Outline For How To Speed Read

To help guide you to speed reading we will provide you an outline that will show you the steps to take. You can take notes, or else print out the article for reference.

Steps:
1. Before reading set a timer for one minute, which will allow you to review a set of sentences. If you fail to finish reading the material in one minute, do not sweat, rather practice to finish sooner on the next round.
2. When you choose material, select material of interest. Once you select the material to read, quickly read the first seven lines of information provided to you.
3. Before reading, always review the title, subtitle, list, and other information available to you.
4. When you start to read and finish the first practices, reread the information, paying close attention to the linking sentences. Try to use association skills to relate to the information to improve comprehension.
5. While reading search for familiar words to relate with the context.
6. Always look for messages between the lines of material read.

What Critical Readers Do
Critical readers often verify information received. For instance, critical readers will note the author, source, audience, arguments, and evidence to verify what they read is factual. A true research or critical reader will also consider the Internet to find facts, yet they realize that much information posted may not have proof to back its claim. The reader will also consider if information is prime or secondary, as well contact information of the writer. Critical readers will also view the context of information to see how well it is written, as well as check for organization of text. The reader goes further to check for purpose, reasoning, and to verify no bias opinions exist in the context. Overall, critical readers go out of their way to verify facts.

This topic was chosen, since speed-readers often are critical readers in nature. The readers search for details in summary, rather than go out of their way to analyze each word written in material.
