Speed Reading for my class
students need to understand the skill of speed reading, especially in history. An easy way to learn this skill is to do the reading for each class lecture. Open your book to the section, then read the intro paragraph for each section (everytime the font changes in the book). After you read the intro paragraph, you should have a general idea of what the section is going to be about. For all the other paragraphs, at the least, you should read to topic and conclusion sentences. Aslo if there is a word in bold, you should read the info around that word. This is a simple way to get through the reading. You should always take notes along with your reading or put sticky notes in your text book and take notes that way. At least twice a unit I will give quizes based off of speed reading the required reading myself.
