It is also a good idea to force your fingers to read faster. One advantage of moving our fingers quickly is that it can help us concentrate, because reading is static, and if we are reading, we will be very easily attracted to attention. This is human instinct, and we can't control it. However, if finger movements are used to attract eye movements, it will help to improve attention. Through finger movement, we can also speed up our reading speed very effectively. The finger movement speed is higher than the usual reading speed, so long-term practice can effectively improve our reading speed.
Broaden your horizons and read more words at once. Here is an exercise method. Take a small card and quickly cover a paragraph we have read, forcing us to look only at the middle of that paragraph. In this way, because we look at this line of words for too short a time, we can only look at the rest of this line through the corner. Such a long practice will effectively help us read quickly.
Reading with questions is more efficient. Just like reading a novel, if we read too slowly, it is easy to get distracted. But if we read with questions and think about the meaning behind the author's words, are we paving the way for the following words, so that we can interact with the words and concentrate more easily. Accepting questions also helps us to improve our reading speed. Our brains process information very quickly. If reading is slow, then other things will occupy our thoughts.
It is also important to grasp your own rhythm. You should be fast and slow. The purpose of reading is to learn knowledge. If we blindly pursue speed, our memory of what we read will be greatly reduced. For this speed, we should also have our own classification standards, such as short stories read on the bus and news watched while waiting in line. At this time, you need to read quickly. But when we read professional books in the library, or read famous books or difficult philosophical articles, this kind of reading requires us to chew slowly and savor carefully.
Don't feel guilty about what you haven't finished reading. Many times I feel this way myself. I feel that when I read a book because of time, I only read what I need. I feel that I have failed the author and failed to grasp the main idea of the author. Actually, it's like chatting with friends. You two talked all afternoon yesterday. We can't repeat everything when we meet today, but we can still remember the main points we said yesterday. The same is true of reading. Don't think that we can't understand the author's meaning through fast reading. In fact, we can fully understand the contents of the book through fast reading.
