Ways to improve reading speed
First, master the reading scanning method. If you want to read fast, you must read fast. When primary school students start reading, they often point to the words in the book and read them one by one. Of course, it is slow. It is necessary for students to develop the habit of reading words as a whole, learn to scan reasonably, correct bad habits such as word-by-word reading, irregular mouth movement and eye movement during silent reading, and gradually expand students' "visual perception breadth". The "visual perception span" is large, and the average reading speed is faster because of the short gaze time and the few times of looking back in the middle. According to the training experience of tens of thousands of students, we can see that "experienced readers read at least three times as much as novices". There are many ways to train speed reading by "scanning". In addition to using our training software, you can also use cards, slides or personal computers to show phrases, sentences and sentence groups, and ask each student to scan as much as possible before answering. For example, "Comrade Bethune was born in party member and was in his fifties. In order to help China War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he was sent by the Canadian * * * Production Party and the American * * * Production Party, not far from Wan Li, and came to China. " Then ask the students: "Who? What's the matter? Where? What is the reason? Why are you here? " Ask students to recall these sentences, and at the same time make them understand the five elements of narrative, and then master the scanning method in an all-round way, and freely use the whole (paragraph) article for scanning training. Second, master the method of searching books. To improve reading speed, you should have the ability to search quickly when reading. That is, when reading a book, you can quickly find the required article directory, the focus of the article or the part you care about. In the training, students must form the habit of reading purposefully and emphatically, so that they can be good at discovering key points, new problems, new ideas and new materials when reading. This can be trained by abstract methods. Training materials can be reading articles in "short stories" and "reading" training articles. For this kind of article, students are required to grasp the general idea of each paragraph. The most convenient way to grasp the meaning of a paragraph is to grasp the "main sentence", that is, to grasp the sentence that explains the main meaning of the whole paragraph. For example, the first sentence of the fifth paragraph of the article "Great Ideal" says: "The ideal problem is actually a person's world outlook." This is the main sentence. Secondly, students are required to quickly grasp the context of the article. For example, the article Zhu Kezhen, an outstanding scientist, is arranged in logical order. The article shows Comrade Zhu Kezhen's tireless and conscientious revolutionary spirit and earnest and meticulous academic attitude in the process of reaching the peak of science from five aspects. Third, master the speed reading center method. It is to ask students to quickly find the central idea of the books or articles they read in training. Some articles explain the central idea in the title (such as "building a democratic atmosphere"), some point out the central idea at the beginning and end of the article (such as "Talking about Seeking Truth from Facts" and "For the Brothers of Class 61"), while others express the central idea through major events, as long as the central idea can be quickly determined according to major events (such as "Lotus Lake" and "The Struggle against Cutting the poll tax"). Fourth, master the speed reading generalization method. Through fast reading, students are required to clearly read the abstract of a book or an article, and quickly grasp the main content and main idea of the article. Some write a synopsis of the plot (such as "The End of the Tiger Group"), while others write central arguments and sub-arguments (such as "Chinese Studies and Popular Culture"). Some can make charts (such as the appearance of people). Fifth, ask students to extract epigrams (such as "In Memory of Liu Hezhen") and good sentences (such as "Land" and "Ode to Autumn Colors"). These requirements are not necessary for reading every article. According to different reading materials and different characteristics of students, different requirements are put forward. Over time, students can develop correct learning methods and habits and improve reading efficiency. Fifth, master speed reading questioning method. Reading is the same as doing things. If you want good grades, you must have a clear goal and reading direction from the beginning, that is, what you need to know and master from books and what to remember, especially when you are facing exam review or reading, the purpose is more clear. In this way, we can easily form the habit of reading and reviewing texts with questions, which often gets twice the result with half the effort. Mr. Ye Shengtao once said, "No matter what kind of books you read, you should remember what you should remember. Those who experience the experience and study the research must always recognize several problems-you can also call them topics." People who are good at reading will naturally ask some questions and topics when reading. When cultivating speed reading ability, you can ask some questions for students to answer quickly after reading. For example, when teaching "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth", we can ask: Why is the only criterion for testing truth social practice? Students should quickly find a passage in the book as an answer: "This is because countless facts in the history of science have fully explained this problem." These questions should be thoughtful, and students should be able to answer them after thinking. In addition to tips, students can certainly be rewarded if they can put forward themselves. But whether it is valuable or not, it must be valued and guided by teachers. The content of some articles can be summarized by writing some topics. For example, the article "Great Ideal" can make up a series of questions: What is ideal? Why are ideals social and class? What is a great ideal? Why is it that realizing capitalism is our noblest and greatest ideal? You can also read a special topic in the third year of high school. The teacher will give you a special topic, so that students can find reference books to answer after reading it, cultivate students' habit and ability of "choosing reading", and also improve reading speed. For example, the teacher arranges students to find some materials to explain "eye hygiene" and "politeness". In a word, reading speed is related to visual perception breadth, readers' experience and knowledge, thinking ability, reading habits and methods, and age characteristics. To cultivate students' speed reading and memory ability, we must read, recognize and remember quickly, and work hard on "knowing, being skillful and being familiar".
