Step 1: Calculate your current baseline reading speed. Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted, and take along a timer or stopwatch and a clearly-printed book on a familiar topic. Mark where you’ll start reading. Set the timer for two minutes and start reading normally. When the two minutes is up, count the number of words you read and divide by two. Write down this number. You’ll find it helpful to know how much your reading speed improves as you practice, so that you can focus on what helps most.
Step 2: Focus on your eyes. Make sure your eyes are in top shape with a visit to an ophthalmologist. Wear any recommended glasses or contacts when reading. Eat a healthy diet containing vision-supporting nutrients like lutein (spinach, kale, collards), omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, walnuts, sardines), and anthocyanins (cherries, blueberries, blackberries).
Step 3: Learn to keep moving forward. A common bad habit of slow readers is backtracking, where the reader automatically goes back to re-read text that has already been covered, whether they need to or not. Learning to concentrate on what you’re reading will help eliminate this problem, as will practicing the technique of sweeping your eyes across and down the page.
Step 4: Practice widening your vision span. Exercise your eyes by gently moving them back and forth and up and down. Your eyes movements are controlled by muscles, and the stronger those muscles are, the quicker you’ll be able to move them. Once you have your eye muscles in shape, practice improving your peripheral vision so that you’re able to take in more than one word at a time.
Step 5: Get organized for optimal reading speed. There are several things you can do to make your reading more efficient, which will increase reading speed. First, get an overview of what you’re reading, and why you’re reading it. Next, keep your mind organized by eliminating distractions. Finally, learn to adjust your reading speed so that it’s appropriate for the text you’re reading.
Keep practicing these five steps, and you’ll soon find your reading speed increasing!
