FYI - Speed Reading Class Starts February 7 |
 |
|
If you have always wanted to learn how to read more
in less time, now you can do it with me! I continue
to team up with Barnes and Noble On-Line University
to teach my course "Speed Reading: Read More in
Less Time" using my book 10 Days to Faster
Reading.
It is an eight-lesson course that once it starts,
you have 7 weeks to complete it - on your own
schedule available to you 24/7. The best part, in
addition to the fact that I teach it and it's
on-line, is the teaching is complimentary - all you
need is a copy of the book!
So wait no longer - sign up through
Barnes and Noble University under the Life
Improvement Courses.

ADDING RHYTHM TO YOUR READING |
|
|
|
Believe it or not, the act of reading involves an
eye rhythm. Faster readers have a flowing rhythm
while slower readers read choppy and disjointed.
Flowing rhythm readers read more efficiently and
effectively - and their eyes tire less - when they
read either on paper OR on-screen.
You can learn to create this eye rhythm on your
own by using a regular tick-tock sound of a clock
(old wind-ups are especially useful for this
purpose) or by using a metronome. (A metronome is a
rhythm-keeping device used by musicians.*). Much
like the tick of an old grandfather clock, a
metronome ticks back and forth rhythmically. The
benefit of a metronome is you can set and adjust the
speed.
Getting started:
- Select any general reading material with
narrow columns such as a newspaper or favorite
magazine.
- Set your tick-tock clock near you so you can
hear its rhythmic sound. If you are using a
metronome, set it to start at a slow pace.
- Start reading at the beginning of the first
line on the first tick and reach the end of the
line at the tock, then go to the beginning of
the next line on the next tick and so on.
As you become more confident and find you are
reading faster than the ticks and tocks, increase
the speed of the metronome or try to double what you
read between tick-tocks.
Challenge yourself by forcing the speed for a
paragraph or two. Your eyes may be able to go faster
than you think!
