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
I don’t see a problem with reading slowly. I read quickly, but I’ll slow down a bit sometimes because every once in a while I forget important plot points that happened earlier in a book due to reading a little too fast and not being able to remember every single notable thing that happened in the last 50 or so pages that I read in under an hour, especially if it’s a book that’s extremely plot heavy.
