What is Speed Reading?
Speed reading is a technique that helps you read faster while still understanding the text. It involves reading groups of words at once instead of one word at a time. It's important to train your mind to say the words internally.
Additionally, move your index fingers along the text. Try to glide smoothly over the page or screen with your eyes and fingers, focusing on the most important sentences. This way, you can quickly absorb information without losing comprehension. The main benefits of speed reading include saving time, improved concentration, and better retention of what you've read. This makes speed reading a useful skill for processing large amounts of information.
