|
The act of reading faster than the average speed.
|
|
One of the common methods in shutting off your inner reading voice and replacing it with visualizing words as you read along.
|
|
|
|
To understand why the surrounding skepticism, we have to look at the claims especially with anything that involves more than 1,000 words per minute (WPM) of reading speed.
|
|
Knowing [[id:25fb4ebf-2cc4-40fe-93ad-37a79aedfb41][The basics of memory]], this is neurologically unlikely as learning takes time.
|
|
Speedreading is also physically impossible as reading is a complex process.
|
|
It takes time to absorb even an inch of information compared to the very fast pace of merely reading the material at double the average speed of 300 WPM.

|
|
|
As I dive deeper into this topic, the more it appears that it is basically skimming with a fancier name.
|
|
Thus, speedreading can be a great way to improve comprehension if one ought to think that [[id:5c1e9540-9663-4512-8c84-05529ad22212][Speedreading is all about skimming well]].
