Your Fifth Speed Reading Secret is here!

How would you like to know the secret techniques to master different types of reading?

Well, that’s EXACTLY what I’m here to show you today!

Are you just reading for pleasure?  Do you need to study? Are you reading to develop a new skill?

Here is a quick reference guide to how YOU can get the most out of your reading experience by using a few simple guidelines.

PLEASURE READING
Do not skim or review the materials.  Simply read at a
comfortable rate.

HOBBY AND SPECIAL INTEREST
Perform a short skim, and review.  Spend the majority of the time reading.

STUDYING
Spend about half the time reading and half the time skimming and reviewing materials.

Do NOT over-read.  Read once though a chapter at your best comprehension speed, (highlight areas of confusion by placing a light pencil mark next to them – but do NOT stop at this point) then skim and review the materials.  Lastly, return to the areas that require a more in depth analysis and work through them.

MAXIMUM POTENTIAL READING
Spend 70% of your time reviewing materials, and 10% skimming. Only read 20% of the time.  Use the reading skills that you’ve learnt in this article to locate key information. Place your emphasis on taking notes and studying.

Your Fourth Speed Reading Secret!

Today I’m going to show you an *exciting* part of any speed reading program.

It’s called skimming.  Although it doesn’t actually involve ‘reading’ in the traditional sense of the word, it DOES allow you to experience some of the thrill of rapidly devouring vast amounts of information at blistering speeds.

If you are able to, it is always best to ‘skim’ any book before you read it. (Whether you will be reading it at high speed or normal speed)

When you are skimming, what you are really looking for is the format of the book you will be reading.

It helps to give you visual clues to what you can expect and it allows you to compensate for some of those challenges.

At this point, let me take a moment to define what my definition is of skimming.

The process of skimming is nothing but the exercise of going through the ENTIRE book you plan to read (or speed read) at a rate of about TWO to THREE SECOND PER PAGE – MAXIMUM!

When you skim, here are some of the details that you are looking for:

* Font and type sizes used

* The presence or absence of chapters

* The presence or absence of columns

* The presence or absence of headings/sub-headings

* Parts of the book

* Diagrams and pictures

* Any unusual or helpful features

Armed with the information that you acquire from skimming, you will be amazed at how DRAMATICALLY it influences your reading speed,  even without using some of the other speed reading technology out there.
