Many
online and traditional students wish to improve their personal reading skills. They
indicate that they read slowly and often have to re-read. Actually a
little-known method to improve reading skills calls for reading faster for
better comprehension. At first it seems counter-intuitive, but it does make
sense.
Your brain can process approximately 100x the speed slower readers read. So when we read slowly, our minds have time to wander off on tangents and we lose our concentration--and find ourselves re-reading.
When we read just a bit faster, we have to concentrate more on the information and we have less time to get off track. Does that make sense?
Try reading faster when you read fairly easy material like a newspaper or magazine. Push yourself to read faster and see if you can develop the habit.

Has anyone tried this? Would you be willing to? Let me know what you think.
