Develop your reading speed!

Let’s look at how the speed reading techniques which are quite useful for college and university level students.

Pre-reading helps you to essentially separate the wheat from the chaff before you begin reading. This is that concept of doing a quick overview read of a document to determine what the big ideas or important concepts are. This ensures that when you go through for a speed read, you’re able to discern quickly which part is important and which part is not.

When you consider your reading materials, you ensure that you speed read the proper documents. As we discussed in this lesson, not all reading materials are appropriate for speed reading techniques. Before you begin speed reading anything, you should ensure that the material is appropriate for speed reading. Some examples of material that aren’t appropriate for speed reading include anything that you read for pleasure.

Re-reading is a concept that many of us employ when we read normally, but experts have discovered that re-reading serves no real purpose, and if you employ speed reading techniques properly you will have no reason to re-read your document. So learning to discontinue re-reading can help you to increase your reading speed.

Subvocalizing can greatly cut into your reading speed. It’s important to learn to stop subvocalizing, because that little voice that reads the words to you in your head, or the mouth that moves with the words, greatly slows down your reading speed. When you learn to stop subvocalizing and just use your eyes to connect with the words, you greatly increase your reading speed.

Reading with your hand helps you to train your eyes to move left to right as quickly as your finger can. If you get very good at speed reading you might be able to keep up with your finger even when it moves very quickly over a line of text, but the goal is to increase your reading speed by training your eyes to follow that finger as it moves under a line of text. If you move your finger just slightly faster than you think you can read, you’ll challenge your eyes and your mind to keep up and this will increase your reading speed as well.

Reading blocks of text instead of reading word-by-word ensures that you not only read text quickly, but that you comprehend that text as well. While most of us learned to read word-by-word or sentence-by-sentence, reading blocks of text helps us to instead focus on the main picture and not the specific words or sentences.

Tuning out distractions is essential if you’re going to increase your reading speed. Speed readers know that they must provide themselves with a quiet space, or fabricate a quiet space if they aren’t in one. This means learning to mentally tune out distractions, but also make use of things that might help you do that, like ear plugs.

We wish you luck on your speed reading journey. May the speed be with you.

10 Ways to Raise Your Energy and Help Change the World

By Iain Legg / Creator of The Super Mind Evolution System

1. DON'T give away your power to people. Take responsibility for your life. If things aren't going as hoped in your life, re-examine your deepest beliefs. Swap limiting beliefs for empowering ones.

2. DO get a pet! According to Power vs Force, a purring cat vibrates at 500 ...my pet dog Cass must vibrate at least 800 with her loving licks and devotion! (She is nicknamed 'Licky' by my friends!)

3. DON'T watch movies that drag you down. According to Power vs Force, this is most films. Watch movies that will make you feel good. Listen to music that fills you with positive emotions. Read books that empower you. (Control the input to your brain, and you'll control your output).

4. DO focus on what you want in your life, not what you don't want - remember the law of attraction... You have the power to create the life of your dreams - even if the world around you seems messed up, don't lose focus...

5. DO imagine that what you dream of is in your life now, and feel grateful for it now ...and after that think of 10 more things to be grateful for.

6. DO have fun. Life is about being happy. Don't wait until you have this, or that... Don't put off happiness. Live now. Enjoy now.

7. DO seek to discover the truth about the meaning of your life. The answers are there if you look for them. Awareness and peace of mind are high vibrations.

8. DO use tools and strategies to help you achieve higher levels of consciousness, such as meditation and the free Alpha audio you can access at the end of this article

9. DON'T watch the news on television. It is filled with negativity which lowers your vibrations. (Why is 95% of all news all the time focused on bad news...). If you want to keep abreast of current affairs search the internet for independent, unbiased news. Seek the truth. Trust your intuition. This will also help you give you a much more balanced view of reality. There's lots of good news out there if you're looking for it...

10. DO help other people. Join activist sites like Avaaz.org that collect petitions to help humanity. Forgiveness, compassion and understanding are good vibrations. Maybe even learn to spread love and heal people from a distance with the power of your mind.
