Story - Becoming a Faster Reader
In order to get homework done in a more timely manner, students will often learn how to read textbooks faster. When a student reads faster, then he or she can learn the material that is to be read at a much faster pace.
Practice makes perfect. In this case, learning to read text faster takes practice. Studies have shown that the more you read, the faster you get at reading. Your brain learns more vocabulary words because it has been exposed to them more frequently. The reader will also learn what these words mean because they have seen them in different contexts. Understanding relationships among words can be picked up more quickly when people read more often. They learn what to look for in certain sentences.
Another way of becoming a faster reader is by learning how to skim material. Students must learn how to pick out main ideas and their details. Fast readers can do this because they know where to look in a sentence for the subject and verb. Minor and trivial information that is in the sentence can be skipped over. The main idea of the sentence or paragraph has been isolated in the reader’s mind within a matter of a few seconds. This tactic should only be applied to reading texts if the material is not of major importance and it can be done effectively without missing the major points from the author.
Finally, a technique can be applied to save time when reading. Use a sheet of paper to cover the lines that have not been read yet. This will save the student time because they will not reread a sentence that they have already read. It also keeps the reader focused. Elementary teachers use this common practice with their early readers in order to help them to stay focused, and on the correct line of the paragraph in the text.
