Becoming a Faster Reader in College
Becoming a Faster Reader in College
If you somehow managed to squeak by as a poor reader in high school, prepare yourself for a rude awakening in college. Even if you pursue a degree program that is math and science-heavy, you will not be able to avoid a few courses in literature, English composition and in the general humanities that are writing and reading-intensive, at least if you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Here we will provide an overview of some basic tips to help you become a faster, more effective reader in college.
Something that can really slow you down as a reader is lip-reading, or reading out loud as you read. Most students form this reading habit early on, and don’t even realize they are doing it. Talking is a much slower process than reading, which should only involve your eyes and brain. Taking the extra time to move your lips, even if you are not making a sound, slows you down significantly whether you realize it or not. So zip those lips and begin to let your eyes do the work.
