Reading

Efficient readers not only read faster, but they also read with better comprehension. They read text in much the same way that most of us learn to identify objects in the world around us.

With efficient skills, we can absorb more material in less time, increasing our productivity and effectiveness in all aspects of our lives.

Most people read ineffectively due to the following three factors:

Subvocalization – This is the act of pronouncing the words in your mind and/or even whispering the words to yourself as you go, It is not important to totally eliminate subvocalization, but you do want to minimize it.

Regression - This is where you let your eyes wander back to re-read text you previously read. This is a very common problem and is a major cause for inefficient reading.

Eye Span - This has to do with your "eye fixation time" and "eye fixation zone." In short, you want to learn to "increase your eye fixation timing" and "widen your eye fixation zone" so that you will have the ability to move your eyes faster and read multiple words or even lines at a time.
