After China accessed to the WTO, English has become more and more important. The main purpose of studying English is that understands English and obtains the
2、 latest information for work and research. However, in the reading process, the main problem is that people read too slowly. So how to improve English reading speed appears increasingly important. Reading speed is very crucial to the reading, readers come into contact with language materials frequen
3、tly could learn and master a large number of vocabularies; meanwhile, extensive reading can let readers understand the society and cultural history of English country. Moreover, the understanding of English-speaking countries is also essential to the professional quality for English majors. Improvin
4、g the ability of understanding the language, master the reading skills, enrich the language knowledge to broaden their range of knowledge, develop the ability of independent reading and speed reading skills, which are extremely important for improving the reading ability, and have great significance
5、s to their study, work and life. This paper main analyses some factors which affect the English reading speed, such as vocabulary, reading habit and the background knowledge of culture and so on. Aiming at these problems, this paper also introduces some methods and strategies to improve the speed of
6、 reading. These methods included five aspects: A. skim reading and scan reading; B. meaning guessing strategies; C. good reading habit; D. mind concentration; E. wide knowledge scope. Therefore, this paper analyses some main obstacles in English reading speed and raise a lot of efficient strategies
7、to improve it. II. Obstacles in English Reading SpeedIn the reading process, readers usually meet some problems or obstacles, such as, vocabulary, reading habit, the background knowledge of culture and so on. And these obstacles will influence their reading speed. So this paper will analyze these ob
8、stacles carefully as follows:A. Vocabulary In the reading, readers can easily find many new words. Vocabulary, like pronunciation and grammar, is an elementary building block for a language .It is one of the important factors of reading skills, having decisive influence to the reading speed. D.A.Wil
9、kins, a famous British linguist, once said that without grammar very little can be conveyed; without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed.1 English word like the characters of Chinese language are a basic phonetic material. If readers lack the necessary words, or do not know the meaning of words, they
10、 will fail to receive the message or respond correctly in communication, let alone improve reading speed. New words prevent them from reading fast. When they meet unfamiliar words, they will either deep in thought, or look up dictionary, so it must waste their time and influence their reading speed.
11、 So the vocabulary is one of the main obstacles of reading speed. B. Bad Reading Habit The reading habit has direct influence to the reading speed. The good reading habit can speed reading, but bad reading habit will prevent readers from reading fast. Many people have bad reading habits as follows:
12、1. Reading by Fingers While reading, some readers often point at the words with a finger, a pen or something else. That is nothing but to slow down the reading speed and cause them to focus their attention on individual words or unimportant information rather than the idea that the author is trying
13、to communicate with them. 2. Vocalization Vocalization is the worst obstacle that prevents readers from reading fast. Readers with this habit usually move their mouth, pronouncing quite softly or whispering the words while reading. Sometimes, they may just move their lips soundlessly; at other times
14、, they may merely make tongue or throat movements without lip movement, they are saying each word to themselves. In fact, for efficient readers, there is no sound effect in their brains. This bad habit will slow down the reading speed. 3. Short Eye Span Some readers always read word-by-word and sent
15、ence-by-sentence or use their pens to point the words from side to side while reading the context. As a result, they cannot accomplish the task of reading within the required time. That is a bad habit in reading and it will slow down the speed of reading. 4. Regression A regression is a backward mov
16、ement along a line of print, that is, re- reads a word or phrase that has been read. Readers with this habit cant concentrate on reading and often move their eyes back and forth and sometimes they even go back over several words or a phrase several times before going on to the next part of the line. When they come across new words, regression is made more frequently. Generally speaking, this is a sign of poor reading. In fact, all re
