Many first year writing students ask me how they can read faster and comprehend more. For some of these students, the problem is that they’re subvocalizing words, and using valuable brain bandwidth for decoding words that would be better spent making meaning and meaningful connections to the ideas in the text. Here’s SpeedReadingLounge.com’s Mark Ways’s guide to help you learn to read chunks of words, which will speed up your reading and, used with annotation, will improve your comprehension.
Hi Eric,
Thanks a lot for linking to my “elderly” post on word group reading. I wanted to kindly ask if you might be willing to rather link to my current website on speed reading (SpeedReadingLounge) which provides a more up to date version of the guide. http://www.speedreadinglounge.com/reading-groups-of-words
There are also more articles on the topic compared to SpeedReadingTechniques which I only occasionally update with new information. Might be useful to your readers.
If you have any further questions I’d be happy to get in touch again.
Many thanks
Mark Ways
