1) Listen to your mother
Remember in our childhood our mother made us read sentences by tracing them with our fingers. Yes, your mother wasn’t wrong. With this, you will set your speed & center your focus.

2) Aim for zero distraction
When you are distracted you are bound to pause & reread, thereby making you lose time. So ensure there is absolutely no distraction while reading.

3) Avoid one-word reading
Read in chunks & not word by word.
This will reduce your time consumption.

4) Don’t vocalize
Most of us speak each word while reading. We unintentionally mumble the words.
This reduces your speed of reading. So avoid unnecessarily vocalizing each word & maybe try chewing gum as that may stop you from reading the words aloud.

5) Give the center words more attraction
Every sentence has the first and the last words, avoid them. Instead, focus your attention on the middle section of the sentence. It may seem a little unnatural at first but then you will get habituated,

6) Be intentional
You see in leisure reading, you know that you have all the time so you will go slow or get distracted. So try reading really fast. Do it intentionally. This will increase your focus & with every passing day, you will turn this into a habit.

7) Just the keywords
Not all the words in the sentence are important or hold meaning. This means if you skip them they won’t necessarily make any difference in the meaning. Focus on the words that hold information like - some action, place, or name.
