reading with concentration

. Don't worry about how quickly you are reading but instead, concentrate on reading the line in only three fixations.

.As this becomes more natural, practise without drawing lines.

.Later, reduce the number of fixations to two per line.

.Once this increased word span becomes a comfortable habit, an increase in your reading speed will occur.

.Have a clear focus for your reading. Set your reading goals

.Use a form of note taking whilst reading in detail, to keep you concentrating, aid understanding and provide you with a record of your reading.

.Using clear reading goals and a variety of reading skills is more important than increasing your reading speed.

.To improve your reading speed, don't increase the speed of the eye across the page, but increase the number of words the eye recognises in a single fixation.

This is useful because it shows you effective techniques for effecting reading in concentration and it describes how to read quickly as well. The advantage of reading with concentration is that you can clearly understand a piece of text; this is effective because it shows how well I understand my chosen subject which is emotional abuse. The disadvantage of this is that it takes up valuable time; this is effective because I will read a lot of texts in a short amount of time.  This will help my project because I will be able to read effectively when looking over a piece text about emotional abuse.
