Chunk Reading

Chunk words together instead of reading one by one.

Example: Wrong - in / the / middle / of / the / road
Correct- in the middle of the road

Finger Pacing

Use your finger or pen to guide your eyes while reading.

This reduces back-tracking and keeps your eyes focused.

Result: Instant 20–30% speed boost.

Avoid Subvocalisation

Subvocalisation = saying words in your mind.

Try to:

• Keep your mouth still
• Increase reading pace slightly
• Focus on ideas, not words

Skimming vs Scanning

Skimming:

• Read quickly to get the main idea
• Useful for revision, articles, chapters

Scanning:

• Search for keywords or specific info
• Useful for MCQs, dates, facts, numbers

Knowing both = smarter reading.

Practice these tricks 10 minutes
daily.

You'll read faster, remember more, and finish chapters quickly.
