To day i met with Dr.Rajreddy sir. He and remaining persons explained to us about Universal Digital Libraray project(UDL).
And to day i am introuducing to you one article is about how to reading speed with effectively.
Reading can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming if your speed is not as fast as you’d like it to be. An average reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute, but that rate can vary depending on the material and your reading experience. It’s also important to understand what you are reading—even when you improve your speed. If you can spare just 10 minutes a day over a 6 week period to read an easy paperback, you can improve your reading efficiency without a great deal of effort. Here’s how:
Day 1: Set your timer for 10 minutes.
Read as much as you can of your paperback during that time.
When the timer goes, stop reading and insert a paperclip at the top of the last page you read.
Then close the book and summarize out loud everything you remember reading.
Put your book away until the next day.
Day 2: Count the number of pages you read on Day 1 (from the beginning of the book to the paper clip you inserted). Then, starting at the paperclip:
Count off the same number of pages plus one more and insert a second paper clip.
Set your timer for 10 minutes and read fast enough to get through all the pages up to the second paper clip in the 10 minutes.
Now close your book and summarize out loud all that you remember.
Day 3 and after: Repeat the procedure for Day 2.
Increase by 1 the number of pages to read by counting them off and marking your target with a paper clip;
Read fast enough to cover all the pages up to the paper clip;
Close the book and summarize all you remember.
After a couple of weeks, increase the number of pages only every 2-3 days rather than every day.
Keep in mind...
1. Read everything. Don’t miss out on vital information in your pursuit of speed.
2. But 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.).
3. Find a reading spot where interruptions or distractions will not disturb your reading.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Get your eyes checked. Reading glasses may help.
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.
Choose a fiction or non-fiction paperback: one you’ve always wanted to read but just never had time to. It’s best to choose a book that you consider “easy reading” and one where you will be satisfied knowing only the main ideas and not all the details.
You will also need 2-3 paper clips and a stop-watch or timer.Day 1: Set your timer for 10 minutes.
Read as much as you can of your paperback during that time.
When the timer goes, stop reading and insert a paperclip at the top of the last page you read.
Then close the book and summarize out loud everything you remember reading.
