Who needs speed reading?
There is no point in reading fast if, in the end, you have no idea of what it is that you have read about.
It is possible to double or even triple your reading speed. But you might want to think about the benefits that you will gain from it.
Here are some situations wherein you can actually apply this skill, and the people who will benefit from the wonders of speed reading:
1. For students.
As a high school or college student, you would have tons of written material to go through as you increase your level of education.
Speed reading comes in handy when you equate it with 90% comprehension, as the knowledge gained will help you in the course of the field that you have chosen.
The principles of having a photographic memory and visual stimulation, which most speed reading courses require, may be used to your benefit.
2. In business.
As a clerk or an executive, you have tons of memos and material to go through everyday. Also, you have to read to keep up with the latest in the industry that you are involved in.
Speed reading will help you in this aspect, as it will allow you to remember and swiftly read over facts and documents which might be vital for your business.
3. People with reading disabilities.
About 10 to 15 percent of all children have a reading disability. This means that they read slower than what they are capable of mentally.
In these cases, the principles of speed reading may be applied to reduce or significantly improve their learning and comprehension.
4. People with attention-deficit disorder (ADD).
Speed reading actually forces one's mind to run through the page of a book with such speed that you would not have time to get bored. This is a great idea to apply for people with ADD, as their attention would not have time to wander.
In the end, speed reading is a skill to be applied only when necessary. Who would want to lounge on the beach and have to carry 10 books because you are just skimming through it? This would make you lose the pleasure that was meant to be derived form the author's written prose.
Just make sure that if you decide to pursue speed reading, you know the reason why you would want to apply this skill. Also, have a specific idea of what "reading" actually means to you.
