10 Days To Faster Reading -
is the result of America’s number one speed reading expert teaming up with The Princeton Language Institute. Over the span of ten days, it encourages you to run various reading experiments, so you can figure out which bad reading habits you have to let go of, which good ones will help you and what reading techniques you’ve already mastered.
Here are 3 lessons to help you become a better reader:
1-Don’t just read everything, be picky and ask some questions first.
2-Preview everything you read.
3-Focus on important keywords to grasp sentences without reading them.
Lesson 1: Be restrictive with what you read by asking these two questions.-
Just like true productivity doesn’t mean doing everything, but doing it faster, being a prolific reader doesn’t mean reading everything that lands in front of you.The easiest way to read more is to read less of the stuff you don’t need to. Reading is food for the mind and just like a good diet requires you to take responsibility for what you put in your mouth, you’ll also have to stand up for what you put in your brain.
The authors suggest you ask yourself two crucial questions before ever reading anything longer than a tweet:
1-Why am I reading this?
2-Why do I need the information that’s in here?
Lesson 2: Subject everything you’re about to read to a preview, it might be enough.-Just like you don’t have to read everything that ends up in your hands, you don’t have to read everything that’s in whatever you do decide to read.Here’s how: Read the title, foreword and text on the back flap, followed by skimming the index. Then, leaf through the chapters and look at the headings and subheadings. Read the first sentence of paragraphs or chapters that seem interesting.
Lesson 3: Focus on important keywords to grasp sentences without reading them-
You could look at the entire lesson above and instantly tell me what its core takeaway is, without reading a single sentence.
Why is that?
Because I’ve bolded the most important keywords. Just by taking a glimpse at the paragraph above, you’d instantly recognize that looking at title, foreword, back flap text and index give you a great preview of a book.
Usually, our eyes jump around while reading, but by following a constant stream of keywords, you can read more fluently. These keywords are often longer than three letters and carry the meaning of the sentence.
This is easier in texts with highlighted parts (like this summary), but with a little training you can employ this method even without particular visual guidance.
