Three important rules to improve the reading speed.
1. Read phrases.
2. Do not vocalize.
3. Do not sub vocalize.
After Class extensional Study:
1. Practice with a newspaper. It's written in columns because that's how wide a vision field the eye can read at one glance. Newspapers are helping you to speed up your reading by using columns. News editorials, on the other hand, are written in paragraphs because you should slow down and spend more time to understand the opinions given. Also, newspapers are written in upside down pyramid style because all you need to do is read the first couple of paragraphs for the basic info and move on. The rest is details. Paragraph one and two, possibly three, contain the 5Ws + How.
Put your index finger in the middle of a column of news writing. Move your finger downwards down the length of the column. Gradually increase your speed as you gain confidence in looking and the entire width of the column and not at individual words.
2. Use the signal words list I passed out at the writing workshop. Memorize when and how they should be used to increase the body of comprehension strategies you are storing up.
