I have reached a point in my life where my reading speed is a problem. I can hardly skim through my textbooks in the time that it takes most people to read all the information we need to understand. Recently I have started trying to get into reading, I started slowly by reading graphic novels but have now moved into reading The Fellowship of the Rings.
Two of my friends did a test and found that where they could fully read a page and comprehend it in about a minute and some change, it took me 2 minutes and 25 seconds to read it.
I just want to get better at reading, so that I can enjoy reading more, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Am I the only one here who thinks that not everyone will be capable of improving their reading speed?
I cannot for the life of me skim read, my brain just cannot take in the information this way, I have to properly read each word.
Op, I have a degree in Mech Eng, and I am a really slow reader. My uni recorded the lectures and I found watching them really helped, if your uni doesn’t do this maybe you could utilise a little camcorder to do it for personal use?
