HOW TO LEARN

Learning only begins with being able to interface with the material. Interfacing happens in only several  ways. For instance, you can listen to a tape to learn, you can watch a program, or you can read the  material.

It is no wonder that the best folks who learn are the ones who read the best. Those who are capable of  assimilating more reading material both in time (i.e. being able to read faster) and those who can  effectively take in the material are at an advantage at learning.

Speed reading technique #1

Before you can learn the skill of speed reading you must first train your eyes. Your eyes are situated  in a set of muscles. And just like any other muscle in your body you must work them and exercise them if  you look to learn the technique of speed reading. Eye movement is critical to the whole learning  process.

To train your muscle do the following exercise:

STEP 1: Take a book preferably something like a novel with no pictures - however you can really use any  material on hand. Speed reading doesn't limit you to any particular reading material. The techniques  will help you read anything quickly.

STEP 2: Now scan each line of your reading material starting from the left to the right. When scanning  don't read the words. You simply want to keep your eyes on the line steadily.

STEP 3: As soon as you finish one line move to the next line and do the same.

STEP 4: When scanning each line try to ensure that you see each word. Again don't read it

STEP 5: Continue with each line until you get to the end of the page then go to the next page.

STEP 6: Scan each line as fast as you can

STEP 7: Continue the exercise for approximately 5 minutes.

You should come back to this exercise as often as you can. If you can go longer than 5 minutes I  encourage you to do so.
