If you don't have time for speed-reading classes, speed-reading software is a great way to learn the techniques behind the art of reading quickly. Choose a speed-reading software that is compatible with your computer and be prepared for a number of well-planned lessons and exercises that help you to increase your reading speed and comprehension. Purchasing speed-reading software allows you to reexamine lessons and redo exercises that you believe are especially pertinent.
If computer programs and websites aren't compatible with your learning ability but you still don't have enough time to take speed-reading classes, purchasing an instructional book about speed reading is a great option for you. Speed-reading books are designed to have a series of speed-reading lessons followed by exercises that encourage you to practice your skill. Speed-reading books provide you with written information regarding speed-reading fundamentals, techniques and lists of helpful prefixes, roots and suffixes that will increase your reading comprehension. Worksheets provided in the book will help you to evaluate your progress.
Speed-reading websites provide you with the ease of having all of the instruction you can get from books, software or classes on your computer without even having to leave your home. Speed-reading websites range in price and effectiveness, so shop carefully. Although there are free speed-reading websites online, be aware that these websites will not have the same in-depth information, well-planned lessons and thorough exercises that paid websites will.
One of the easiest ways for most students to learn is by learning from the instruction of a teacher. Go to your local library to inquire about speed-reading classes in your area. Research each speed-reading class available and the teachers who instruct them, asking around for reviews to make sure that you choose the class and teacher that will be most effective for your learning style. Depending on how you learn, you can select a program based on class size. Classes can range in size from more than 30 people to one-on-one teacher interaction.
