More common speed reading myths
Before we get into too much detail, let's look at some more common speed reading myths:
- If I read faster, my comprehension will drop. Not necessarily true. Slow readers often have comprehension problems because they forget the start of sentences and paragraphs before they finish them. You can easily increase your core reading speed, without skipping words, and still preserve (or improve) comprehension.
- I need to read all of a book. Not true. Books are a way of capturing and transferring someone's ideas and knowledge. Books are inefficient at doing this, however they are easy to make available to a wide audience. Often publishers force authors to bulk out sections with "fluff" because it will help sell more copies. While the authors may know their topic well, they might not know how to express their thoughts well in written form. In addition, the authors' reasons for writing might not be the same as your reasons for reading. Keep these facts in mind while you search for your gems. If you're not finding what you need to make your time investment worthwhile, have the courage to skip sections, chapters or even entire books!
- I already read well. There's no point trying to improve my reading speed. Not true. Research shows that speed reading training and drills do improve eye movements, resulting in higher speeds while comprehension remains steady. Even if you are a good reader, some of the drills provided in this course will still help you increase your reading speed.
