I1
Stop subvocalizing
Most people mentally 'say' each word as they read. Learning to suppress this inner voice is the single biggest speed boost you can make.
II2
Use your finger or a pointer
Guiding your eye with a physical or visual pointer keeps your gaze moving forward at a steady pace and prevents backtracking.
III3
Expand your visual span
Train yourself to absorb 2-3 words per glance instead of one. Fixate on the middle of short phrases rather than individual words.
IV4
Minimize regression
Resist the urge to re-read sentences. Trust your comprehension and keep moving. You can review key points after finishing the passage.
V5
Practice daily
Even 10 minutes of deliberate speed-reading practice per day compounds quickly. Consistency beats intensity every time.
