Learning to read sentences instead of words is the key to speed reading. Most people can learn to do this in just over 2.5 hours. In such a short time they can double their reading speed. Let’s learn how to do this in this article.
When you first learn to read, you learn to read words one letter at a time. For example, dog is initially seen by your brain as a series of letters DO G. You say each letter out loud and pronounce them to create the word dog.
The same can be done with the hot word. At first it looks like three separate letters. However, when you put the letters together you get the word hot. This is where it starts to get interesting. What happens when you put the word hot in front of the word dog?
The word hot dog is not hot nor is it a dog. Instead, his brain perceives these two separate words as a single unit of meaning. He is now reading a short sentence instead of individual words. Let’s look at another example that is even longer.
Let’s see the name of this country. This country is called the United States of America. Notice that the county name consists of four separate words: United, States, Of, and America. Your brain doesn’t look at these four separate words and feels like it’s overwhelmed. Instead, you see these four separate words as a single phrase, the name of the USA.
By training yourself to see larger and larger groups of words as individual sentences, you can easily see how your reading speed would increase dramatically. It is easy to learn and only takes a few hours to achieve. Try it. You are going to like the results you experience.
