Speed Reading Apps To Learn More In Less Time

Speed reading is about practice. A noted Indian politician challenged himself to read a book daily and he did that. His name is Shashi Tharoor. Reading fast comes out of practice. As much you read as much you get speed. That is a simple, very simple way of speed reading.

My Hack Gaps are straight forward and simple.

  • Read once; look for how much time that page or a chapter took.
  • Now, read the same chapter again, look for time consumed, obviously it will be less than the first time.
  • Read again, this time you will find time consumed is remarkably less. And this process works.

You friend may read more than you do and its perfectly OK.

  • Lot depends on how much you read a day.
  • The type of book you chose: course book, magazines, genre etc.
  • Difficulty level: At this point I would suggest, if you are an average reader, to practice speed reading chose higher level book, at least a little higher and different than the course syllabus.
  • An average reader is someone who is used to words and phrases but take little extra time than the next best friend.

There is no standard definition of average, average reader. It's the same as when you drive on a new road, you take extra time than when you drive the same distance in your local area.
And that is my method of Speed Reading.                                                                              
That may sound not very interesting to you but for your knowledge let me tell you once you try you will find it helpful. You can begin with 1 paragraph or 1 page of a book. And as soon as you complete the above 3 steps for 1 page or chapter may be, you will enjoy doing the same for the next chapter. And you will notice the difference. 

Why is speed reading important? Maybe you can question, right? 

The curriculum is lengthy for any examination; you need not only to attempt too many questions in less time but also need help in reading fast. Practice is the key to achieve a certain level of speed, but you need help too. In today’s world environment when both parents are busy, certainly students need help from machines and apps. If you use a smartphone or laptop with decent internet connection you can try some apps and online web based readers that can help you in speed reading.
Thanks to app makers who did a great job to assist in learning. Using speed reading techniques, you can multiply your reading speed up to 3 times. Obviously not in a single day, but you need commitment and regular practice towards it. These apps make use of Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) technique to display words in a rapid manner, so you can read truly fast.

If you are likely to take help from your phone here is a list of Speed Reading Apps to Learn More in less time https://www.producthunt.com/search?q=Speed+Reading+Apps

Or

Use Stop Watch Technique: If you don’t want to try apps and mobile that’s next to great, Use my Stop Watch Technique as I detailed in the beginning of this article.
 
Ingredients Required: A book, a watch and you. I love calling this method Stop Watch Technique.

Use stopwatch technique in 3 steps and improve reading speed 3 times.
