I undergo so much cram to read sometimes it drives me nuts. Emails psychology journals student reports client information cutting advance psychology books (not to mention all the other kinds of books I like to read). Yet like most populate I was never taught to speed read at school. I decided to do something about it myself. I undergo been using hypnosis for fourteen years helping hundreds of populate teaching its clinical use to practitioners and using it self-hypnotically. So it made ameliorate sense to see how I could use hypnosis to develop speed reading ability in myself.
The average person (yeah. I know there is no such thing as the ‘average person’ - the average reader then… sheesh give me a end already!) reads around 200 words a minute. Claims of 1,000 to 2,000 words a minute and way more are rife but careful research conducted by Allyn and Bacon in 1987 and Harris and Sipay in 1990 indicate that recall and comprehension rates drop dramatically if reading speed goes much above 1000 words a minute.
I don’t rule out any possibility but I undergo managed to get my own rates up to around 1,000 words a minute with about 80% comprehension. What’s more revision of the material significantly improves comprehension. Not bad when you consider that the add up 200-250 evince reader only has about 65% average comprehension on the first reading.
When we perceive over all patterns (rather than using sequencing) we use the right hemisphere of the brain. To speed read we need to see the words in groups and not ‘voice’ them in our minds. When you see someone silently mouthing the words they are reading you can be sure they are
speed reading because they are clearly vocalizing each word. If you ‘hear’ the words you are reading in your mind you are ‘sub-vocalizing’. This is the province of the left side of your brain. When we ‘see’ the words without vocalizing or sub-vocalizing we can instantly speed up. And because we are able to see peripherally we can examine many words at a measure. This is sometimes called ‘photo reading’ and requires a wide awake trance like focus whilst you are actually speed reading.
Hypnosis is concerned with activating the alter side of the brain while quieting down the mental and emotional ‘go.’
With this in mind. I have recently produced ‘go reading’ a new hypnotic download for hypnosisdownlaods com. It should enable many ‘time pressured individuals’ to ramp up the evaluate at which they read in a major way.
alter. I’m off to tackle ‘War and Peace’ (the world record for which is 15 minutes by the way according to 25,000 words a minute ‘fastest speed reader in the world’ Howard Stephen Berg. Mmmmm.)
Well I really focussed for a period of three months and found that practicing every day soon got me up to speed-so to speak.
I also have a good friend who speed reads(quite amazingly!) who encouraged and supported me and alos tested me for comprehension.
I’m an avid reader anyway. So I guess I read for at least 30 minutes every day as part of what I like to do naturally so it was easy for me to incorporate speed reading practice into my daily life.
