Yes, the author of Speed Reading told you that there are ways to read. And "Fast Reading" is really reliable.
The author of this book is Christian Gruning, who works as a lawyer.
Like most of us, Glening was not a person who loves reading at first, but also a person who reads little and is inefficient.
but later, in the process of preparing for the bar exam, he found that there are ways to read. As long as we master the correct methods, everyone can swim in the ocean of books as they please.
So, he wrote "Fast Reading" as a book for everyone to share.
after reading this book, I found that reading has its underlying logic.
2.1 reading is a combination of eye movement and brain movement
I can often see such a person: I have just finished reading a book, and he has already read twenty books.
In addition to reading methods and skills, this actually shows that such people have developed eye movements. Because, reading, we often say "reading", is to scan the words and pictures on paper or on the screen with our eyes.
and this difference is because some people may read ten lines at a time; Most people, a few lines at a time.
But the meaning of reading is not only to browse with your eyes, but also to internalize the contents of the book in your heart and externalize them in your lines. Therefore, reading is still a brain exercise.
2.2 reading has a purpose
when a person reads aimlessly, then if he is given a hundred books, he will just flip through them and can't read them.
when a person studies with a goal, he can not only get into his eyes, but also get into his heart.
For example, the cinema is a popular place for young people to date. Before I tried to write a book review, my husband took me to the cinema. I didn't know what the movie was about after watching it. I can fall asleep when I meet something I don't like.
but when I tried to write a book review and film review, my husband and I went to the cinema again, and I was different. Whether I like the film or not, I will watch it very carefully. Because, I want to find valuable material from the film and then turn it into an article.
reading is the same. For example, during this time, I am in a bad mood. At this time, there is a set of jokes in my hand, so reading this book is absolutely wolfing down.
2.3 The reading ability depends on the pool of understanding.
There are many categories of books, such as economics, management, history, literature, comics, classics of Chinese studies, family education, physical celestial bodies, science fiction ...
Let me take myself as an example. It is relatively easy for me to read family education books, and I also read them faster. Because I like family education books best, and in the process of reading family education books, I gradually established and formed my own knowledge system in the field of family education.
I read science fiction novels, such as Liu Cixin's The Wandering Earth and the complete set of Three-body, which is particularly arduous, especially slow, and even finished in a daze. Because I don't like science fiction, and I haven't established or formed a knowledge system in this field.
so, yes, the reading ability is as strong as the pool of understanding is.
2.4 reading speed and reading quantity
in the process of reading, the reading speed is also affected by the reading quantity. The more you read, the faster you read, and the more you can find your own direction.
I know this very well. I finished reading 64 paper books and 13 e-books in 221.
at first, I also chose books aimlessly because I didn't know what I was going to read. But later, I read more and more books, and I found that family education, classics of Chinese studies, biographies of people, original works of classic TV dramas and world literary masterpieces were my favorites.
the reading speed is the same. I remember Mr. Fan Deng once said, "When you finish reading 5 books, the reading speed will be faster unconsciously". Yes, I don't know when my reading speed suddenly became faster.
In the book Fast Reading, Gruning divides reading the whole book into three steps. But I think it should be five steps.
3.1 Make clear the reading goal before reading
A person who has no goal is terrible. Similarly, people who have no reading goals are terrible. Therefore, before reading every book, we should be clear about our reading goals.
for example, speed reading. Why should I read this book? How important is this book to me? What information do I want to get? Where am I going to apply what I have learned?
Yes, I want to know "Is speed reading really reliable?". Now it seems that it is reliable; At the same time, you can also write a review or book review by the way; What can make me feel like a book review or a book review is the information I want to get; I intend to apply what I have learned to reading and writing.
That's why I read Gruning's Speed Reading, and it's also my goal.
3.2 read the whole book extensively and grasp the overall context
I actually have a reading habit, that is, I open a book and read its preface, table of contents and postscript first. Because the author's real purpose in writing this book is reflected in these three parts.
For example, Teacher Li Yueer's Critical Help in Critical Period. There are six chapters in this book. The first chapter, knowing children; Chapter two, key help in critical period; Chapter three, how to choose a kindergarten; Chapter four, how to adapt to kindergarten; Chapter five, the misunderstanding of love; Chapter six, help children build an independent and complete personality system.
In fact, the focus of this book is the second chapter, the key help in the critical period.
3.3 combination of fast reading and repeated intensive reading
every time you read the same book, you will get different results. Classic books, in particular, are often read and updated.
In 222, I set myself a reading goal: the main line is to read the Li Yueer series ten times; The sub-line is also an e-book with WeChat reading, as well as books in the 365 parents' reading group, and of course other paper books are interspersed.
Of course, I have finished reading Children are Feet and Education is Shoes for ten times, and I am reading Critical Help for the second time.
yes, the more you read, the deeper your experience.
3.4 Review the knowledge points, systematically understand me before the book
, and have the habit of reading and underlining; But these two years, I have changed.
Because every book is a complete knowledge system, underlining will destroy the understanding of the integrity of the core content in the book.
especially novels.
For example, liujing's novella "Parents Love" may contain famous sayings and aphorisms, but it really doesn't matter; What's really important is that from the CCTV variety "China of the Story", I saw that "Parents' Love" is a tribute to the classics, to the parents, to the soldiers who guard the island from generation to generation, and to the military wives who guard the island from generation to generation.
3.5 After reading, the output is forced to input
I always think that sharing, writing, telling books and copying are the best ways to force the output to input.
Yes, starting from 221, I will send a circle of friends after reading a book. Since 222, every time I finish reading a book, I will write it as a book review.
Actually, in the process of sending friends and writing book reviews, I have combed the knowledge points of the book I just finished again and deepened my understanding of the book I just finished reading.
In addition, it is the prejudice against * * * reading groups.
Some people prefer to read by themselves; However, I think that joining the reading group is also a good way to learn. If we study together, raise children together, discuss together and grow together, we will learn more and make faster progress.
Just like the resumption week of the first month of the first season of our 365 parents' reading group before the Spring Festival.
I chose Critical Help in Critical Period. We talked about the "pits" that fell on the way to parenting, and also shared the knowledge points in the book (the key help in the critical period), which really gained a lot. And I happen to be the mother of a 1-2-year-old material girl, and I just apply what I have learned.
So, I'm not angry with the child who litters, but let her explore freely within the scope of ensuring safety.
In this book, Gruning also mentioned some gadgets to help people read quickly.
For example, for people who are easy to serial, finding a ruler is a better way than reading. There is also a visual card. Knowledge cards and visual cards are the best ways to help understand knowledge points.
Actually, in this Internet age and information age, there are many ways to assist reading, such as mind mapping.
finally, whether it is fast reading or slow reading, we should keep doing it. Because reading is a lifetime thing.
