=== Notes ===
Many speed reading techniques are only suited for low to moderate-difficulty texts. Anyone who has used these techniques will know how difficult it is to sustain them persistently for study sessions that might be several hours long. It can be exhausting!
These are my tips (as someone who has read about 100+ pages of journal articles and textbooks every week for the last 10 years).
NOTE: This is not a FULL system. You still need to use other studying techniques for good encoding and retrieval, facilitated with a good note-taking system. Other techniques like scaffolding and smart skimming can also be useful.
These are NOT taught in this video.

I appreciate the disclaimer that you can read fiction slowly so you can immerse yourself in the story. Once speed reading has become a habit of mine, I speed read every piece of text I come across, which later on diminished the joy I feel in reading non-academic texts, especially literature. Speed reading is a good habit, but when done incorrectly, can diminish the quality of overall reading experience, methinks.

For those who are able to read fast though AND can understand the text properly, think twice before slowing down. I remember deliberately slowing my reading speed back then because I heard that will make me enjoy or absorb what I'm reading better. But when I slowed my reading speed down, I felt no improvement at all and actually felt myself regress. So remember, some of the advices here in the internet shouldn't be followed blindly. Try them out and see if it makes you improve, but don't take them all as dogma that have to be followed right to the T all the time.

Oh yeah. Even beyond the enjoyment factor, fiction/narrative writing can often have, in it's more complex forms and stories, just as much, or more, to say in it's subtextual content than is there in it's upfront exoteric text. This is not a feature (or shouldn't be anyway) in academic non fiction writing, even if it's otherwise unnecessarily complex with technical jargon and such

When it comes to these hard and long texts one method I rely on to maintain focus and be more productive is to listen to an audio version of the text (usually in a higher speed) and read it along (silently, only with my eyes).

Summary of 4 Steps to Read Difficult Texts Faster: Techinque - Importantce of techinque drops a lot in hard text 1. Sub-vocalizing reduces speed but also reduces cognitive load (Bad & Good) 2. Relax our eyes so we can proccess more information 3. Grouping words is more energy inefficent and increases speed Strategy - When we use the techinque (Skip not useful info and focus on more useful info) 1. Group easy words and sprint hard parts 2. Sub-vocalize hard parts and slow down 3. Pause to proccess what you've just learned 4. Think about what the text is about

Key Points: Reading Technique vs. Reading Strategy: While reading techniques are important, reading strategies become more crucial when dealing with complex texts. Techniques might be more beneficial for simpler texts, but strategies are essential for understanding dense academic material. Sub-vocalization: This is the act of silently pronouncing words in your mind as you read. While it can slow down reading speed, it also aids in comprehension. Dr. Justin suggests that learners should know when to use sub-vocalization strategically. Grouping Words Together: One of the most effective techniques for speed reading is to group words and read them in chunks rather than individually. This technique automatically reduces sub-vocalization and increases reading speed. Strategic Pauses: Taking breaks to process information is crucial. During these breaks, readers should reflect on what they've read and predict what might come next. This helps in better comprehension and retention of information. Technical Tips: Narrow Field: Using a narrow field (like a column) for reading reduces the need for the eyes to move from left to right extensively. This can help in reading faster and reduces eye strain. Background Color: Dr. Justin suggests using a gray background and tools like Flux to reduce eye strain.

idk if lazy is the right word. It's actually like they're making a legitimate effort to make basic ideas sound as complex as possible, so they sound extra smart. It's like an intellectual dick measuring contest. It's just a pretentious academic circle jerk. There's nothing intelligent about using flowery words that have low frequency. There's no chance whatsoever that these people talk like this in normal conversation. They probably had a thesaurus sitting next to them so they could look up the most flowery combination of words to describe what could have been easily described by just talking like a normal person. "oh let's not use 'internal', let's use intrinsic" "let's not use 'normal', let's say normative" "let's not say 'object', let's say 'physical artifacts'". "physical artifacts".... lmfao... just say "thing" or "stuff". Jesus fucking christ, these people...

@@bingbong2257 I don’t know man I type naturally like this whenever I’m typing anything serious. I have always read loads of books so I have a high vocabulary and I use whatever comes to mind first that fits into the sentence I’m writing as well as possible. These sentences aren’t very flowery at all, they look just like something I’d write naturally for school. Often when they use unnecessary words such as “similarly,” they do this because this is how their brains have made connections between the subjects in question. For me it would be more difficult to be minimalistic than to be what you call “flowery,” and I assume that it is the same for them. Sure, I could be minimalistic if I tried, but that takes effort and being “flowery” doesn’t. They aren’t even really being that flowery anyway.

I am dyslexic so this might not be very generisable but usually lots of small words cause me more processing issues when reading large words are usually easier to read. Simplification usin more small words often causes things to become difficult to follow once you have learnt word stem eg heam ( San e other way round in British English ) you don't have to focus on each letter generally I'm thinking about the images generated by what I read unless I'm reading something very abstract. Reading several words at once and reading in thinner Collins really helps the flow I find.

I've found over the years (and this is just anecdotally my experience, not based on research as far as I know), but many of the strategies suitable for students with dyslexia are actually suitable for students without dyslexia as well. Dyslexic techniques to compensate for weaker verbal processing results in higher processing from other parts of the brain, which I find benefits all students. Thanks for sharing your insights!

For the first time I got a very natural humanly piece of advice . Thankyou Doctor, for your time and effort to condense your insights of reading Effectively with Smooth Transition and Sustained Focus (esp while dealing with difficult academic chapters) into a 19 min crisp and concise video . Moving eyes left to right is tiring if done for longer time and having a EPUB tip comes in handy . Although I prefer left to right motion as it exercises your eye muscles and the more you practice the more eye muscles adapt to it and hence faster movement with time . EPUB is a good tip but I don't see it as a good habit to carry on . Makes your eyes dull and weak . As Being a Doctor ,you know This Human Body is meant for Motion .A Good Exercise can never be bad only tiring one and so take rest and Start again.

this is very interesting, however I don't see it useful for qualitative social science article and books. Thick description, imo, really demands you to immerse yourself in the academic text. In our research, discourse is SO important, the way language is used, things like that are part of the scientific information you need to learn and understand. Re-reading is also necessary because text can be read in different ways and understood differently from different perspectives (or just having learned and understood more), even within one text rereading parts in the beginning when finished is helpful. But I can see myself practicing and using this technique for other types of academic text, seems really useful! thanks :)

But when you talk about the pupil contracting and letting less light in and also reducing the size of the cone that isn't accurate, you should increase the amount of light so that the pupil contracts but you still have enough light to read comfortably, the eye is like a camera and the pupil contracting is like closing the aperture of the diaphragm, that's how you get more stuff in focus. If your pupil is dilated you get more light in but also it's all a lot more blurry.

I know I'm a couple of years late but thank you soooo much for this, I really struggle with academic reading and a lecturer put up 11 readings(including multiple books, one of which is 800 pages) for an essay I have to write - I'll definitely try this!

Finally a real demonstration of what sub vocalisations are supposed to be. But most of the time, I wont be able to process the meaning of sentences in English without sub vocalisations. But I can do the sub vocalisations in Chinese much better and only focus on key grammars words.
