READING MORE WORDS AT A TIME

We have been trained to mentally say each word to ourselves as we read. This, we learned above, is what keeps up from reading faster. We have also been trained into another bad habit. When we read, we can take in whole groups of words at a time, but we have been conditioned to see only one at a time.

You can read this whole page

in one glance, but because

of the way you have been

trained, you are reading this

only one word at a time.

Having to re-read, and sometimes not understand what you read, is the curse of the "one word at a time" reader. The techniques we are going to work on together will get you to break this habit.
