Seven Basic Rules for Fast Reading
1) Read without regressions.
2) Read on the integral reading algorithm.
3) Always highlight the dominant (the main semantic meaning of the text).
4) Read without articulation.
5) Read with vertical eye movements.
6) Constantly develop your attention and memory.
7) Fulfill the daily mandatory rate:
100-200 pages of any book. These can be newspapers, magazines, the Internet, scientific and technical or popular science literature.
All these rules will be taught by our simulators.
effective time to read
Reading is most effective when the body is relaxed and the brain is active. A state of relaxed alertness is achieved, and then the text is better perceived and absorbed.
In order to quickly and effortlessly achieve a state of ideal relaxed alertness, you can use the “tangerine technique”. This simple technique automatically directs your attention in the right direction and instantly improves your reading experience.
Lessons show that both reading and memory require attention. On a conscious level, in one session, you can perceive up to seven, give or take two, bits of information.
Research also shows that focusing one unit of attention on the initial topic helps to effectively apply the remaining units during reading. The subject of focus is essential. For example, while driving, your best focus is on the road ahead of you, not the hood or bumper. For effective reading, the area behind and above the crown is ideal for focusing.
The Mandarin Technique helps you identify and manage your ideal area of attention. The technique also helps you enter a relaxed, alert state of mind and body that you want to read. The following instructions must be followed:
Imagine a tangerine. Feel its weight, colour, skin and smell. Now throw it in your other hand and catch it. Flip the tangerine from hand to hand.
Now catch the tangerine with your dominant hand and place it on top of your head. Touch this place gently. Imagine a tangerine lying there; at this time, you lower your arms and relax your shoulders. You can imagine that this is a magical tangerine, and it will stay where you put it.
Slowly close your eyes and hold the tangerine on your head. Pay attention to changes in the physical and mental condition during this procedure. You will feel relaxed and knowledgeable. Leaving your eyes closed, visualize the field of view.
Manage the feeling of relaxed awareness after you open your eyes and start reading.
By experimenting with this technique, you will be able to more easily absorb the material you read and will do so at a very high speed. You will develop the ability to concentrate on information and reading will become more relaxing.
First, you will deliberately put the tangerine on your head. Then it will happen automatically, and as soon as you pick up the material for reading, one unit of attention will instantly take its place.
This state of physical relaxation and mental alertness is also beneficial for other activities. It has been researched in detail as the state when a person is most productive. This state is similar to thoughtfulness, meditation when a person is absorbed only in the present moment.
However, this state of relaxation is not like sleepiness. Rather, you focus your brain on something with a sense of inner peace. You have access to all internal natural resources.
More about the tangerine technique
Many people find it difficult to achieve their ideal reading state, especially at work. While reading in the office, the phone constantly rings, you have to hurry so as not to be late, and congestion forms in your head from thoughts about the company’s products or about repairing a car. What will be the focus of attention if the brains have turned into such a swamp? A little bit of everything. It will become almost impossible to read.
The ideal reading state is completely different. This is the state of flow when you are completely absorbed by the material in front. This is where the “tangerine technique” comes into play.
For highly educated readers, on the contrary, the point of attention is clearly defined; it is located just behind and above the crown of the head.
Many people have noticed several benefits after using the “tangerine technique”. For starters, they began to quickly and easily transition into a state of relaxed alertness. In addition, they calm the brain and automatically focus their attention on the desired subject. The result is instant skill improvement.
The “Mandarin Technique” has manifested itself in various forms throughout the history of mankind. Each of them forces you to fix your attention in a place just above and behind the head.
Experiment with this technique. If the tangerine image does not help, try focusing on the right place in a different way. Imagine putting on a sombrero and a bird perching on it. Feel the hat and focus on the bird.
Another way. Imagine standing outside your body while reading and looking at the top of your head. As you do this, pay attention to the change in your sensations.
A curious thing happens when you open your eyes after fixing your attention with one of these techniques. Unexpectedly read material becomes more manageable. The field of view expands. In this state, you are able to perceive visually a lot more information.
Achieving this brain state is the goal. You are not trying to hold the tangerine throughout the entire reading. Establishing a fixed point of attention is like placing a keystone at the top of a vaulted passage. One stone at the top holds all the others.
Likewise, one focused point of attention collects and directs all others towards the task of reading. Once you’ve installed it, you don’t have to worry anymore. When you pass through the door, you do not need to take it with you. Just move on and start reading – your brain will take care of the rest.
Take a few minutes to figure out how you can use the knowledge gained in this chapter:
The two components of preparation are goal setting and the transition to an ideal state with a fixed point of attention at the top of your head.
Reading purposefully means reading effectively.
The “Mandarin Technique” is one of the most effective ways to fix your attention, which automatically puts your brain in an ideal state.
Once again, notice the changes in a physical condition that take place during this. While reading, you feel more relaxed, focused, attentive and fully absorbed in the book. You are now ready to learn. The next step is …

Speed reading is a very useful skill for you. It allows a person to successfully perceive material that is read as soon as possible. This will save you time. How to increase the speed of perception of the text, and do you need to re-read the text several times? Let’s take a look at this issue.
In general, no book, article or material of any other format will be memorized perfectly the first time. Therefore, the first reading of any text can only end up with an impression of it. But it is based on emotion. And the person remembers them. Therefore, it is so easy to remember whether the film was interesting or not. But it often happens that a person cannot remember the name of the main character. What does it mean? We do not know how to understand the information read the first time.
More than a million books are published annually, as well as many other unique materials, articles and more. It’s important to just take what you want and use it correctly. But how to read such a gigantic amount of information that exists in the world? It’s simple: develop speed reading. This is an incredibly useful skill that can help a person become more educated in a couple of months. Anyone can do it. If you set a goal, then speed reading allows a person to read five books a day. And this is not the limit. Some people who are successful at speed reading can read one page in five seconds and retell it. And you can achieve this too.
Reading is a four-stage process: perception, understanding, memorization, and reproduction.
Reading the text is not enough – you need to understand what is written there, and, if possible, briefly retell.
The time spent on reading is reduced, which is very important for busy people. You will have more time than you can spend with your loved ones.
You will learn to process text quickly, immediately finding the most important in it, develop memory, attention and vocabulary.
You will discover a new world of reading because you can read any literature from professional to fiction.
If you learn through books, then the learning will be more effective, and for you, there will be no such thing as a difficult book.
The new skill will boost self-esteem and boost self-confidence. The advantages are obvious: by reading more than 1 book a month, you are ahead of 90% of competitors, more than 4 books – you are ahead of 99%.
Why read quickly? Finding or changing jobs. With the skill of speed reading, you are faster and better than other applicants. Economic crisis, unemployment, uncertainty: who owns the information owns the world.
Speed and memory. You know more, study better, pass exams, work easier.
Earn Money. You will keep up with everything, new clients and opportunities appear. They notice you and raise your salary.
What will you learn? You will read much faster. You will be able to evaluate the information during, not after reading. Cut off unnecessary things, instantly perceive what you need. Learn not to waste time on empty texts.

Quickly prepare for exams, it is easy to memorize information, to keep up with everything, there will be time for friends, family, hobbies, read more, surprise others with your erudition.
