Preview the material you're going to read. Look at main headings, chapter divisions, and other relevant material--to develop clues about the structure of the work.
1、先预览一下你的阅读材料。注意主标题、章节分配、和其他相关材料，旨在构筑阅读材料的结构布局。
Adjust your reading speed as you read the material. Slow down when you need to be sure that you comprehend a section of material. Speed up if you are already familiar with (or don't need to know) other sections.
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. Computer programs like Speed Reader or Rapid Reader are designed to help readers improve reading speeds with flashing letters and words. You may also want to learn more about other techniques.
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、提高阅读速度的另一个方法是，注意句子中的关键词。我们在连词、介词和冠词上浪费了太多时间，如：a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but等。
Use a pacer like a pen 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.
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 material.
6、谈论你所读的内容。有人发现，读后与朋友或同学谈论他们读过的内容，可以有效地综合理解所读内容。
Determine a reading schedule that works for you. You may find that you can’t concentrate on the material for more than an hour (or a half hour). Also select a time of the day when you are alert and ready to read.
Practice. Practice. Practice. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading. Try out some of these techniques, and then perfect the strategies that work best for you.
