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
There’s a lot of good advice here, but I will add that some people are just slower readers, and that’s perfectly okay. I’m a fairly fast reader. My brother is a very slow reader. He still graduated college with an English degree and then went to law school. He reads all the time (more for work than pleasure now) and is a beautiful writer, but he’s still a slow reader. And that’s fine, he just has to plan for it.
