Speed reading is not just about reading fast. It is also about how much information you can remember
when you have finished reading. Nowadays, speed reading has become an essential skill in any
environment where people have to master a large volume of information.
Although there are various methods to increase reading speed, the trick is deciding what information
you want first. For example, if you only want a rough outline of an issue, then you can skim the material
quickly and extract the key facts. However, if you need to understand every detail in a document, then
you
must read it slowly enough to understand this.
The best tip anyone can have to improve their reading speed is to practise. In order to do this
effectively, a person must be engaged in the material and want to know more. If you find yourself
constantly having to re-read the same paragraph, you may want to switch to reading material that grabs
