1、托福-SAT.雅思,GREGMAT. LSAT】通用提高阅读速度【其实看完这你的速度已经提高了】 来源：波士的日志TIPS FOR INCREASING READING SPEEDAs our eyes move across the page they make a series of jerky movements. Whene ver they come to rest on a word that is called a fixation. Most people fixate once on each word across a line of print. In order to
2、make our speed increase we must take in more words with each fixation, rather than make our eyes move faster.1. Try to avoid focusing on every word, but rather look at groups of 2 to3 words. For instance, this sentence could be grouped in this manner: for instance / this sentence / could be grouped
3、/ in this manner 2. Work on vocabulary improvement. Familiarize yourself with new words so you dont get stuck on them when you read them again.3. Read more! 15 minutes a day of reading an average size novel equals 1 8 books a year at an average reading speed!4. Determine your purpose before reading.
4、 If you only need main ideas, th en allow yourself to skim the material. Dont feel you must read very wor d.5.Spend a few minutes a day reading at a faster than comfortable rate (a bout 2 to 3 times faster than your normal speed). Use your hand or an inde x card to guide your eyes down the page. The
5、n time yourself reading a few pagesat your normal speed. Youll find that often your normal reading speed will increas e after your skimming practice.6. If you have poor concentration when reading, practice reading for only 5 - 10 mi nutes at a time and gradually increase this time.7. There are sever
6、al books on increasing reading speed available in most bookstores. If you are serious about increasing your rate you may want to work systematically through one of these booksSUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING READING SPEEDImprovement of Reading RateIt is safe to say that almost anyone can double his speed o
7、f reading while maintain ing equal or even higher comprehension. In other words, anyone can improve th e speed with which he gets what he wants from his reading.The average college student reads between 250 and 350 words per minute on fictio n and non-technical materials. A good reading speed is aro
8、und 500 to 700 words per minute, but some people can read a thousand words per minute or even faster on these materials. What makes the difference? There are three main factors i nvolved in improving reading speed: (1) the desire to improve, (2) the wil lingness to try new techniques and (3) the mot
9、ivation to practice.:Learning to read rapidly and well presupposes that you have the necessary vocabul ary and comprehension skills. When you have advanced on the reading comprehensi on materials to a level at which you can understand college-level materials, you will be ready to speed reading pract
10、ice in earnest.The Role of Speed in the Reading ProcessUnderstanding the role of speed in the reading process is essential. Research has s hown a close relation between speed and understanding. For example, in checking progress charts of thousands of individuals taking reading training, it has been
11、foun d in most cases that an increase in rate has been paralleled by an increase in com prehension, and that where rate has gone down, comprehension has also decrease d.Although there is at present little statistical evidence, it seems that plodding word-b y-word analysis (or word reading) inhibits
12、understanding. There is some reason to b elieve that the factors producing slow reading are also involved in lowered compreh ension. Most adults are able to increase their rate of reading considerably and rathe r quickly without lowering comprehension. These same individuals seldom show an i ncrease
13、 in comprehension when they reduce their rate. In other cases, comprehen sion is actually better at higher rates of speed. Such results, of course, are h eavily dependent upon the method used to gain the increased rate. Simply reading more rapidly without actual improvement in basic reading habits u
14、sually results in lo wered comprehension.Factors that Reduce Reading RateSome of the facts which reduce reading rate: (a) limited perceptual span i.e., word- by-word reading; (b) slow perceptual reaction time, i.e., slowness of recognition and response to the material; (c) vocalization, including th
15、e need to vocalize in order t o achieve comprehension; (d) faulty eye movements, including inaccuracy in placem ent of the page, in return sweep, in rhythm and regularity of movement, etc.; (e) r egression, both habitual and as associated with habits of concentration; (f) faulty ha bits of attention
16、 and concentration, beginning with simple inattention during the rea ding act and faulty processes of retention; (g) lack of practice in reading, due simpl y to the fact that the person has read very little and has limited reading interests s o that very little reading is practiced in the daily or weekly schedule; (h) fear of los ing comprehension, causing the person to suppress his rate deliberately in the firm belief that comprehension is improv
