Speed reading seems like a hard thing to do but it is not all that complicated or hard. Like with everything, you need to practice for good results. Again some hard myths about reading exist, and can be summed up as , Reading is linear; True reading is word-for-word ,Reading is a laborious task which takes a long time ,All parts of a book are of equal value Reading faster will reduce retention.

For myself, I noticed that when reading I kept skipping back to a certain word in a sentence.

Sometimes rereading a whole sentence. Tremendous speed improvement after I used my index finger as a guide. We all learned reading by sounding out words and making sentences with those words, speed reading relies more on concepts per minute than a word or sentence. You can pre-scan a book for the main ideas, and perhaps the only idea in a book where the other chapters are just filler. Good luck on your Speed Reading adventures.May the speed be with you.
