  1. Tips on Increasing Your Reading Rate

  2. Environment • Be sure you are seated in a comfortable chair at a table or desk. • Find a place where there is little or no background noise. • Don’t multitask while reading: no Internet IM’s, text messaging, phone calls, TV, or fast-paced music. • The room should be well-lighted, but there should be no glare on the pages you are reading. • Hold the book upright and at a right angle.

  3. Eye Movement • Read in phrases, instead of word-by-word. For example: Sit in a well-lighted/room with little/or no noise/to minimize distractions. • As you read each line of text, keep your eyes focused on the top, rather than the bottom of the words. This will greatly increase your reading speed.

  4. Focus • Finally, consciously focus on the task at hand. • If distracting thoughts enter your mind from time to time, stop and refocus. • Whether you are reading a novel or a textbook, find something enjoyable about what you are reading. This will make the reading process faster, easier, and much more beneficial.
