What I do is simply start scanning the text of a post a bit faster than I normally read, and don't stop or slow down - even if I don't feel I'm absorbing it all - until I reach the end of the paragraph or post. What I've found is that, by the time I reach the end, I understand the context and idea of the information being presented. Also, I'm not really allowing myself to fully read each whole sentence, but watch for patterns... sounds weird but seems to work for me.The key for me was to not stop until the end of the paragraph or article. My worst problem reading anything outside of a novel is that I fail to keep my attention focused. This causes me to have to go back and re-read a sentence or two over - several times! This method seems to help me focus on what I'm doing and, as such, allows me to get the marrow from the bone as it were.Not sure that this explains it very well. I've only been trying this for about two weeks - though with good success.Regards,Rick Hi Kent!Well I’ll try to explain my “speed reading” a bit more.
