速讀，作為一種現(xiàn)象，古今中外，均已有之。我國古代，《北齊書》曾記載王孝瑜“讀書敏速，十行俱下”。前蘇聯(lián)大文豪高爾基看雜志，往往是“幾頁幾頁地翻”。經(jīng)科學(xué)地速讀訓(xùn)練，其讀速更大得驚人：日本加古德次先生精心訓(xùn)練的速讀能手長江美子，最快可達(dá)每分鐘讀20萬字。我國北京鐵路二中程 漢杰老師，臺北師專附小譚達(dá)士校長訓(xùn)練的學(xué)生其閱讀效率也是成倍、成數(shù)倍地增長。本模式實驗表明：學(xué)生 閱讀效率一般可提高4—5倍，達(dá)到1500字/分。大量經(jīng)驗表明，速讀能力同其他技能一樣：通過訓(xùn)練，才能提 高;通過有效的訓(xùn)練，就能迅速地提高。

　　Preview the mrial you're going to read. Look at main headings, chapter divisions, and other relevant mrial--to develop clues about the structure of the work。

　　1、先預(yù)覽一下你的閱讀材料。注意主標(biāo)題、章節(jié)分配、和其他相關(guān)材料，旨在構(gòu)筑閱讀材料的結(jié)構(gòu)布局。(拓展：)

　　Adjust your reading speed as you read the mrial. Slow down when you need to be sure that you comprehend a section of mrial. Speed up if you are already familiar with (or don't need to know) other sections。

　　2、在閱讀的同時調(diào)整閱讀速度。對于需要理解領(lǐng)會的篇章，放慢速度;而對于已熟知(或不需要知道)的內(nèi)容，快速讀過。(拓展：)

　　Readers can dramatically improve their reading speeds by taking in several words in the line of text at one time (instead of sounding out each word, or focusing on each letter of the word. Compr programs like Speed Reader or Rapid Reader are designed to help readers improve reading speeds with fhing letters and words. You may also want to learn more about other techniques。

　　3、可以通過一次在一行里加入數(shù)個詞的方法，來顯著提高閱讀速度，而不是逐字逐句去讀出那些詞來。有些，如“速讀”和“快讀”，就是專門設(shè)計通過閃爍字母和單詞來提高人們閱讀速度的。或許你還需要學(xué)習(xí)其他一些技巧來達(dá)到這點(diǎn)。(拓展：快速閱讀記憶訓(xùn)練)

　　Another way to improve your reading speed is to focus on the key words in the sentences. A significant amount of reading time is wasted on conjunctions, prepositions, or articles (i.e. a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but, etc。)。

　　4、提高閱讀速度的另一個方法是，注意句子中的關(guān)鍵詞。我們在連詞、介詞和冠詞上浪費(fèi)了太多時間，如：a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but等。(拓展：)

　　Use a pacer like a or your finger--as a focal point to draw your eye across the line or down the page. A pacer can help you increase your speed and reduce re-reading. A pacer can also help you to keep track of what you are reading。

　　5、使用“節(jié)奏器”，例如一支筆或手指，以在閱讀一行或一頁時，形成一種注視焦點(diǎn)。節(jié)奏器不僅能幫你提高速度，還能避免重復(fù)閱讀，并協(xié)助了解閱讀內(nèi)容。(拓展：)

　　Talk about what you've read. Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends or fellow students, they are able to effectively synthesize the mrial。

　　6、談?wù)撃闼x的內(nèi)容。有人發(fā)現(xiàn)，讀后與朋友或同學(xué)談?wù)撍麄冏x過的內(nèi)容，可以有效地綜合理解所讀內(nèi)容。(拓展：)

　　Detine a reading schedule that works for you. You may find that you can't concentr on the mrial for more than an hour (or a half hour). Also select a time of the day when you are alert and ready to read。

　　7、安排一個適合自己的閱讀計劃表?？赡苣銜l(fā)現(xiàn)自己無法專心閱讀超過一小時(甚至半小時)，這時你就需要一個計劃。同時，還要注意挑選一天中思維清晰且適于閱讀是時候來讀。(拓展：)

　　Find a reading spot, where interruptions or distractions will not disturb your reading。

　　8、找到自己的“閱讀地點(diǎn)”，即那些不會打擾或分散你注意力的地方。(拓展：)

　　Practice. Practice. Practice. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading. Try out some of these techniques, and then pect the strgies that work best for you。
