3 musts to increase reading speed

On your way to become a speed reader there are at least 3 musts to increase reading speed. Once you are ready for a speed reading practice there is a need to make sure all conditions, internal and external are meant to allow you to do it. Here are some advices to let you create your speed reading procedure comfortably and with no interruptions.

Focus yourself and eliminate all distractions possible

Mental quietness

Are you mentally quiet and ready for mental exertion? If yes then start speed reading. Are you tensed, distracted by other thoughts? What I do every morning is running.  Not much, about 25 minutes. Then I do some kung fu exercises and meditation. For me it works great and allows me being focused the rest of my day, even when there is lots of work to do and I have to be very focused all day long.

I’m aware that for many people having a quiet mind is not their top priority so exercising 90 minutes a day is not an option. But when we say that there are 3 musts to increase reading speed the path has been signed. Now, what about 20? 30? Do what you like: Yoga, Jogging, swimming, meditating… do what that works for you. Just make your interior conditions quiet and capable to read really fast.

Physical needs

Are you thirsty or Hungry? If you are remember that the forces within yourself that object to your wish of acquiring new capacities such as reading much faster are strong and will look for reasons to slow you and stop you. There for just give them the respect they deserve, not more not less. Eat enough so you won’t be hungry during reading, not too much so you won’t get sleepy. Drink hot or cold beverage to refresh yourself.

External conditions

Are there any noises around? Is your seat comfortable? Is the light strong enough but not too much so to flash into your eyes? Are there noises that might distract your attention? Is the door closed and anyone can get in and interrupt?

Have yourself a comfortable seat, good warm light, no music unless helps you to avoid extraction, closed door.

Five Breakable Speed Reading Myths

To read fast,

being a real speed reader,

means to develop in yourself abilities

such as photo reading.

And it completely contradicts the way

you were taught to accumulate

and elaborate information.

>>>> 4th means “it’s all or nothing”.

So tell me please,

how many times in your life

have this attitude worked for you?

Let me tell you, it just never work!

The brain,

like any other thing

in the human structure,

behaves as a muscle.

It needs time and training to grow,

develop, acquire itself bigger volume,

new movements’ possibilities,

new automatic series of movements

in different directions leading to a specific goal,

ranges of motion, new opened fields

of freedom.

The brain needs training,

training takes time and effort

to affect this group of muscles,

this unknown complexity called our brain.

If you really want to improve yourself you must then

let go of this stressing feel, always pushes you

on and on saying: “it’s all or nothing”.

My master of 3D reading,

this method that

combines different techniques

of speed reading, together with photo reading

and all these under a system

called “La Pedagogia Per Il Terzo Millenio”

meaning the pedagogy for the 3rd millennium

education system.

He keeps telling me

“slowly, consistently, graduali”.

By watching the amount of

the things this person,

Patrizio Paoletti,

is doing

at the same time,

I understand this way

I can conquer every summit,

and if I can, you can,

since we are all

humans.

>>>>> 5th has started for me thirty two years ago,

on my first day at school. Luckily my brain was

as fresh and soft as a package of butter,

a loaf of warm bread,

I got into the class,

set down and

after a while

the teacher started

showing us, bunch of

young seven years old children,

strange new signs that she called ‘The Letters’.

Even as young and fresh as I’ve been

at that age it took me a while

to learn these letters.

And from then on

I kept on reading the same way:

gathering letters to words, to sentences,

to paragraphs… and that I did until at thirty two years of age

I found myself studying this miraculous 3D reading method.

Then I got to know that the only reason I read until now

so slowly, just around 350 words per minute,

is because this is what I was taught.

It is definitely not the only

reading method and

after I thank god

I met this reading method,

I ask myself why weren’t I taught

to speed read in an early age?

How much useless time I spent

during 16 years of school-high school-university?

What big things I could have done using that time?

So for me it’s a kind of self mission,

to let people know this opportunity exists!

It is alive. So don’t be afraid, just come.

Do it now, as long as the possibility is around.

First myth might prevent you

from increasing your speed reading,

comprehension ability, or even some nice exercise.

>>

This one whispers in your ear

that you don’t even need any improvement;

it says that when reading a book

using standard reading you understand all of it.

100%!

Hey!

And what about the many times

you arrived to the end of the page

and realized you know nothing

of what you have just read?

What about all the distractions

you experience and

don’t even remember its occurrences?

What about the thoughts running in your head?

The associations and emotions that connect

you to other things on your schedule

that will ever happen?

I can assure you,

make yourself used to pay attention

to these mental processes

and you will pave yourself

an excellent path for

increasing your

speed reading!

>>>

The 2nd one says, shouts, mumbles,

prayes for your attention.

It communicates

with your less conscious

parts’ attention;

it knows

the game’s rules better and play to lose.

Using every convincing tone

it tempts you to understand that simply,

you can’t.

It will remind you

all the many times you failed,

and will underline it time and time again.

Depends on your type of person,

this one might be your

greatest enemy,

an opponent that seldom sleeps.

Watch it carefully,

listen to it and embrace it.

Tell him again and again

that same thing:

“give me just one minute and I’m done”.

>>>>

3rd comes in the name of

self tradition and habits.

It says:

reading takes a lot of time!

It’s hard, laborious and slow.

Your ability to contain this

depends on your need

and will to read much faster.

If you insist,

you will find many ways to resist it.

You will look all the time at the horizon,

watching the field of opportunities

that are waiting for you.

This is not a simple task,

to create this belief in you.

brilliant simple acceleratd reading excercise

This is the second part of the Kris Manon video’s rewriting. Here he shows the proper reading technique and is tutoring how to increase reading speed:

YouTube Preview Image

Alright, let’s give our example or try now. What we are going to do, we’re going to read through this using the technique I just taught you and I have twenty words so as you read them you’re going to say to yourself AEIOU. Now if you can read these two sentences in one second it means that you read about twelve hundred words per minute. That means you can finish the catcher in the rye in about ten minutes. Now, normal people will take about nine maybe ten seconds to read this, because you read “the dog chased after the cat. They ran around town all day long, and never stopped chasing after one another.”  But if you’re using the accelerating reading technique that I’ve taught, you should be able to look at this and take it all at once and see the entire picture and not a series of words but you should actually be able to see the dog chasing after the cat and them chasing each other all around town throughout the rest of the day. And that should be a picture rather than a series of words. And once you get to that step you’re reading for pleasure will be much more enjoyable. Any text for school or any text for work will be much more easy to understand because reading in accelerated rate contain the information and challenges you and you won’t do any dazing off or sleeping off. And you’ll just know the information right away. That concludes part of the accelerated reading. Thank you!

I liked this part even better than the first. It is short, clear and quite brilliant. I like to watch brilliant people explaining simply how to do something they have created or practiced for a long time. In my opinion it is fascinating to see how this really advanced technique that involves brilliance, self discipline and impressive mental order is submitted in such an easy manner that simply teaches through demonstration how to increase reading speed. Well guys, speed reading has never been so available, it really is time to take things seriously and learn to make your reading much, much faster. I’m sure you can do it, so just go and do it.

Useful 3 min speed reading technique video

Hi, that is a precious video I saw in Youtube that really teaches how to increase reading speed. It shows a very interesting reading technique, one from the speed reading family.

I hope you enjoy this, please tell me in the comments how did you like it and also, if you can, did you study from it something to improve your reading.

So, the rewriting is for people who have hearing problems or don’t have the right equipment to hear from the computer. This is part one’s rewrite, enjoy the ride:

Hello my name is Kris Manon and I’m going to be taking you through the first part of our accelerated reading series. The goal of this exercise right now is going to be to help you read faster in home and hopefully get you through your books you been looking to read for a while. All right, so here is how reading works for the average reader. First what happens is that the eye sees the word “fish”’ ok? It sees the word “fish” and then sends a signal down into the brain- that voices the word “fish”. Even if you don’t say it out loud your brain? Is still going to produce the word and then from there the signal is going to transfer to your brain and then going to come up to the picture of the fish and that’s how we read. Now the average person reads to 125 to 250 words per minute. That’s average. If you read any higher than this level you’re actually reading not with your brain but with your eyes. So your eyes are taking in words such as “the”’ or “a”’ or “it’s” or “is” and transfer them straight over the brain. So what we can do to increase our speed from 125 – 250 to 500-1000 words per minute is by using this exercise. The exercise is really simple and all you do is take a page of text and while you’re reading you take your frain out of the equation by voicing a simple sound such as AEIOU or 12341234 and you just do this… regret that you’re not going to get any comprehension in this section by doing this. By practicing it over time you’ll notice that the comprehension level will go up while you’re enjoying reading and in other texts that you’re studying as well.  O.k., that’s all for our accelerated reading today.

How did you like this part? I listened carefully to the video but apparently missed some words; I’d like to get your remarks for that if possible, thanks! Later I had a brief reflection and I realized many of the readers don’t speed read yet, so I cut it into two parts, so it won’t be too long for those of you guys, who have not dived yet into this sweet water of speed reading and more advanced techniques such as 3D reading and photographic reading.
