HOW TO: Speed Read

September 7, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 5 comments

In the following video, Kris Madden will teach you a technique that should help you read faster, and I can attest that this works as explained. Those of you who had to go through huge amount of documentation for their studies at one point or another probably already know all about this, even though no one ever taught you directly. Check it out:

As Madden explains in the video, the secret is to teach yourself to stop vocalizing words with your larynx while reading. The data that enters through your eyes must go directly to your brain… but as simple as this may sound, it’s not. Try it for yourself, you’ll see.

    if mumbling 12345 or aiueo is too hard, try mumbling songs you already memorized or used to mumble all the time.

    i’ve done this since i was 13 years old, it really helps alot when you have to read lotsa materials.

    9 seconds to read those two sentences? Who is this aimed to, 2nd graders? I don’t need more than 3 seconds at most, and English is not my mother tongue…
