Important Tips On Accelerated Reading

By Lisa Carter


Basically, accelerated learning is one method of learning that assists an individual to organize, arrange, as well as assimilate information faster. As a matter of fact, since the evolvement of the printing press, a majority of people have been exposed to information usually presented in written word. It is for this reason that people should learn how to gather and absorb the written word such that they can save time as well as energy through the accelerated reading.

Generally, there is an ongoing increase in expansion and influence of web multimedia services, where the written word tends to be somehow losing its ground little by little. However, written word still remains to be the most prevalent and popular means of presenting information up to today. Although it could be argued that the written word is also the major culprit of information overload, it puts a lot of pressure to gatherers of information who work hard to ensure that the written word makes sense to the whole world.

From a young age, people are usually conditioned and trained methods to absorb the written word in different ways. Most people are first taught pronunciation techniques of one alphabetical letter at a time. Next, people are introduced to read short words and are guided to pronounce each letter in the word as an individual character prior to verbalizing the word as a whole.

As people grow older, they gain more experience as they read, and naturally progress to read larger words as they learn to verbalize these words in totality. This enhances as well as improves their reading speed. Nonetheless, for most people, their progression ends at this point. In consequence, this marks the beginning of a lifelong pattern in which learning becomes ineffective hence presenting an inefficient strategy in the absorption of large amounts of information to their mind.

There are different techniques used to improve how a person reads. One such technique is speed reading principle. The technique involves skimming, chunking, identifying and filtering certain pieces of information in order to accelerate learning. While skimming the information, you get an overall image of the subject without losing the meticulous details.

In chunking, you put together the relevant aspects the same way you chunk individual letters into words. This helps to assimilate sentences and paragraphs in a quick succession. At the same time, you can filter or identify information that is not relevant in helping you understand the topic. Speed reading not only involves how to read quickly but involves analysis process of assimilating the information to help learn the information quickly.

Another technique that is used to accelerate how you read is known as photo reading principle. The principle engages a preconscious form of awareness which naturally create creativity, fasten information absorption while opening a door for a non-judgmental learning. For this particular case, you close the conscious critical mind from this learning cycle. However, your conscious mind is necessary for inducing short and long-term memory, although it may become a hindrance due to the preconceived ideas or notions about the information you read.

The advantage of learning how to read at a higher speed can substantially reduce the study time and your efforts. Again, you can improve your comprehension speed and absorption of new information.
