Chapter 1: What is Speed-Reading?
Speed-reading is a reading technique where the reader goes through a certain text at an elevated speed. As you know, doing things slowly is never a good idea. Be it in your personal life or professional, you have to try and do things as fast as possible in order to make the most of your time and effort.
That aspect of speed is especially pertinent in this day and age where productivity is of utmost importance to anyone and everyone. But you have to understand that speed is not always a good thing. If you are trying to speed things up and compromising on the quality then that is pretty useless. You have to strive to strike a balance between quality and speed and only then will your mission succeed.
In this first chapter of the book, we will understand what speed-reading refers to and you will also have the chance to assess your current reading speed.
Speed-reading, as was mentioned before, refers to reading a text at a fast speed. As you know, all of us have a certain speed at which we read a text. This speed depends on many factors including our old habits, how fast our minds work etc.
Assess your current speed

- Start by choosing a book to read.
- Now use a timer or stopwatch and set 1-minute time.
- Now as soon as the timer starts, you have to start reading from the book.
- You should not be distracted and keep reading until the timer goes off.
- You have to immediately stop even if you have not completed a sentence; place your finger on the word that you read last.
- Now start counting the number of lines that you have read in the 1-minute.
- Next, count the number of words that you have read in the text. It should include all the words including the small ones.
- Now multiply the number of lines that you read with the words per line.
- The number of words that you get is what are your words per minute.
- Now you have to keep checking your words per minute on a weekly basis in order to check your progress.
You have to write down your speed in a book or a journal and look at it from time to time.
