Speed Reading | 
I need to read faster...
PurpleyPumpkin Wow, just imagine how many books we could get through in a lifetime if we could read this quickly! But would we truly absorb and enjoy what we‘re reading?🤔 5y
Megabooks My parents offered to send me to a speed reading course in the 5th grade. It is one of my biggest regrets that I didn‘t do it! 5y
julesG @PurpleyPumpkin That is what I've been wondering about a lot. I can speed read non-fiction, journals, etc. But that's for research, I take notes, or am just looking for specific information. When I try the techniques on fiction, I soon get FOMO and go back to the start. 5y

TrishB Wow 😮 that‘s warp speed! 5y
PurpleyPumpkin @julesG Exactly! Every time I‘ve considered taking a speed reading course, I‘ve ended up taking a pass because I‘m concerned that my reading enjoyment would be affected. But, it would still be a useful skill to have in certain instances, like for work. Maybe someday... 5y
Scochrane26 Speed reading would be nice for work-related things, but I wouldn‘t want to use it for pleasure reading. Would we feel the same emotions? Don‘t think we would get the same enjoyment or be able to process emotions. 5y
Maewyn I just watched a YouTube video about speed reading and it basically said that while people can learn to read faster they lose comprehension when they read faster than their normal pace. I suppose it is good for things that you "have" to read but I struggle with remembering plot even with going slow. ? 5y
