and use it at first. As speed reading develops, change the methods with more complex options.

Human development in modern society is impossible without obtaining a sufficient amount of information, the main source of which is reading. A major challenge in the 21st century is the lack of time. For many it is unrealistic to set aside even a couple of hours a day to read an interesting book or article. The solution to this problem may be to increase the reading speed. The question arises: "how quickly to read?" The best way to solve this problem is to learn how to read speed. First of all, in order to start mastering this technique, you need to choose the books on which you will study, online books will help you with this.

To the question: “how to learn speed reading?”, We will give practical advice in this article.

5 rules for learning to read books quickly

The first rule is to focus on reading.

The main answer to the question "how to quickly learn to read?" is the ability to focus on reading, to abstract from external factors. It is best to find a place where there will be no noise, fuss around you, chatter, rid your head of unnecessary thoughts and immerse yourself in reading. An equally important factor in order to focus is preliminary reading of the book's announcement and reviews about it. This will allow you to subconsciously highlight the most important points in the book, which will speed up both reading and assimilation of the material. Having fulfilled these conditions, you will concentrate on the book and get the most out of your reading.

Rule two - Read without speaking.

Do not repeat the text in your head, scientifically it is called subvolication. Subvolication is the repetition of what has been read either in the head or out loud. The main reason why it is worth abandoning this method is that this method significantly slows down the speed of perception of the text. It is necessary to get rid of such a habit, do not repeat sentences or parts of it in your head. After "defeating" this habit, reading will become many times faster and more enjoyable. The brain will memorize what it reads much better. It will also be useful to read our article on the topic “7 Tips on How to Read Books Correctly”.

Rule three - Global assessment of what is written.

Concentrate and highlight the main thing in the text, do not waste your attention on secondary things. Moreover, it is important to learn to concentrate on several main phrases at the same time. One of the secrets of answering the question "how to quickly read a book?" is the ability to perceive any text as separate information constructions. You do not need to analyze every word or sentence - the brain will process the parts you have highlighted and, at the output, give a complete picture of what the author of the book or article wanted to convey to the readers.

Rule four - Bookmarks.

It would seem an insignificant trifle, however, by making bookmarks, you significantly reduce the time to search for the place from which you interrupted reading. Any suitable item at hand, such as a ruler, a pen, even an ordinary sheet of paper, can act as a bookmark. Also, in order to speed up the process of finding the place where you left off, you can make notes with a pencil directly in the text. Using a bookmark while reading will also speed up the process by allowing you to focus on the line being read.

Rule Five - Constant Practice.

In reading, as well as in everything, in order to achieve something, training is needed. Start your speed reading skills development with simple books, for example, with stories, because they have a small volume and one storyline. Read, read and read again, not forgetting the basic rules, and very soon you will be pleasantly surprised by your skills. Speed \u200b\u200breading will become commonplace for you, will save time, increase the volume of your knowledge, and soon you will understand how to quickly read any texts, while delving into them

3 effective ways to learn to read and memorize quickly

In order to learn how to quickly read and memorize information for a long time, you need to understand the principles by which our memory works. Remember 3 basic definitions: impressions, associations, repetition. For example, you are about to read a very interesting book and you want to memorize it without missing out on almost anything.

How can this be achieved? Use our methods:

First - Impression

If you emotionally “feel” the book, you will remember a lot more. While reading, imagine the events described in your head, try to feel the emotions that the heroes of the book are experiencing. Imagine that you are one of the characters in the book. Create in your head a complete picture of what is happening, manage your impressions. It is with the help of this that the maximum amount of information will be deposited in your memory, and at the same time you will be able to read quickly.

Second - Associations

Many people know about the association method and this is not unreasonable, since it is extremely effective. It is based on comparing what you read with something you have experienced, drawing parallels with your life. This technique of memorizing the text works with a bang. After all, you see, it is very easy to understand and comprehend something new if you compare it with what is so familiar and understandable.

Third - Repetition

Even from school, we knew that in order to learn a verse, we would need to repeat its lines many times. The same scheme works with books. If you have stories and stories that you enjoy, then to learn them better, you need to come back to them, look at them, and reread them more often. This way you better keep their plot and sense of the story in your head.

So, you have read all the useful instructions and rules that will help you learn to speed reading. But remember: the main thing is not how fast you absorb books, but what mark it leaves in your soul. After all, books are the best investment in yourself. You are not only what you eat, but also what you read. Learn to do it efficiently, meaningfully, and soon you will see great results.
