Speed reading is a skill with which a person can increase the rate of words read a minute. Generally speaking, a person can read between 200 and 250 words a minute.
◆Have a general idea about the topic before reading. If you’re reading a book, it’s a good idea to read the introduction or preface before reading the main text.
◆Increase your eye span. Your eyes can take in several words at a time and this is known as eye span. To increase your eye span, avoid reading word by word, but try reading blocks of words in a sentence.
◆Do not reread. The most common mistake made by readers is frequent going back to think about some sentences they’ve read.
