FASTER READING HINT OF THE DAY

< BACK

he Above-The-Line
         Hint


Right now, when you look at a line of print, you focus straight at it. Sometimes your eyes feel like they get stuck. Maybe you even focus on every single word.

You can read 20% faster by using this method:

  • Instead of staring straight on the line, off-center your focus by looking slightly higher on the line.
  • Focus between the top half of the letters and the space above the line.

This method is faster because instead of your eyes getting stuck on a word here and there as they do occasionally, your eyes will glide along the line without that happening. You will also find that you are automatically seeing the words as clusters instead of individually.

To help you remember how to do this, just think of how one of our graduates described it: he referred to this technique as "surfing along the line."

 Don't worry about exactly where your eyes are focusing as you try this. If you feel that your eyes are flowing as you read, you are doing this correctly.

You can surf both on hard copy and on the screen. Try it on this page.  Some people learn to read 100 words per minute faster with just this hint!

Use this as part of the "Layering Process."
