Determine why you want to improve your reading speed. Whether it's for academic purposes, or professional development, having a clear objective will motivate you to work towards it.
Find a quiet and comfortable environment where you can focus solely on reading. Minimize distractions such as noise, electronic devices, or interruptions.
Before diving into a text, skim through it quickly to get an overview.
Building a broad vocabulary will help you comprehend texts more easily. When you encounter unfamiliar words, make an effort to look them up and learn their meanings.
Guide your eyes along the lines using your finger, a pen, or a pointer.
Techniques such as chunking, where you read groups of words rather than individual words, can help increase your reading speed.
Vocalization is when you pronounce words silently as you read, while subvocalization is when you move your lips or whisper while reading.
Sit in a comfortable and upright position while reading. Keep your eyes relaxed and move them smoothly across the lines without fixating on individual words.
