Surprise Bonus of Speed Reading
Why work so hard at achieving speed reading? It is a thought that comes to almost everyone at some point. We’ve been reading slowly since our childhood and could continue in the future as well, so what difference would it really make?
Well, along with an increase in reading speed, and improvement of reading comprehension, there's a surprise bonus: excellent writing and speaking skills. You'll be more fluent and more knowledgeable of the language than anyone you know.
Reading can tremendously affect your ability to communicate. In the communication process, reading and hearing skills are found on one end and speaking and writing stand at the other end. Your input and output of information through language both affect the strength of your communication skills overall.
Therefore, communication is inefficient when either of the skills is up to snuff. When learning to read well and especially when learning how to speed read, you are actually also learning how to speak and write well too.
When you practice reading regularly, you enhance your minds ability to think, interpret and understand. This vital quality of the mind is very much important while communicating. The practice of speed reading will eventually help you in interpreting the messages sent by the person communicating with you more efficiently.
Another advantage speed reading gives you is an enhanced vocabulary. Actually, this can also be achieved by a lot of regular reading too, but it's really not quite as pronounced an advantage in that case, because you would have to do 2 or 3 times as much regular reading as speed reading to get the same advantage.
When you read a lot of text; you obviously encounter hundreds of different words, many of which are new or unfamiliar. When your mind processes these texts, you begin to understand and familiarize yourself with those unfamiliar words automatically.
Eventually, once your familiarity of those words reaches a certain point, they are added to your "output" vocabulary, and you begin to implement those words in the stuff you say and write.
So, for those of you who think that the advantages of learning how to speed are not great enough, it's time to think over it again. Speed reading has numerous benefits; too many to list, in fact.
If you haven't got it already, get the Speed Reading Manual today.
