I personally think that for students with slow reading speed, it is necessary to improve the reading quality and critical reading aibility based on the improvement of reading speed. What do you think about?
I agree with you. It might take long time and lot of trainings to be a fast reader with critical reading comprehension.
Critical reading is a more ACTIVE way of reading. It is a deeper and more complex engagement with a text. Critical reading is a process of analyzing, interpreting and, sometimes, evaluating. When we read critically, we use our critical thinking skills to QUESTION both the text and our own reading of it. Different disciplines may have distinctive modes of critical reading (scientific, philosophical, literary, etc).
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.
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 sectionsp.
I think we should simply scan the full text and focus on the beginning and end of each paragraph. When we encounter unknown words, we can skip them for a while and then contact the context to guess. Of course, the speed of reading needs a process.
I think we can try to ask some questions when reading, such as: why is this? What is its theoretical basis? Of course, we should consciously exercise our reading speed when we are reading.
1.When we read, we should concentrate so that we can improve the speed.
2.We need to scan the title quickly,it could be able to know the general meaning.
3.Skip key words. When we read, we should pay attention to the key words such as prepositions, conjunctions, or emphasis words, so that reading can save a lot of time.
4.Guess the meaning of words. When we read an article or a book, words that we don't know can be guessed by context, word structure, relationship.
I think that you should pay attention to repeated words, conjunctions and infection words. What's more,reading with questions may be helpful since you have goals.
I think to improve our reading speed,the most important way is to memorize more English words,phrase,and master more English fixed sentences,have a better know of English grammar.And all of these are the basic way.And next step is trying to do more English readings, grasp the key words of the reading.As we all know that,practice makes perfect! Hope everyone can master an efficient and special reading skills.Good luck!
When we read the intensive articles, we should make notes of the new words and phrases and good sentences. After reading them, we may ask ourselves some questions about them by using such words: Who, What, Why, When and Where. Then try to answer them in our own words.
