EFFICIENT READING

my reason

• Reading has always been my passion since 1st grade. 
• Although I am not a slow reader, I want to become much faster.
• I will be able to experience adventures in a shorter amount of time.
• Also, it will help me greatly throughout my academic career.

What was my process?

• I first began by researching what to avoid when trying to read.
• Then, I researched the good habits to have when reading. 
• Next, I looked deeply into various ways I can increase my speed.
• Lastly, I found how to pace myself when reading.

For the future

• I plan on continuing my journey in becoming a faster reader.
• I want to take more tests to increase my speed throughout my school life. 
• By the end of eighth grade, my goal is to reach at least 900 wpm.

what to avoid

• Sub-vocalization
• Regression
• Multi-tasking when reading

how do you increase your reading speed?

• You can take online courses that tell you what you do and don't do right.
• Also, you should train your eyes to be able to analyze information quickly.
• The main method I used was the PX Project.

THE PX PROJECT

• Minimizes the number and duration of fixations per line to decrease time
• Eliminates regression and back-skipping to increase speed
• Has 4 "workouts" consisting of different methods to help increase speed

HOW DO YOU PACE YOURSELF?

• 4 main methods:
• The Hand Method
• The Card Method
• The Hop
• The Sweep
