Preview the material you’re going to read. Look at main headings, chapter divisions, and other relevant material-to develop clues about the structure of the work.

　　1、先預覽一下你的閱讀材料。注意主標題、章節分配、和其他相關材料，旨在構筑閱讀材料的結構布局。

　　Adjust your reading speed as you read the material. Slow down when you need to be sure that you comprehend a section of material. Speed up if you are already familiar with (or don’t need to know) other sections.

　　2、在閱讀的同時調整閱讀速度。對于需要理解領會的篇章，放慢速度;而對于已熟知(或不需要知道)的內容，快速讀過。

　　Readers can dramatically improve their reading speeds by taking in several words in the line of text at one time (instead of sounding out each word, or focusing on each letter of the word. Computer programs like Speed Reader or Rapid Reader are designed to help readers improve reading speeds with flashing letters and words. You may also want to learn more about other techniques.

　　3、可以通過一次在一行里讀數個詞的方法，來顯著提高閱讀速度，而不是逐字逐句去讀出那些詞來。有些軟件，如“速讀”和“快讀”，就是專門設計通過閃爍字母和單詞來提高人們閱讀速度的。或許你還需要學習其他一些技巧來達到這點。

　　Another way to improve your reading speed is to focus on the key words in the sentences. A significant amount of reading time is wasted on conjunctions, prepositions, or articles (i.e. a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but, etc.).

　　4、提高閱讀速度的另一個方法是，注意句子中的關鍵詞。我們在連詞、介詞和冠詞上浪費了太多時間，如：a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but等。

　　Use a pacer like a pen or your finger-as a focal point to draw your eye across the line or down the page. A pacer can help you increase your speed and reduce re-reading. A pacer can also help you to keep track of what you are reading.

　　5、使用“節奏器”，例如一支筆或手指，以在閱讀一行或一頁時，形成一種注視焦點。節奏器不僅能幫你提高速度，還能避免重復閱讀，并協助了解閱讀內容。

　　Talk about what you’ve read. Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends or fellow students, they are able to effectively synthesize the material.

　　6、談論你所讀的內容。有人發現，讀后與朋友或同學談論他們讀過的內容，可以有效地綜合理解所讀內容。

　　Determine a reading schedule that works for you. You may find that you can’t concentrate on the material for more than an hour (or a half hour). Also select a time of the day when you are alert and ready to read.

　　7、安排一個適合自己的閱讀計劃表。可能你會發現自己無法專心閱讀超過一小時(甚至半小時)，這時你就需要一個計劃。同時，還要注意挑選一天中思維清晰且適于閱讀是時候來讀。

　　Find a reading spot, where interruptions or distractions will not disturb your reading.

　　8、找到自己的“閱讀地點”，即那些不會打擾或分散你注意力的地方。

　　Practice. Practice. Practice. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading. Try out some of these techniques, and then perfect the strategies that work best for you.

　　9、練習、練習、再練習。提高閱讀速度的最好方法，就是練習。嘗試上述方法，再結合自己完善它們。
