In this video, I'll teach you to read faster than everyone around you.
2
As a learning coach for the past 13 years and as a former medical doctor,
3
I'll show you the strategies that I use to double my reading speed while improving my comprehension, even for dense textbooks and research articles.
4
If you want to read faster, the most important thing you have to realize is that words per minute do not matter.
5
What matters is the level of comprehension you have after reading.
6
But what does level of comprehension even mean?
7
Most people say that if you've read something and then you understand what you read, you've comprehended it.
8
But there's a difference between understanding something enough to answer a
9
simple question about it versus being able to write an entire dissertation about it.
10
And so comprehension is not this binary thing.
11
It's not how fast can you read and did you comprehend it?
12
It's how fast can you read and what level, what depth of comprehension were you able to achieve?
13
And I found that the reason most people struggle to read faster
14
while maintaining comprehension is that they're using the wrong level of reading strategy for the level of comprehension they need.
15
So in this video, I'll show you the four levels of comprehension and the fastest reading strategy for each level.
16
These strategies will not only increase your words per minute, but also allow you to remember, understand, and apply what you've read.
17
So starting with the first level comprehension
18
which is literal literal comprehension is just word for word understanding
19
if you buy a piece of furniture and you need to assemble it
20
and read the instructions you need just a literal level of comprehension
21
and there are actually a lot of speed reading techniques
22
that help you with this first level of comprehension a lot of people talk about this idea of sub vocalization
23
or stopping sub vocalization sub vocalization is when you're reading something
24
and you sort of mutter the words out as you're speaking
25
or you could even be saying it in your head
26
but also means that your reading speed is limited to how fast you can mouth out the words
27
or how fast you can say it inside your head and
28
so some techniques focus on stopping
29
that sub vocalization there are other techniques such as grouping words together
30
so instead of reading one word at a time you're actually reading two
31
or three or four or five words in one go
32
and you can use these strategies
33
and train yourself to read at over a thousand words per minute
34
which is about seven or eight times faster than the average university student.
35
And I actually did that.
36
When I was 17, I spent summer holidays just training my reading speed.
37
And my comprehension was like 80 to 90%.
38
Unfortunately, it was only 80 to 90 % at this first literal level,
39
which is actually the least valuable and least transferable level.
40
Because if you're doing any type of learning or studying or advanced reading, literal understanding alone is just not going to get you very far.
41
And so So personally, I think there's only one strategy in common speed reading techniques
42
that actually is valuable at increasing your reading speed for this level
43
while also being something that helps you at every level beyond it.
44
And that strategy is something called smart skimming.
45
Smart skimming is where you take a piece of text and instead of just reading it linearly first,
46
you're going to scan through it to look for the headings, subheadings, bolded words, anything that sticks out at you that it might be more important.
47
And by skimming through, you're going to get a general understanding about what this is talking about.
48
Now, I call it smart skimming because you should control when to go faster and skim and when to slow down.
49
For example, if you see a heading that you think is really important, then slow down to read it and then read the paragraph underneath it
50
and then skim through until you see the next thing that could be important and then slow down to read that.
51
You can also apply this for a single sentence where there might be half of a sentence
52
which is kind of just filler words but there are only a few keywords
53
and if you just know those keywords you can get a sense for what it's talking about.
54
And so by doing this you don't sacrifice your comprehension really at all
55
but you can increase your words per minute by maybe 30 to 50 percent straight off the bat.
56
As I said this is a great strategy not only to just get literal comprehension
57
but an overall great reading strategy that you can use for any level of comprehension.
58
Now, for most of you, you're already going to be beyond level one and you're going to be on at least level two.
59
Level two is implied.
60
Implied comprehension is about being able to not only understand it literally, but then read between the lines.
61
You're able to read a passage and say, it literally said this, but I think it was also suggesting this and this and this.
62
You can form additional conclusions beyond what was just explicitly explained to you.
63
This is also the level at which you usually feel that you've properly understood the thing that you've read.
64
But this also introduces a danger because just because you've understood something
65
that you've read at the time when you've read it doesn't mean
66
that you're going to be able to remember that later or
67
that you're going to be able to use that information in whatever way you need to use it.
68
Two weeks later when you're trying to explain it to someone else you only remember
69
that at the time you understood it but the actual facts and concepts themselves slightly escape you.
70
A lot of people will just chalk this up to having a bad memory,
71
but actually this is just a side effect of stopping at level two comprehension.
72
At this level, you tend to be able to understand what you're reading.
73
However, you don't necessarily have a great memory or a great depth of mastery,
74
which means that you can't necessarily apply this information for complex problem solving or decision -making.
75
Now, the thing that allows you to achieve level two comprehension is actually just language fluency.
76
And so this is not a difficult level to achieve, especially if you're a native speaker.
77
Having said that, if you're not a native speaker of the language or you're tackling a level of reading with very,
78
very technical words, written in a very complicated way that you're not used to,
79
then the fastest strategy to unlock this level more consistently is going to be immersion.
80
Immersion just refers to exposing yourself to this language at the level that you need by reading more widely and more often.
81
Building fluency in a language is a very complicated field with its own entire field of research, which I can't get into in this video.
82
But what continually stands out is this concept of immersion.
83
The more you expose yourself at that level and attempt to read and write at that level, the faster your fluency is going to grow.
84
Now, for most people, they get stuck at level one and level two.
85
But level three is actually the point at
86
which you can really start becoming faster than everyone else that's because at level three there is a bottleneck flip
87
bottleneck flip see as you progress from level one through to
88
level two as your words per minute increases your overall ability to read
89
and understand and cover material in a meaningful way also increases
90
if you go from 50 words per minute to 150 words per minute you are tripling your ability to cover content,
91
which means you're going to read this three times faster.
92
At level one and level two, your primary bottleneck is words per minute.
93
But starting from level three, it's not enough just to have a literal or temporarily understood comprehension of what you've read.
94
And almost all of the reading that you're going to do in higher education
95
and professional life requires a minimum level three of comprehension.
96
And so from level three, the bottleneck flips from being words per minute to your comprehension speed.
97
And I found that this is actually at around 150 to 200 words per minute, which is not that fast.
98
At that point, it doesn't matter if you double
99
or triple your words per minute because your bottleneck is how much of that you are able to comprehend and how deeply.
100
Now, if this concept of the bottleneck flipping is new to you, then it tells me one thing, a very important thing.
101
It tells me that you haven't joined my newsletter
102
because one of the first emails that you get in my newsletter series is about reading speed.
103
And I talk about this very concept in that email.
104
And so if you have found this video useful so far
105
and you want to get more of these insights delivered to your inbox every single week, only taking a few minutes to read,
106
then you might be interested in joining my free weekly newsletter.
107
And a lot of the concepts I talk about on YouTube are in my newsletter as well as some
108
that I don't even talk about in my videos.
109
So if you're interested in joining that, again, it's totally free.
110
I'll leave a link to that in the description below.
111
Now, on to level three.
112
Level three is called the critical level of comprehension.
113
And the key difference between just understanding something and critically understanding something is that at level three,
114
we're now making judgments about the value of what we are reading and what we've understood.
115
And it seems like a small difference, but mastering level three is the key to being a faster reader than everyone around you
116
because most people do not engage in this crucial step.
117
When you're reading for level three comprehension, you realize that it doesn't matter how many pages of the book you'll flick through.
118
What matters is how much of this knowledge sticks into your brain at the end of that reading session.
119
What matters is that when someone asks you a question, you know how to answer it.
120
You can teach this knowledge.
121
You can use it for your daily work or your study.
122
And so to achieve this, you actually start doing things that slow down your words per minute
123
that thing about sub vocalization
124
I talked about before where you mouth out the words as you say it well it turns out
125
that sub vocalizing is actually a strategy that can increase your comprehension and
126
so sometimes we can choose to sub vocalize deliberately
127
we completely pause from reading just to think about what we've consumed
128
and during those thinking breaks we make these value judgments
129
and instead of just taking the information at face value
130
we are now in the driver's seat generating our own knowledge simply using the reading as a data point.
131
The book is simply a source of information
132
that sparks our brain to think about the topic and form our own meaning and form our own conclusions.
133
And so the fastest strategy to achieve a level three comprehension is question and critique.
134
Question and critique is an incredibly simple strategy but also incredibly powerful.
135
It simply means that when you read something, after each concept, pause and ask yourself a series of questions about what you've just read.
136
The types of questions
137
that I find really useful for hitting level 3 quickly are
138
questions like why was this important enough for the author to explain it?
139
Why do I need to care about this?
140
Or how is this similar or different to something else that I've read?
141
How does it compare to what I already know about this?
142
Depending on what I'm reading I might also have some questions that I'm generally curious about.
143
It may not necessarily be in the scope of what you are learning
144
but it's worthwhile to chase these strands of curiosity
145
because that's your brain trying to make meaningful connections
146
and the result of making those meaningful connections is
147
that you're going to be able to use
148
that information in a more nuanced way and it's going to stick into your memory much longer.
149
Now unfortunately the reason that most people don't hit level 3 is
150
because it takes more time which seems counterintuitive
151
that you would actually slow down your reading speed in order to read faster than everyone else
152
but the thing is that
153
if you don't engage in these strategies then you can be reading using a level 1
154
or a level 2 strategy again and again and again
155
and you might be reading at a 500 words per minute a thousand words per minute
156
but you will have to read the same thing six seven eight times
157
you have to spend hours thinking about it and studying it
158
and revising it and repeating it just to make it stick into your memory
159
and even then your understanding still won't be very deep.
160
The way I like to think about it is like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
161
It doesn't matter if you are blazingly fast at picking pieces out of the box
162
and then putting them down and connecting them together.
163
Most of the value is going to come from looking at each piece and thinking about where to put it.
164
So if the level of comprehension you're looking for is level 3 or above,
165
any time that is spent on just going through words without thinking about what to do with
166
that information is actually a waste of time.
167
Now this is even more important if the level you're trying to reach is level 4.
168
Level 4 is what I call adaptive level of comprehension.
169
At this level we are using the information from what we read
170
and then applying and adapting it to our own unique often complicated contexts.
171
This is the level that you need to reach
172
if you want to use the information you've gained to solve really complicated problems and to make really complicated decisions.
173
When you're designing high -stakes plans and strategies you have to take the information,
174
see what's useful, make that your own and then adapt that with your own expertise to whatever need you have.
175
You can imagine at this point how fast you can read through pages is almost completely inconsequential
176
which ironically makes you faster than everyone else
177
because even by reading a little you're able to achieve a outcome
178
and a quality that most people can't achieve no matter how long they spend on it
179
so the fastest strategy to achieve level four is abstract, apply, and attack.
180
So abstracting something means that you're taking something and then you're generalizing and extracting the essential features of it.
181
So if you're a scientist looking at a bunch of data,
182
you may abstract the key trends and key observations in order to formulate a new theory.
183
It's the ability to take in information,
184
see which parts of the information are essential and turn those essential pieces into valuable principles that you can repurpose.
185
So once you've abstracted this leads to the second part which is to apply.
186
Apply means you take those abstracted concepts and you try to use them in your own personal situations.
187
So if there's a project you're working on
188
and you're learning about a bunch of things in order to solve a problem in
189
that project you're abstracting principles and you're going to try to apply them to your problem
190
and apply is not a one
191
and done there are many ways you might be able to apply the information
192
and especially if you're reading a ton of information there are lots of different pieces of
193
that that can be combined in different ways and applied in different ways and this process of deliberately trying to abstract combine,
194
compare it together, apply it and see how it works or doesn't work, actually builds expertise and knowledge in your brain.
195
Even if you don't come to a solution at the end of that, that knowledge becomes ingrained in your memory very deeply.
196
You don't have to go back to your notes, you don't have to read through it again, that knowledge is now yours.
197
But if you really want to lock in at level 4, you have to follow up with the attack.
198
Attack means that once you've applied it in multiple different ways, and once you've formulated an understanding about what you have read,
199
you're actually going to deliberately look for counter -arguments and assumptions.
200
This is where using a tool like ChatGPT can be great.
201
You can summarize your understanding into ChatGPT, and you can say, what are some of the angles I might be missing?
202
What are some perspectives that I might be missing?
203
And often, this can lead you down a rabbit hole of further reading.
204
And this, again, helps to build a more holistic, balanced, accurate understanding of the topic.
205
Now, does it take more time to read those things?
206
Yes.
207
But remember, we are now operating in such a way where we're building comprehension and extracting learning from what we read
208
incomparably faster than someone that is using a level one or level two strategy.
209
After a few hours of reading at level three and level four, when you talk about what you have learned,
210
it comes across as if you have known this information for months or years.
211
You communicate it like an expert it.
212
You can immediately use it to solve problems.
213
And if you can do that after just a few hours of reading, then I guarantee you're going to be faster than everyone around you.
214
So those were the four levels of comprehension and the fastest reading strategies to help you achieve each of these levels.
215
If you want to learn a little bit more about how you can extend this in the rest of your learning,

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
