Read fast and even faster

tldr; read using peripheral vision

  1. Use peripheral vision. Instead of reading from the beginning of the line to the end of line, “Indent” your start and end reading point. (by a word, then 2, then 3)
  2. Control tracking. Use your finger to control the tracking of your eyes from bounce back. [ 2 fixation points per line ]
  3. For 10 minutes, go at a pace so fast that you lose 10% of comprehension (this is “too fast”). Then come back, the normal will feel slow, and a slightly faster will feel normal.

I can read at fics at 160wpm - 190wpm on average - only if my head is clear. Otherwise, I’d be down to 120wpm. Maybe both are slow…, tell me your speed.
