Speed Reading!

Actually, I didn't care about the speed in reading because my vocabularies are too poor. When reading books, magazines or anything else, I must check dictionary so much. Therefore, my speed in reading is too bad. When I came to 95 reading class yesterday, the instructor help us know how to improve to read fast and we also practiced reading in the short time to increase the speeds. To be a good reader, people should avoid some things. First, you shouldn't vocalize because it will make you read slower and less than 250wpm. Besides, "word-by-word" methods also make people cannot be a "thought reader" because people cannot understand the whole sentences easily.
I think the most popular mistake that I often have is stopping when I see any new words. This breaks the rhythm of my reading and makes me lose the trend of thought or miss some of the main ideas. People also should not use pencils or fingers to follow a line of print because it cannot move as fast as eyes. Some other mistakes that people should give up to improve reading skills is don’t need to regress means to go back; also, they should concentrate seriously because concentration is one of the most important skills not only reading but also anything that they do. People should pay attention to author’s clues to understand things that people are reading easily and exactly.
Speed in reading is very necessary, but it is not means that people must create fast speed while reading because when people read too fast without understanding, it is unmeaning. In the different materials, people should have suitable speed when reading. For example, with difficult concepts and vocabulary, technical materials or critical reading, people just should read with speed from 250WPM to 50WPM. I think that one important thing that we can improve reading fast is practicing. The more we practice, the faster we read.

With these method, I hope that I can become a good reader in the future! :)) Good luck to you!!
