Are you reading aloud (or in your head)?
Most people sub-vocalize or pronounce the words to yourself as you read. Almost everyone does it, although to different degrees: some read aloud (or under their breath), while others vocalise each word in their heads. Good speed reading strategies pay special attention to sub-vocalization as it is a major cause for drops in reading speed.
Are you easily distracted while reading?
Another major cause for drops in reading speed is due to how easily a reader is distracted. Undergoing training to incorporate good speed reading strategies will enable you to maintain a high level of concentration regardless of the activity around you.
Do you constantly reread the material?
This is a common plight of most readers where they keep rereading lines or sometimes paragraphs. This is usually an attempt to confirm that they have understood what they have read. With good speed reading strategies, you will not only read faster but gain greater confidence in your comprehension which will eliminate your need to reread.
How fast is your current reading speed?
To see the impact of good speed reading strategies, you must first know how quick you are currently reading. Most speed reading strategies address this early in the program to establish your reading level. Once you know where you are, you will be more aware of what to expect going forward.
