How do I fast read and at the same time understand what I read?

Question

I know that fast reading is good in finding a specific topic withing the text. But, some people suggest that a person could fast read any text and understand every thing. I don't think so... Some things, I think, would be left unclear...

Answer 1

My fifth grade teacher taught the class how to speed read. It came in handy all through college and beyond, although occasionally I slow it down if the stuff is super technical.
Here is how I began reading faster: use your index finger as your eyes' guide. Run your finger across the line of text and follow along with your eyes. Eventually you won't need to follow your finger, but it does take practice. Another thing I do is skip all the small words like the or a.

Not neccessarily, there is this program that I've tried. It helped a lot, but u have to stick to the program for like a month. The Program is called Infinite Mind Brain Enhancement Technology Eye Q. I know it sounds weird, I was skeptical myself. I lost the contact #, but if you google it and read the info maybe you'll be interested in buying it. Anywayz, I believe with some excercise and training of the brain it is possible to read fast while understanding the info.

Answer 3

It takes practice, but it is possible. I was reading three thousand words a minute, my junior year in high school after taking a speed reading class with 90-100 per cent comprehension. Then when I left school, I had to train myself to slow down, buying books was getting prohibitively expensive. What was nice about the training was that I could go to the exact page to find a reference or quote.

Answer 4

Think you touched on one topic taught. There are programs that tech you what is important and what is clutter. Understanding what is important is useful with speed and accuracy. There is a whole science on taking and constructing test, so it is hard to get specific. Those people maybe suggusting that you learn how to identify what is important more so than understanding everything.

Answer 5

Read with a reason, read with understandind.Its like you are attending an interview, you asked a question they expect you to answer at the same time. It is the same as reading as you are doing other things.
