Do not do sub-vocalization
Whenever we read a book, we also speak while reading it, which is called sub-vocalization, whether you read by speaking fast or in both the conditions in your mind, your reading speed becomes very slow. Your brain can read fast, but when you start speaking while reading words, then the speed of the brain has to depend on your ability to speak, which reduces the speed of reading.
First read the line given below as normal as you read, then just move your eyes without speaking from the first word to the last word. Sometimes trying to do the right thing can be exhausting.
Your brain recognizes and understands the word even before you speak, but your speaking reduces the speed of reading, it is like a breaker in the speed of reading. So while reading, speak as little as possible, look only at the words and complete the sentence. Keep in mind that this process can be learned slowly, do not try to do it in a day, otherwise you will not understand anything, due to which you will get irritated and again you will start reading aloud again.
If you want, you can use some RSVP (Rapid Series Visual Presentation) Apps. In these apps, you are shown words one by one quickly, in which you only get time to look at the words, so you will reduce reading words by speaking.
Some ways to reduce Subvolization :-
use chewing gum while reading
listen to an instrumental song while reading
read while trying to touch your tongue to the nose
2. Avoid Regression:
You can read 80% of any book on only 20% of the pages, which is also called the 80/20 principle. Many times while reading, you realize that you have forgotten the line you read earlier, then you start reading that line again, this process is called Regression. Reading speed decreases by 10 to 15 percent due to regression.
Keep in mind that you do not need to read a 400-page book completely, everything written in the book is not useful, so you neither need to read nor remember every word and line of the book. If you are forgetting what you read again and again, it may be due to your lack of activeness or your lack of interest, whenever you study, go to a quiet place with full concentration and study. To avoid regression, hide what you read so that it is not visible to you, so that your sight is not lost and your reading speed does not make any difference.
3. Use Visual Pacer:
You might not understand the word Visual Pacer, but its meaning is very simple. When reading, always keep an object with you that you can move along with the words, such as a pencil, pen, or you can also use your finger. Now your reading speed will depend on the speed of your object, the faster your object moves, the sooner you will be able to read the book completely.
In the beginning, play the object slowly, keep in mind that it will take you a few days to read 400 to 500 words per minute, do not try to do this process immediately, due to hurry you will not understand anything read. Keep your eyes fixed on your object, do not look here and there, move the object slowly where there is important information, and move the object fast where the information is not useful. The object will also help you mark important vocabs or words that you can write down and learn their meanings later.
4. Read in Chunks:
Our eyes can see 5 or 7 words at a time which is called Fovea.
Don't read the whole line or each word in continuation, our brain stores the words in chunks, for example just look at the colored words in the sentence below.
मुग़ल साम्राज्य के पतन की शुरुआत औरंगजेब के सख्त शासन काल
You must have noticed that you read only a few words in the above sentence, but still you understood the meaning of the whole sentence. This happened because when you were looking at a word, your eye automatically stored the words next to it in your mind.
Similarly, whenever you read the book, mark the important words of each line, so that you do not have to read the whole line in the second turn. By doing this you will be able to finish the book very quickly.
Even if you see winning, try to drop the helping verb immediately, no matter what language you study, but the method will remain the same.
