Avoid This Common Mistake When Learning Speed Reading

When you are starting to learn speed reading one of the common mistakes the learner makes is trying to read faster by speeding up what they already do. This approach may bring some gain, but they will be short lived. Here's how to overcome this mistake. The learner gives up simply because this approach is exhausting. It can not be maintained over extended periods. Think of a day when you woke up late and had to rush to get out of the house. If you have to do that all the time, you burn yourself out. Almost all speed reading programs will begin with some form of visual eye-span training.

***Don't Try to Read Super Fast or Slow and Make This Mistake

"Within minutes of starting to read, my mind wanders off. When I come back to the page, I realized I have gone through several pages and don't know what I just read!" This is a common problem for all readers, not just speed readers. Does your mind wander? Alte atively I hear, "I have practiced speed reading and get to 2200 words per minute. But I don't understand what I have read!" is another common complaint from "trained speed readers." Although the scenarios might be different, they both have the same fatal flaw.

***Speed Reading Does Not Work!

Does speed reading really work? No, it does not work! You work it. Now before you stop reading thinking, "that last statement is obvious," I'll ask you to stop and think for a moment. Most people think that reading is a passive activity. Passive readers are slow readers who often have great difficulty with reading comprehension. Highly effective readers on the other hand show great activity in several areas of the brain while reading under brain scanning machines. Most people take reading for granted.

***Speed Reading Training Requires Re-training the Brain, Not Just the Eyes

Speed reading requires training the brain, not just the eyes. Getting the eyes unstuck from looking, and sometimes staring, at individual words is essential, but that is merely one aspect of learning a set of complex behaviors and skills. Training the eyes is the mechanical part of learning the skills. That's easy part. The more difficult aspect is training the brain/mind to comprehend. All speed reading programs will teach you how to move your eyes more efficiently through print. However, many of these actually do this rather improperly.

Speed Reading Tips: Avoid the Trap of Focusing on “Eye-Span”

When learning to speed read, the saying that a little information can be a dangerous thing still applies. Consider the term eye-span.

For new learners coming into my programs, the question keeps coming up early in training. I don`t even use the term in my training. The new learner has read something about it somewhere.
