It is easy to say clear distractions, but that is easier said than done. I don't know if there really is an easy way to become more focused and not let distractions bother you.

I would also recommend maybe a text to speech reader to help with slower readers as well. Some good tips on how to improve your reading speed.

That strategy feels intuitively right to many students — but it’s much less effective than active recall, and it can give rise to a false sense of confidence.” On the topic of subvocalization, I have a video that's on YouTube that goes over that same method, of counting, or repeating vowels, you can see it on my website: krismadden.com I agree re-reading is not a good thing, and just to add to your argument:

Awesome article. I recently read a page in Tim Ferris's 4 Hour work week where her gives a cool instruction how to increase reading speed massively, using indented focus and word grouping :) Really interesting, I never knew it was possible :) Cheers! Diggy Hey Vincent!

Reading speed likely lowers a lot of people's efficiency levels. You should take into consideration what you are reading and at what level you need to grasp the information. For example, you probably don't need to read every word of a terms & conditions agreement, but you may want to read every word if you are reading a textbook which you will be tested on. Great tips.

I wish I could read like that. Imagine how much books we can devour in a week? :) Hi Megan, As a writer we definitely want others to read every word that we had written. However efficiency wise, reading word for word doesn't really seems like a good choice. :) Hi Briefcases, It is important to clear out distractions to help you focus on what you are reading. Going back to reread the paragraph that you had just read will slow you down tremendously. Hi aegil, Passion is a key too. Nice point! We do tend to read faster when we are reading subject that appears much more interesting to us. Cheers, Vincent Hi Oscar,

Or (words per page) per minute *laughs*? When you are passionate about a topic, you'll automatically read faster as you progress on that topic, because you are so engrossed at it! So your reading speed depends on your passion, but the tips above are hard to beat! Oscar, what is the word density (words per page)? Or (words per page) per minute *laughs*?
