But, it&#8217;s likely that you could get far more out of what you read. Improving reading efficiency is not only about increasing speed; it\u2019s about optimizing your comprehension\u2014understanding what you read and remembering it later. Focusing solely on increasing your reading speed can easily <em>harm<\/em> your comprehension. The authors recommend three pieces of advice on how to read and understand effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Scientific research supports the authors&#8217; claim that <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/stoken\/rbtfl\/0GSjhNaccRKTY\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there\u2019s a trade-off between speed and accuracy when it comes to reading<\/a>. Doubling or tripling reading speed from the normal rate (around 250 words per minute to 500-750 words per minute) may not allow readers to comprehend the text as thoroughly as they would at a normal pace. However, speed reading or skimming could be helpful for readers who prioritize getting through the text quickly over understanding it completely. To increase reading speed while maintaining high comprehension, you should improve your language skills, such as by expanding your vocabulary because language skill is a key factor in reading quickly with high comprehension.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Preview the Text<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preview the text before reading it in detail.<\/strong> Getting a big-picture view of the text, its organization, and the overall themes will prepare your mind for what is coming and make it easy to comprehend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Read Actively<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To read actively, practice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/active-recall-studying\/\">active recall<\/a> by asking yourself to restate key concepts as you read. Highlighting can also help you read actively, but only when you review what you\u2019ve highlighted the next day\u2014your brain doesn\u2019t build neural connections in your long-term memory unless you review your highlights after some time has passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Annotate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another active reading strategy is annotation. As you read, write down comments and questions that come to mind. In your own words, note key concepts and their relationships, and then, in the end, write a small summary of what you read. Annotating as you go makes reviewing and referring back to the text easier. It also helps transfer the information into your long-term memory for quality learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The authors\u2019 reading tips above are a part of the broader reading strategy outlined by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-read-a-book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>How to Read a Book<\/em><\/a>.
