Speed ReadingoSpeed Reading Lessons
A free course in three steps, from Abdullah Yılmaz’s speed reading method. Each lesson opens with a short answer, gives you a drill to try and tells you what research says about it.
The three steps: 1 · Pre-reading · 2 · Reading with your eyes · 3 · Marking, then progress.
Pre-reading: Look Before You Read
Look over the part you are about to read for a few seconds, so you start with a map and a question.
5 minSubvocalization: Turn the Inner Voice Down, Not Off
What the inner voice does, why it slows you down, and how to quiet it without losing the meaning.
5 minPit Words: Make Fewer Stops per Line
Plan two or three eye stops per line, keep them lined up down the page, and keep moving.
6 minPeripheral Vision in Speed Reading
What peripheral vision does while you read, how the course trains it, and the real limits of the eye.
5 minGetting Used to Speed: The 5 Practice Stages
Five practice paces from 250 to 1,000 wpm, how to climb them, and why your everyday pace settles lower.
6 minMarking: Tie What Matters to a Picture
Stop at the end of the paragraph, keep only what you need, and tie it to a vivid, slightly absurd picture.
5 minNotes, Flashcards and AI: Keep What You Read
Turn your marks into a short note and a few flashcards, space your reviews, and let AI suggest images when you are stuck.
5 minLet Comprehension Catch Up with Your Speed
Why comprehension drops at each new speed, how to let it recover, and how to find the pace where you still understand.
5 min3 Common Speed Reading Mistakes and How to Use the Skill
Three mistakes that stall progress, how to fix each one, and where speed reading earns its place: AI answers, research, scanning.
