Suggestions for Improving Reading Speed
Improvement of Reading Rate
It is safe to say that almost anyone can double
his or her speed of reading while
maintaining equal or even better
comprehension. In other words, you can improve the
speed with which you get what you want
from your reading.
The average
college student reads between 250 and 350 words
per minute on fiction
and non-technical
materials. A
minute, but some people
can read 1000 words per minute or more on these
materials.
What makes the
difference? There are three main factors involved
in improving
reading speed: (1) the
desire to improve, (2) the willingness to try new
techniques and (3)
the motivation to
practice.
Learning to read rapidly
and well presupposes that you have the necessary
vocabulary
and comprehension skills.
When you have advanced on the reading
comprehension
materials to a level at
which you can understand college-level materials,
you will be
ready to practice speed
reading in earnest.
The Role of Speed
in the Reading Process
Understanding the role of speed in the reading
process is essential. Research shows a
close relation between speed and
understanding -- although it is the opposite of
what you
might expect! Among thousands
of individuals taking reading training, in most
cases an
increase in rate was
accompanied by an increase in comprehension, and a
decrease in rate
答案见麦多课文库
brought decreased comprehension with
it. It appears that plodding
(
单调乏味的
), word-
by-
word analysis inhibits rather than increases
understanding.
Most adults are able
to increase their reading rate considerably and
rather quickly
without lowering their
comprehension. These same individuals usually show
a decrease
in comprehension when they
reduce their rate. Such results, of course, are
heavily
dependent upon the method used
to gain the increased rate. Simply reading more
rapidly
without actual improvement in
basic reading habits usually results in lowered
comprehension.
Factors that
Reduce Reading Rate
The factors
which reduce reading rate are:
?Limited perceptual span
(word
-by-word reading)
?Slow perceptual reaction time (slow
recognition and response to th
e
material)
?Voca
lization (reading
aloud)
?Faulty eye
movements (including inaccuracy in placement of
the page, in return
sweep, in rhythm
and regularity of movement, etc.)
?Regression (needless or unconscious
rereading)
?Faulty habits of a
ttention
and concentration (including simple inattention
during the
reading act and faulty
processes of retention)
?Lack of practice in
reading
-- use it or lose it!
?Fear of losing
comprehension, causing the person to deliberately
read more slowly
?Habitual slow re
ading, in
which the person cannot read faster because he or
she has
always read slowly
?Poor evaluation of which aspects are
important and which are unimportant
?The effort to remember
everything rather than to remember
selecti
vely
Since these
conditions also tend to reduce comprehension,
increasing the reading rate
by
eliminating them is likely to produce increased
comprehension, too. This is entirely
different from simply speeding up the
rate of reading-- which may actually make the real
reading problem more severe. In
addition, forced acceleration may destroy
confidence in
one's ability to read.
The obvious solution, then, is to increase rate as
a part of a total
improvement of the
whole reading process, as special training
programs in reading do.
Basic
Conditions for Increased Reading Rate
A well-planned program prepares for maximum
increase in rate by establishing the
necessary conditions. Three basic
conditions include:
?Eliminate the habit of pronouncing
words a
s you read. If you sound out
words in your
throat or whisper them,
your reading rate is slowed considerably. You
should be able to
read most materials
at least two or three times faster silently than
orally, because you can
get meaning
from phrases without reading each word
individually. If you are aware of
sounding or
ideas as you
force yourself to read faster.
答案见麦多课文库
?Avoid regressing (rereading). The
average student reading at 250 wo
rds
per minute
regresses or rereads about
20 times per page. Rereading words and phrases is
a habit
which will slow your reading
speed down to a snail's pace. Usually, it is
unnecessary to
reread words, for the
ideas you want are explained and elaborated more
fully later.
Furthermore, the slowest
reader usually regresses most frequently. Because
he reads
slowly, his mind has time to
wander and his rereading reflects both his
inability to
concentrate and his lack
of confidence in his comprehension skills.
?Develop a wider
eye
-span. This will help you read more
than one word at a glance.
Since
written material is less meaningful if read word
by word, this will help you learn to
read by phrases or thought units.
Rate Adjustment
Poor
results are inevitable if the reader attempts to
use the same rate for all types of
material find for all reading purposes.
He must learn to adjust his rate to his purpose in
reading and to the difficulty of the
material. The fastest rate works on easy,
familiar,
interesting material or in
reading to gather information on a particular
point. A slower
rate is better for
material which is unfamiliar in content and
language structure or which
must be
thoroughly digested. The effective reader adjusts
his rate; the ineffective reader
always
uses the same rate.
Rate may be
adjusted overall for an entire article, or
internally for parts of an article.
As
an analogy, imagine that you plan to take a
100-mile mountain trip. Since this trip will
include hills, curves, and a mountain
pass, you estimate it will take three hours for
the
total trip, averaging about 35
miles an hour. This is your overall rate
adjustment. In actual
driving, however,
you may stow down to no more than 15 miles per
hour on some curves
and hills, while
speeding up to 50 miles per hour or more on
relatively straight and level
sections.
This is your internal rate adjustment. Similarly,
there is no set rate which the
good
reader follows inflexibly in reading a particular
selection, even though he has set
himself an overall rate for the total
job.
Reading rate should vary
according to your reading purpose. To understand
information, for example, skim or scan
at a rapid rate. To determine the value of
material
or to read for enjoyment, read
rapidly or slowly according to your feeling. To
read
analytically, read at a moderate
pace to permit you to interrelate ideas.
The nature and difficulty of the
material also calls for adjustments in rate.
Obviously,
the level of difficulty
depends greatly on the particular reader's
knowledge. While
Einstein's theories
may be extremely difficult for most laymen, they
would be very
simple and clear to a
professor of physics. Hence, the layman and the
physics professor
will read the same
material at different rates. Generally, difficult
material will entail a
slower rate;
simpler material will permit a faster rate.
Conclusion
In general,
decrease speed when you find the following:
答案见麦多课文库
?Unfamiliar terminology. Try to
understand it in context at that point; otherwise,
read
on and return to it later.
?Difficult sentence and
paragraph structure. Slow down enough to enable
you to
untangle them and get accurate
context for the passage.
?Unfamiliar or abstract concepts. Look
for applications or examples of your own
concepts as well as studying those of
the writer. Take enough time to get them clearly
in
mind.
?Detailed, technical material. This
includes complicated directions, statements of
difficult principles, and materials on
which you have scant background.
?Material
on which you want
detailed retention.
Increase speed
when you meet the following:
?Simple material with few ideas which
are new to you. Move rapidly over the familiar
ones; spend most of your time on the
unfamiliar ideas.
?Unnecessary examples
and
illustrations. Since these are included to clarify
ideas,
move over them rapidly when they
are not needed.
?Detailed explanation and idea
elaboration which you do not need.
?Broad, generalized
ideas and ideas which are restatements of previous
ones. These
can be readily
grasped, even with scan techniques.

even if you don't have enough grammar knowledge.
