Reading Fast and Increasing Comprehension

Reading fast can also help to increase your comprehension if one can fulfill the following conditions.


  1. Read the material that meet your level of language proficiency.
  2. Read and never lose your wonder in seeking meaning. Read with a purpose, follow the argument/s or story plot/s not the details.
  3. Have fun in reading, time your reading if you have a clock around. By reading faster, one can make the reading process more challenging. Reading fast can also keep you awake because you must concentrate more.
  4. Use a pencil tip to help your eyes scan the text in phrases, and always move forward as fast as as possible.
  5. Speed up your reading by practise reading, reading, and reading. Progressively learn to see and comprehend more and more words ( i.e. from 3 to 10 words) at a time.
  6. Target yourself to read at an average speed of 200 words per minute to a more advanced speed of 800 wpm.
  7. Seek professional help if you find the suggestions can't help you.
