Good reader = 1000 words / minute.
Techniques for improving:
1. Take in more words at 1 time
2. Keep the eyes moving progressively onward, (reading is so much faster than writing), reduce back-skipping, establish reading rhythm, and then accelerate speed.
3. Constantly scanning for keywords and ideas
4. Build interested and positive mental state
5. Read with good poise and posture.
6. Use a line-indicator to read.
7. Use colour to mark
Techniques for books:
1. Flip through the entire book, look for charts, graphs ... get a feel
2. Read the table of contents, scan the introduction of the first chapter:
3. Go to the most interesting chapter, or the last chapter: read its conclusion
4. For every chapter, read introduction and conclusion , then skim fast through, get the keywords, ideas. No back-skipping here.
5. Use colors to mark the important keywords, concepts.
