Don’t worry, you will not only learn how to read faster but also how to understand faster and remember easily. That’s what I call smart learning, so let’s make you a smart learner!.

CHOOSE A DISTRACTION-FREE ENVIRONMENT

By doing this, you are sure of focusing on reading only which increases your reading speed and rate at which you assimilate what you read. If you read in an environment full of distraction, you will end up wasting time trying to eliminate unnecessary distractions which could have been avoided.

SET A TARGET

This is a way to keep you determined while reading. Tell yourself, I want to finish this book in 2hours. By doing this, you will be motivated till you complete the book.

USE THE SMART READING ROUTINE

How?, before you start reading the book in full, make sure you:

Read the table of content first.
Then, read the questions at the end of the chapter and answer them to the best of your ability.
Followed by the introductory paragraph of the chapter.
Read the title of all sub-divisions or sub-topics of the chapter.
And finally, read the closing paragraphs of the chapter.

By following the above routine, you already have an idea of:

What you are about to learn.
What you are expected to know.
Important and key points in the text.

These ideas will help to keep your reading at the highest pace and maximum effectiveness.

READ FOR KEY DETAILS

You want to read faster, you have to read to obtain the important details only. Neglect unnecessary details this time. You have to be picky but smart while reading. It is better to read more key details and little or no unnecessary ones that to read few key details and more unnecessary ones.

ENGAGE YOURSELF WITH THE BOOK

While reading fast, it is important to keep yourself engaged so that you don’t just read fast but understand fast. You can engage yourself by taking down notes on important points you come across, by explaining to yourself as you read and by following the concept of the book with your mind.

CONCENTRATE ON READING

Concentration is another important key while reading fast to ensure effectiveness. Concentration is usually 100% at the start but it soon begin to diminish as reading progresses for long hours. How can you maintain 100% concentration while reading for many hours?, simple, read this article.

DON’T TRY TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING YOU READ

You can’t read very fast and at the same time remember everything you have read word-for-word. If you are trying to recall everything you have read, you will end up wasting time. However, you can read fast and still remember everything important details in the book. How? That is why you have to read this article to the end.

READ WITH YOUR MIND AND EYES

Your eyes and mind are the most important tools while reading smartly. Learn how to read by moving your eyes from left to right while your mind remain focused. It looks though as if you are skimming through the content of the book.

DON’T WASTE TIME ON REPEATED DETAILS

This is a mistake you must definitely avoid if you are willing to read the smart way. There is more to learn, so why waste time on the same thing?.

AVOID RE-READING SENTENCES

Surprised?, you shouldn’t be!. Avoid reading again, again or again. When you read a sentence or paragraph in a book, something in you tells you whether it is important or not. If the need arises for you to re-read, ensure you re-read only the important points.

DON’T HIGHLIGHT TOO MUCH

This is the time to minimize the use of your highlighter. Time spent on highlighting texts is enough to study and pass an examination. You only need to highlight few important details or if possible don’t highlight at all.

DON’T READ OUT LOUD

Reading out loud with your mouth is another way to waste valuable time while reading. You spend more time reading with your mouth than with your mind and eyes. Wonder why? You spend more time trying to pronounce every word than when you skim through with your eyes.
