Instant NLP Help for Slow Reading

The student said:

"I'm a freshman in college and I often struggle with slow playback. I started reading when I was 4 years and always loved it. I was beginning to be affected by the speed at which I read when I was in the fourth year. I read very slowly, but he understood what I read. through high school, I began to find things on the way my brain processes. I do very well with the storage of things because I imagine in my mind. the colors and shapes come to mind every word, date or number of cons-examination. So when I remember the thing, which is a sequence of colors, is not a real word. This, I realized, was the cause of my slow reading. I had read every word and turn it into a color / shape. now I'm in college and my teachers have little sympathy for the slow playback. I find it hard, because the only way I can memorize things is to imagine, the conversion and processing of information, but for now I am far behind. I want to know if there is something wrong with me, or if it's just how I learn best. Is what I can do to make things faster or a way to make the most efficient synapses? "

And I advised him:
What can you do to make things faster? You have to use the screen to display words as images = words instead of colors or shapes [which is, not surprisingly, slow down!].

Start with ways to see normally. This is familiar and you're good at it.

Now you start to learn to see the shapes of words = what appears when you type.

To do this, you must observe a lot and carefully. Observe what the letters and then words that appear. Start with simple 3-letter words like cat, dog, fox, bedding, feathers, etc. Write each word on a separate A4 white paper, put the paper in front of his face at or slightly above eye level, and see the written word for 15 seconds. Then close your eyes. Do you see the word? Or it disappeared quickly? Or you see something? If you see the word, how do you see? The letters are enough to see comfortably large, but not so great that the whole word can not see? Are they on a background of a contrasting color? Are case sensitive? And if you tried to see the cards in the other case, there would be more or less comfortable? Experiment with this.

Can you write the word back and forth as I see it? If you can certainly see the word, what is important!

Is there something really wrong with you? Yes! You have become accustomed to seeing wrong to see the words. For words to see what you need to see the words. See shapes or colors is the wrong tool for the job. This is the only thing that happens to you. Absolutely nothing. And you can change the way your brain works! Be present at the time and really conscientious in working with yourself is the only way to go. Once you start to see words as words instead of colors or shapes, improve your browsing speed! fast readers recognize whole words as blocks in the back of their brains, not letter by letter. slow readers read slowly, because if they can see the letters to everyone watching letter by letter. We must view complete words and once well to this practice, your brain will automatically send them to the back.

His memory is another excellent fantastic asset that can be used here. photographic memory is the best type of memory can be - especially for words! So when a word is written on A4 paper, bring to eye level, look, take a picture of that word in your imagination. Learn to see the word as if it were a picture in your head. When you see the word as an image, you see as a block that I mentioned above.

Convenient. All these exercises are done here first to see words like blocks becomes automatic for you. Once you do, you read anyway so fast that you will not have time for all this. This will get you started on the right path - to teach the brain a new way of thinking.

And remember these tips:

Always keep any page you read in front of your face at or slightly above eye level. That's where the visual field is. Never hold the reading material in your lap, so you must be looking down to read! Never! Because you would not be in their feelings, which is the wrong tool for visual work is reading!

Each time you read, you feel both feet firmly on the ground. This will give the land and a greater sense of calm, security and safety.

As you read, do your best not subvocalize, ie not pronounce the words in his head. It also slow. If it does, great. This gradually teach you not to do it.
