Whether you need (e.g., you are a student or otherwise have deadlines on reading) or simply want to have the ability to read and understand more quickly, learning speed reading is the way to go. Not everyone thinks that reading is a skill that can be improved in this way, but like any other skill, practice is the key. Almost anyone can learn to speed read, it is merely a matter of finding a technique which is effective for them.

First, think about any book that you've read recently. Were all parts of the book equally engaging, or were there bits that were seemed less interesting. While we are told in school that we need to read every part of the book, this is only partially true. Be aware that most books have bits of filler, connecting information, meanderings, illustrations and tangents, and learn to recognize them. When you can identify a segment of your reading material as more superfluous, you'll find that your speed increases without forcing your comprehension to suffer.

Inference is another valuable subskill of speed reading. If you read the line 'Even a stopped clock', you know it is likely to be followed by 'is right twice a day'. You can skip past these things easily once you are in the habit of spotting them. A lot of smaller words can be passed over as well without losing the context. Keep practicing this skill, it is one of the most valuable in the arsenal of a speed reader.

One easy way to start speed reading is to lay a finger under the first line of text on the page and start moving it down. You'll find that your eyes want to stay with your finger, 'hurrying' along the words in order to keep up. You can start this fairly slowly, but remember to keep speeding it up so that you keep improving. This is a great method that even small children can use You'll find that when you use this technique, you can easily modulate the speed that you read at.

Take some time to think about all the benefits that you can get from speed reading. For instance, the human brain is set up to study in 20 minute bursts. When you speed read, you can fit more information in during the first valuable 20 minutes of your studying. You'll be able to process information more quickly and you'll be able to work toward good response time and staying organized and on top of things.

Speed reading is far to valuable of a skill to be ignored. Take a little time and begin learning about what speed reading techniques can do for you.
