“Speed reading can provide several benefits for some people, especially in increasing reading
speed. Some of the benefits associated with speed reading are:

Increases efficiency: By increasing reading speed, one can complete more material in less
time. This can be useful in situations where there is a lot of reading material that needs to be
processed, such as when researching or studying.

Overcome restrictions: Several speed reading techniques can help a person overcome
common limitations in reading, such as subvocalization (saying a word in one's mind) or
skipping on unnecessary words. By practicing these techniques, one can read more quickly
without compromising comprehension.

Increases focus: Speed reading techniques often involve increasing focus and concentration
while reading. With the right practice, one can develop the cognitive skills to focus on the
text and avoid getting caught up in drifting thoughts.”
