Day 1: Breaking the Chains of Slow Reading

Let's face it, our current reading habits can be riddled with hidden inefficiencies. Today's chapter is all about assessing your baseline reading speed and identifying the key roadblocks holding you back. We'll delve into the concept of subvocalization – that pesky inner voice that narrates every word you read. Learn how to quiet this internal monologue and unlock the power of silent reading.

But speed isn't everything without control. We'll also explore the common pitfalls of regression (rereading text) and fixation (dwelling on single words) and equip you with strategies to overcome them.

Exercises:

Timed Reading Test: Choose a passage of comfortable difficulty and measure your current reading speed (words per minute).

Silent Reading Practice: Engage in short reading sessions where you actively suppress your inner voice. Focus on absorbing the meaning through visual comprehension alone.

Regression Buster: Highlight key phrases in a passage to train your eyes to move forward consistently.
