If you are like most speed readers, then you know that your ability can sometimes feel like a super power. Being able to flip through pages and take in information effortlessly enables you to get an edge in today's knowledge-driven world. Did you know there is a simple technique that help you increase your reading speed even higher with better comprehension? This article will explain how learning effective writing strategies can enhance and take your reading skills to a entirely different level of proficiency.
Let's get started.
When you think about it, reading is the inputting of information from text into your brain. Writing is the inverse. It takes information that is in your mind, and takes it outside to a document. It makes perfect sense that learning a skill that outputs information would contain secrets you can user for inputting information, and it turns out this is completely true.
As a professional writer, I have learned how to transform ideas into printed text. It is actually more complex than it appears at first for a very good reason. About 85% of all communication is non-verbal. Your gestures, voice patterns, inflections all impact how information is interpreted. Let me give you a specific example.
Suppose I wrote, "thank you very much. I really appreciate what you just did." How does your brain interpret this simple line of text? You probably read this as a positive and sincere compliment. Let me make a simple change by creating some context to the statement, and then read the same information.
Staring in disbelief, he could hardly believe the vile behavior shown by someone he completely trusted. Someone he would have trusted with his life. Yet their betrayer was undeniable. His face showed disbelief, anger, betrayal, and hurt as he spoke his words in a condescending and insincere tone: "thank you very much. I really appreciate what you just did."
Notice what just happened? The meaning of the words completely changed because of the context they were used. Writers learn a variety of techniques for capturing information to make it easier for others to understand. They know that without any non-verbal clues this information can often become distorted by a reader's brains. So how can you use this information to improve your reading speed and comprehension?
Study the techniques used by authors to transfer information from their minds to your own. As you become more conscious of the strategies and techniques they are using, you become capable of seeing the nuances that can greatly effect meaning in text. This simple action can improve both your reading speed and your comprehension while speed reading. As an added bonus, it also makes you a better communicator as you begin to understand how to make your ideas and thoughts easier for others to interpret.
