Question 2

List

Tips to tackle bad reading habits (for speedreading)

Answer 2

1. Try to tackle habits individually in order to reduce or eliminate them.
2. Skim and scan before you read. Use linear and cross-shaped hand pacing patterns.
3. While scanning, look for unfamiliar words and deliberately subvocalize them.
4. This will help reduce the temptation to subvocalize them later.
5. Count numbers, sum a melody or chew gum to reduce subvocalization.
6. Resist going back in text. You will not miss important facts.
7. Discipline your eyes. Train them to read smoothly from left to right.
8. Practice, practice, practice. You have to practice speed reading to get good at it. The more you train yourself, the more natural it will feel.
