What causes people to read slowly?

1) Single-word Eye Fixations—stopping your eyes on one word at a time.  (You can more than double your reading rate simply by learning to stop your eyes on groups of 3-5 words rather than on one word at a time.)
 
2) Sub-vocalization--moving your tongue or lips while reading silently. This habit makes it difficult to read any faster than you can talk.  It also makes reading unnecessarily tiring.
 
Note: Subvocalization is not the same thing as mental hearing.  Sub-vocalization is bad; hearing the words in your mind is good.
 
3) Micro-Regression--skipping back to an earlier word or line. Each time you regress, you present the author's words to your brain in the wrong order!  This habit not only slows you down; it is also terrible for your comprehension level.  Overcome this habit, and your speed and comprehension will both shoot up.

 
4) Macro-Regression--re-reading caused by daydreaming and loss of concentration.  Perhaps you can relate to this experience…
   
You read to the bottom of a page and as your hand moves down to flip it over, you suddenly realize, I have no clue what is on that page. I’m guess I have to read it again.
   
Have you ever had it happen several times on the same page?  You start thinking, I hate this page! I never want to see this page again, so I’m going to slow down and really concentrate.
   
Ironically, this problem is caused by reading too slowly in the first place! God designed your brain to receive information fast enough to hold your attention.  Imagine watching a movie at 1/2 speed or at 1/3 speed. Even if it’s a good movie, you probably won't think it's good.  A 2-hour movie would take 4-6 hours, and it would be difficult to stay focused when the information is coming at you so slowly.
   
Many people think reading is boring, but it’s just that they do it too slowly.  They are causing their own misery!
 
The solution? You can more than double your speed by making eye fixations on groups of words rather than on one word at a time.   As you speed up, it's like putting the movie on at the right speed!  You’ll have less trouble with daydreaming and loss of concentration.  Reading becomes much more engaging and interesting.
 
The "Double My Reading Speed" course will show you how to overcome all four habits in just four days. The course is enjoyable, and you will love the results.

What are the three stages of reading?
 
When children learn to read at about age 4 or 5, most sound out words by stopping their eyes on one letter at a time.  This is Stage 1 (using tunnel vision on each individual letter).
 
As young readers progress, they begin to stop their eyes on one word at a time.  Stage 2 (using tunnel vision on each individual word) is certainly a big improvement over Stage 1, but unfortunately, most people stay in Stage 2 for the rest of their lives!
 
People in this stage cannot read more than 240 words per minute, and they can easily feel overwhelmed by their reading load in school or on the job.  Many don't even realize that there is a third stage.
 
Stage 3 involves taking advantage of a gift God gave all of us: peripheral vision. Stage 3 means making eye fixations on groups of words rather than on one word at a time.
 
When you first start reading in Stage 3, your mind may say, "This is really weird.  I'm really flying, but can I go this fast and still comprehend as well as I used to?"
 
As long as this unwanted commentary is going on in your mind, your comprehension will probably nosedive.   The newness of the technique will distract you from what the author is trying to tell you. But you need to persevere!   After about 15-20 minutes, you'll start getting used to the new technique.  Then your brain will stop the unwanted commentary, and your comprehension will rebound because you will be able to focus fully on what the author is saying.
 
As the new technique becomes second nature to you, your effective reading rate will skyrocket.

When my reading speed goes up, will my comprehension go down?
  
Without proper training, an increase in speed will generally result in a drop in comprehension. Often, in their attempt to go fast, people resort to skimming…which involves skipping words and just going after the main points. Skimming is a useful technique when you don't need high comprehension. However, when you do, skimming is not a good strategy.
 
The "Double My Reading Speed" course will teach you to make eye fixations on meaningful groups of words, rather than on one word at a time. This technique gives both high speed and high comprehension. 
 
Some people fear they will not be able to comprehend as well if they stop their eyes on several words at a time, but just the opposite is true!  Words are easier to comprehend if you see them in context, rather than seeing just one word at a time.
