Speed Reading: Lesson 5

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.
