Set a clear purpose before reading
Preview headings, subheadings, and summaries first
Eliminate distractions
Use a pointer like a finger, pen, or cursor to guide your eyes
Read in phrases instead of word by word
Reduce subvocalization
Focus on key words and main ideas
Skip filler words when possible
Increase reading pace gradually
Practice with easy material before harder texts
Expand your peripheral vision for larger word groups
Avoid backtracking unless necessary
Take brief notes on main points
Summarize each section in your own words
Time your reading sessions
Practice consistently every day
