Be·fore·
you ^
sign
up
to
do ^
a
speed
rea·ding·
course
with
so·meone· ^,
take
some ^
time
to
think
ve·ry·
se·ri·ou·sly·
a·bout·
what
you ^
re·a·lly·
mean
when
you ^
say
you ^
want
to
read
fa·ster· ,
be·cause·
there ^
are
three
di·ffe·rent·
le·vels·
that
your
rea·ding·
speed
can
be
in·creased· .
- The
first
le·vel·
is
spee·ding·
up
the
in·put·
of ^
da·ta·
-
this
means
in·crea·sing·
the
speed
you ^
read
the
words .
There ^
are
a
num·ber·
of ^
phy·si·cal·
and
men·tal·
tech·niques·
that
can
speed
up
the
way
you ^
read
words .
One ^
phy·si·cal·
tech·nique·
is
lear·ning·
to
use
your
eyes
more
e·ffi·cient·ly· ,
so
you ^
read
on·ly·
the
words
you ^
need
to
read ,
in
the
or·der·
that
you ^
need
to
read
them .
O·ther· ^
tech·niques·
in·volve·
such
skills
as
lear·ning·
to
read
i·de·as·
ra·ther·
than
in·di·vi·du·al·
words .
- The
se·cond·
le·vel·
is
spee·ding·
up
the
in·put·
of ^
in·for·ma·tion·
-
this
means
in·crea·sing·
the
speed
at
which
you ^
com·pre·hend·
sen·ten·ces·
and
pa·ra·graphs· .
Once ^
you ^
speed
up
the
in·put·
of ^
words
in·to· ^
your
mind ,
you ^
must
al·so·
in·crease·
the
speed
you ^
com·pre·hend·
those
words .
Re·mem·ber·
that
"read "
re·a·lly·
means
"read
and
un·der·stand· ",
so
rea·ding·
words
fa·ster·
than
you ^
can
com·pre·hend·
them ,
is
a
to·tal·
waste
of ^
time .
- And
the
third
le·vel·
is
spee·ding·
up
the
ge·ne·ra·tion·
of ^
know·ledge·
-
this
in·volves·
both ,
in·crea·sing·
the
speed
that
you ^
com·pre·hend·
things
on
dee·per·
le·vels· ,
and
de·ve·lo·ping·
your
a·bi·li·ty·
to
pro·cess·
com·plex·
in·for·ma·tion· .
To
do ^
this
you ^
need
to
be
a·ble·
to
pro·cess·
the
in·for·ma·tion·
in
a
so·phi·sti·ca·ted·
ma·nner· .
Spee·ding·
up
your
rea·ding·
on
this
le·vel·
means
in·crea·sing·
the
speed
at
which
you ^
a·na·lyse·
the
in·for·ma·tion·
in
your
mind ,
so
that
you ^
can
a·rrange·
it ,
ca·te·go·rise·
it ,
a·ssess·
it
and
so
on .
If
you ^
think
this
is
com·pli·ca·ted·
you ^
are
right ,
but
don't
be
daun·ted· ,
it
is
not
hard
to
read
fa·ster· .
You ^
can
make
sub·stan·tial·
im·prove·ments· ^
in
your
rea·ding·
and
com·pre·hen·sion·
speed
in
just
a
few
le·ssons· .
To
keep
the
course
di·rect·ly·
re·le·vant·
to
you ^,
we
use
your
books
and
ma·te·ri·als·
when
tea·ching·
you ^
the
stra·te·gies·
to
speed
up
your
rea·ding· .
Be·cause·
the
tech·niques·
we
teach
you ^
are
ea·si·er·
to
do ^
than
your
old
tech·niques· ,
once ^
you ^
have
ma·stered·
them ,
you ^
won't
want
to
go
back
to
your
old
me·thods·
a·gain· ^.
It's
like
craw·ling·
and
wal·king· ,
once ^
you've ^
lear·ned·
how
to
walk ,
it's
ea·si·er·
to
move ^
a·round· ,
so
you ^
don't
gra·du·a·lly·
slip
back
in·to· ^
craw·ling· .
