USING SPEEDREADING ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE READING SKILLS
Abstract
This article examines the scientific foundations and practical applications of speed reading activities to enhance reading skills. Techniques such as chunking, paced reading, subvocalization suppression, peripheral vision expansion, and skimming/scanning exercises are explored to improve reading speed and comprehension. Each activity is supported by cognitive and neuroscientific research, while also addressing limitations and the need for balance in speed reading practice. The article emphasizes consistent practice and progress monitoring to transform speed reading into an effective tool for academic and professional success.
