In the modern age of information, reading truly is a fundamental survival skill. Here are ten tips that anyone can use to improve their reading skills.
A. you don’t have to be a great reader to get the point
Some people read fast and remember everything. Others read slowly and take a couple of times to get all the information. It doesn’t matter, really, so long as you read, you get information you’re seeking. Everyone should do more reading to improve his or her reading skill.
B. know why you’re reading
are you reading for entertainment or to learn something? Decide why you’re reading before you start and you’ll greatly improve your comprehension and your enjoyment. So reading can bring us happiness, we should do more reading
C. You Don’t Need To Read Everything
Not every magazine, letter, and email you receive contains information you need. In fact, most of it is simply junk. Throw it away, hit the delete key! Just doing this wills double the amount of time you have available to read. Choose good material to read so that to save our reading time.
D. you don’t need to read all of what you do read
do you read ever article of every magazine, every chapter of every book? If so, you’re probably spending a lot of time reading stuff you don’t need.
E. scan before you read
Look at the table of contents, index, topic headers, photo captions, ect. These will help you determine if,
a) You have a real interest in this reading, and
b) what information you’re likely to get from it.
F. prioritize your reading
You can’t read everything all at once (and wouldn’t want to).if it’s important, read it now. If it’s not, It wait.
G. optimize your reading environment
You will read faster and comprehend more if you read in an environment that’s comfortable for you. So try to choose a comfortable environment before you read.
H. once you start, don’t stop
Read each item straight. If you finish and have questions, go back and re-read the pertinent sections. If you don’t have questions, you got what you needed and are ready to move on. Once you start reading an article you should keep reading ahead, do not stop.
I. focus
Remember, you’re reading with a purpose, so focus on that purpose and the material. If you lose interest or keep losing your place, take a break or read something else. You can keep track of where you are by following along with your hand. This simple technique helps you focus and increase your concentration
J. practice
The more you read the better reader you are. We should do more reading to improve our reading speed, if you enjoy your reading, you will like reading better.
