Most people believe that good readers fixate on each letter in a word in order to comprehend what is being read. The article below clearly demonstrates that the brain can easily decode and comprehend the message of the text without having each letter of a word in the correct order. This is possible because our brain is wired to search for and understand the meaning of what is read rather than being concerned with the exact letter placement of a word. Fixating on every letter while reading only serves to drastically reduce your reading speed. This example demonstrates that you can read the left hand text because your are looking at words, not letters. Fluent reading and good comprehension is possible without processing every letter!
Most people believe that it is easier to concentrate when reading slowly. Actually, concentration is not a matter of willpower but a matter of reading at the proper speed. It is hard to concentrate when things are happening slower than the speed of your thoughts. Most readers believe that reading faster will significantly lower their ability to comprehend well. The truth is that good comprehension only depends on whether you can extract and retain the information you read. Some people read fast and comprehend well; others read slowly and comprehend poorly. What we do know today is that Fluent Reading, effective and efficient speed reading, has a direct relationship to increased comprehension.
Most people believe they enjoy what they are reading when they read slowly. Quite the opposite is true! Fluent readers have a better appreciation of what they read. Reading effectively and efficiently allows the words to lift off the page and create their own movie in their mind. This “movie making” allows the reader to “own” the content and easily recall it when necessary. The average readers (180 – 220 WPM) rereads up to 67% of what they read to regain comprehension. That's why fluent readers typically enjoy the book version more than the actual movie!
