W hen we are born into this world, as babies to growing kids we learn how to walk, talk and then at age 5 to 7 we start learning how to read. This is just the beginner level for us. Our reading level increases as we get older and as we practice more. We develop a large vocabulary and deeper understanding of language over the years. An adult reads about 200 words per minute on average unlike a college student that reads about 325 words per minute. So as you can see, reading is something that you can work on and improve on. Students, who master speed reading, can feel better and is under less pressure when it is exam period and they have a lot to read. Everything in this book is just not about speed reading there are right ways to seat when you are reading and typing. If you are reading in an uncomfortable position, there is no way you will end up finishing what you are reading. Also if your mind is not prepared or your eyes feel tired you cannot enjoy your reading. Also there is a correct way to move your eyes when reading that will enable you to read faster. Speed reading is not just about who finish reading a book first. But it is also about understanding the content of that book so that when you are asked a question on it, you will be able to answer.

S itting with the right leg height

When sitting in a chair for an extended period of time, it is important that blood circulation to your legs continues. The proper way to sit is to make sure your thighs are parallel to the floor when your lower legs are perpendicular to the floor. To explain better, the blood supply in your legs should not be cut off by your front seat. A little foot platform comes in handy when you need to have your seat higher than other wise permissible.

Sitting back with proper neck, shoulder and upper back support

Supporting your neck and shoulder as you read is very important it is very important to support your neck and shoulders as you read. Hunching forward is almost guaranteed to cause neck and back pain and reduce your focus, concentration and the amount of time you can read. The proper approach is to sit back with your neck and shoulders supported. This means you are sitting against support just past the vertical position. You will note that your relaxed line of vision rises up when you do this. This is why E-Tool has the book raised up, so as to match your new, relaxed line of vision, now that you are sitting with proper neck and back support. Your seat and the back of your chair should be cushioned.

Head Tilt

Bending your head down to read is not advisable because it cause a lot of stress on your neck. The height of the E-tool should be set properly for your seat so that you can be able to raise or lower it.

Elbows

Raising your elbows up to type in an uncomfortable way is not recommended because it will cause a lot of stress on your shoulders. Normally you are supposed to rest your elbows on side rests or arms so that the weight of your arms is taken off the shoulders.

Forearms

Typing with your forearms below your arm rests can be very uncomfortable. To avoid this, place your extended keyboard or laptop on a small pillow on your lap if you are sitting in an armchair. Do not type with your forearms below your armrests. This will allow you to use the armrests and type with level forearms. Your mouse can rest on a small side table. You can quickly place the keyboard or laptop on this side table or main table if you need to get up.

Lumbar support

Support your lumbar area by using a small pillow or bend in the back of your chair. If not, you are going to have pain when you are reading or typing. One easy and quick way a person can improve their reading concentration is to remove physical discomfort when reading. Also, typing notes as you read greatly increases concentration and comprehension.

R eading is a linear process, you start from the front and read through to the very end in the exact order the material is printed in. Reading is not a backbreaking task that takes time. Reading can be fun and fast. Think of speed reading like a car race only that it is more exciting. Most people believe that all part of a book is of equal value well that is what a writer will want people to believe. For example, you are listening to an audio recording of something and the person speaking spends a great deal of time explaining and elaborating on something you already understand, the next thing for you to do is to fast forward it. In reading you can also do that.

GETTING READY TO READ

There are a few steps to take first when you are getting ready to read:

Eliminate all distractions

Start by getting rid of things that will distract you music, TV, cellphones, uncomfortable seat etc. Some people claim to read better with music. But I tell you that as far as there is some else occupying your mind apart from the material you are about to study, you will never study better. If you are serious about reading, eliminate any background noises or distractions.

What is my purpose?

It may be better to know the reason you are studying a particular material so that your interest in reading will boost up. Before you start reading, ask yourself what you hope to gain by reading this, what type of material are you reading? Is it fiction or non-fiction? Are you just reading for fun? When you start reading, do not rush the entire process take your time as you will take your time to savour a delicious meal taking little bites to enjoy the meal better. If you are reading to know the terms, dates in the material take your time to learn them because that is the purpose of you reading that material. Or maybe you are planning to teach that book to someone take your time to understand each chapter in that book. Before you open the book, take a minute to state your purpose to yourself. It will largely determine how you read the book from then on.

Make use of your peripheral vision when reading

Just like you go to the gym to develop and train your muscles, you can also train your mind to use eye gate to take a broader amount of information. Like for example, try pretending there is a line right down the middle of this page and you are following the line. Instead of reading left to right across the lines. If you have enough practice, your mind will be trained to read on both sides of the page, even though your eyes are on the center line. To practice, you can draw lines down on a page of a book until you master the skill with the invisible line. Just as you see both sides of the road when you are driving a car, let your mind soak in the information on the page without you looking directly at the page.

Learn to read KEY WORDS

It is important that you learn to read the keywords in a page about 40-60% of words on a page are not critical or important for you that if you used a whiteout to take out these words, you will still get sense of what that page is talking about. So that means if you can figure out the keywords, you can just scan past the other words and your mind can fill in the blanks. Train your mind to try and figure out these keywords and you will add more speed to your reading.

Take breaks

Yes you can take breaks while reading research shows that steady reading hour after hour is less efficient. But taking a five minute break every hour is more rewarding. Try reading 100 pages at first in the next hour and then after that have a cookie or sandwich to reward yourself when you have reached your goal.
