Advanced Speed Reading Techniques to Finish that Book Quickly Today!!!

Metronome can be used as an advanced reading tool. It can help to maintain your reading at higher speeds. Metronome can be used in two ways for speed reading. Tell us if you know any new effective uses of metronome in the comments below-              

 Metronome with visual aid (a pencil) can be used to maintain reading speed start from 90 words per minute to as high as 900 words per minute. For every beat, fixate your eyes on few words (say 3 or 4) and recognize those words (do not sub-vocalize), recognize and understand the meaning. For the next beat, move to the next pair of words and understand their meaning as well. In this way, a good relaxing rhythm is established for speed reading.

                Next advanced Reading technique is the use of Visual Aid. Visual aid can be a pen, pencil or any pointer. Try to find out the pointer that best suits you. I use my mom’s weaving stick most of the time. Hehe. Though a pen is recommended.                                           

        

      Visual aid helps to let you better concentrate and focus by letting you read actually faster. To do this effectively, Visual aid should be moved smoothly. For each line, It must start from 3^rd or 4^th words from the beginning of the line as your peripheral vision gets in the words already.it must end before 1 or 2 words from the ending of the line.

             

   Follow these lest you should get stuck always. Just joking. You are smart I know.
