If you are an average reader, you can increase your reading speed fifty per cent or more by applying a few scientific principles and shortcuts.

But you may ask, if I read faster won't I get less ou save t of what I read? Not at all. You will increase your power of concentration and thus understand and remember better than you do now.

Here is the technique in a nutshell:

1. Force yourself to read faster, even though at first you miss some of the meaning. Check your reading time per page for light, average and serious reading. Try to cut it down.

2. Read a group of words with a glance, instead of an individual word. You can absorb the phrase, "Jack kissed her" in one glance. Slow readers use three glances unnecessarily. Increase your eye span to the greatest limit possible for you, without strain. (People vary inherently in this capacity. Some geniuses learn to read an entire line or more at a time.)

3. Skim whenever it's practical. Don't feel guilty about skipping unimportant words.

4. Adjust your reading technique to the type of book. If it's light fiction, just breeze through as long as you get the plot. If it's average non-fiction, collect the facts and don't bother with unimportant phrases. However, if it is a book of literary worth, you will have to read more slowly to get the full pleasure and impact of its style and content.

5. Don't fidget. Such nervous habits reduce your power of concentration.

6. Last but not least, keep building your vocabulary. The more words that you understand completely and instantaneously, the faster you will read.
