Reading Better and Faster
For most people, it is easy to learn to read faster. Your reading rate is often just a matter of habit.
小題1:
Preview a passage before you actually sit down and read words. You can look over the title of the passage, look at all the headings and subheadings, and look at any pictures or illustrations, charts or graphs.
小題2:
If you have a general idea of what the passage is about before you really read it, you will be able to understand and remember the passage better.
Read in a “questioning” manner—as if you were searching for something.
小題3:
For example, if the heading of a section in the passage is “The causes of the Civil War”, take that title and switch it into a question like: “What are the causes of the Civil?” Now you have a goal; something to look for; something to find out. When you are goal-oriented, you are more likely to reach the goal. At least you’ 11 remember one thing about the passage which you have just read.
Read in thought groups. Studies have shown that when we read, our eyes must make small stops along the line.
小題4:
Not only does this slow you down, but it inhibits comprehension because meaning is easier to pull from groups of words rather than from individual words or even single letters. Try to read in phrases of three or four words, especially in complete clauses and prepositional phrases. Your mind may internalize them as if the whole phrase is like one big meaning-rich word.
小題5:
Poor readers always read at the same slow rate. An efficient reader speeds up for easier material and slow down for the hard. Some things were not meant to be read quickly at all. Legal materials and very difficult texts should be read slowly. Easier materials and magazines and newspapers can be read quickly. Poetry and plays were meant to be performed, and if not acted out, then at least, spoken out loud orally.

| B．You may need to try to change some habits and try some tips. |
| C．Vary your reading rate to suit the difficulty and type of writing of the text.K] |

F. There are some simple methods that you can use to pay better attention to your text.
G. It sometimes helps if you take the heading or title of a chapter and turn it into a question.
