This text is an abridged version of the 10-Day Fast Reading book.If you read the way we were taught in school - word by word - it will take a lot of time, which is never enough. Fortunately, there are speed reading techniques that allow you to study a large amount of literature. We emphasize that it is to study, that is, to highlight and remember the main thing, and not just to look through. One method of speed reading is offered by Abby Marks-Beal, Corporate Reading Education Consultant (www.TheCorporateEducator.com), professional trainer (Speed Reading Curriculum Website: www.RevItUpReading.com). Her ideas are presented in a book commissioned by the Princeton Language Institute (New Jersey), which publishes literature for self-education.Abby Marks-Beal's method is aimed at getting rid of habits that slow down reading, learning to concentrate and manage your peripheral vision. The eyes are the windows through which our brain looks at the world. If the eyes read one word at a time, then the brain processes one word at a time. If you open the windows wider, then more information will enter the brain. At first, you may feel discomfort, there may be problems understanding the text. However, this is just a tuning period; after training, the brain gets used to processing information in larger chunks. As a result, the reading speed will double, and the understanding of the text will even improve. In other words, you will be able to read a text twice as long as it is now in the same time and get more pleasure from this process.The only limitation of any speed reading method is that they are all suitable only for professional literature and journalism . They should not be used for reading works of art, because the purpose of such reading is not so much to obtain information as to enjoy and reflect. In work, speed reading is extremely useful.We remind you that this text is a summary of the book
