DYNAMICS OF SPEED READING
ACCELERATED PACING METHOD:
Hand movements can cause improvement of reading speed. Now I’ll introduce to you the well-known pacing movement. It uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don’t move your head, keep it still.
BASIC PACING:
Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don’t have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.
The process is simple. You’ll replace all your bad habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. Here’s how it breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed.
We did experiments in Hawaii, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your speaking rate will no longer restrict your reading speed. You will read as fast as you can think. Yes, you can read as fast as your mind can work.
To understand this concept, you must understand that your nemesis “The Babbler” is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain. We did experiments in Hawaii, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your speaking rate will no longer limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work.
