Speed Reading - The Easy Way by Howard S Berg and Marcus Conyers

This book teaches about speed reading, however it really goes deeper than just about reading. It is more a book about study skills. I really believe the content in this book belongs in class rooms around the world.

-Your study location, proper light, proper posture

-Exercise your eyes, calm yourself, relaxation techniques to learn to properly focus on what you are studying.

-Take time to review the table of contents and the appendix of a book prior to studying/reading it.

-Make notes to the key points of the book.

-The content determines the speed in which you take the content in.

-Content that is familiar is done at high speeds

-Make notes in the margin rather than re-reading things that need review or are important.

Speed Reading:

-Note how fast you currently read.

-Practice reading in sections rather than word by word. Train your mind to see sentences rather than non-audible talking. Silence the talking and start taking in larger chunks of words at once.

-First a few words at a time

-Then one line at a time

-Then multiple lines at a time.

Speed reading is a learned skill that requires constant training. Your comprehension will get better and better the more and faster you read.

This book is a keeper and should be passed on to generations after you.

Speed reading should be a skill developed by anyone that is interested in continual learning. You should never quit learning, just like you should never quit reading.

Will you read this book again? Yes
