Try out the software emulation of an "Old Style
Reading Projector" to increase your reading speed and
comprehension.
You can adjust the speed. Work up to a reading speed
where you are unable to comprehend the article. That's
when your mind begins to process and learn
more! It's frustrating at first, but keep at it, as there
will be an "aha" moment.
Begin with this article
of 169 words. It takes 30 seconds to start your road to better,
more enjoyable reading!
This article, though, will likely trip you up. It contains
"folksy" sentences, questions that you want to pause to answer,
and "hmm" vocalizations. Just read as fast as you can. Don't
silently "speak" the words.
Here's another 32-second read at 325 words per minute. It contains
simple facts.
Welcome to ed20TM, the 20-minute learning method
based on current research from Learning How to Learn.
The technique:
First, place your fist of one hand into the palm of the other and say "palmadoro."
Begin learning without any distractions or interuptions for 20-minutes.
When 20-minutes is up, interlace your fingers of both hands, "weaving" your learning into stable memory.
Finally, open your hands like you are giving a gift and recite back what you learned in your own words.
That's how you may change your life through learning!
All the best,
Brenda, Editor
ps - I "learned how to learn" a year ago and put it to work on
Verizon Skill Forward. I was
able to complete entire courses that would take weeks in just days with
passing grades.
