As the most challenging aspect of reading faster is to be able to understand blocks of words and whole paragraphs instead of sole words, you need to train your eyes to decipher the key words from these chunks of text. At first this is going to seem quite hard to achieve but sooner or later you will realize that it is just a matter of time, because training yourself in fast reading everyday contributes a lot to the results that you will soon start having. The best way to make your eyes understand this is to first train on narrow columns of text printed black on white paper. Take an A4 sheet of paper and print a full narrowed article on it. As soon as you are done, take the first paragraph and use your fingers to go through each sentence without turning back to the words that you read. This will force your eyes to immediately send the information that has been regarded directly to the brain and won’t allow your lack of attention to manifest itself that easy.

I recommend that you close your eyes in order for them to rest after each large amount of text that you look at and try to process. This is going to help you teach them to be able to deal with a large amount of text and get the main message while excluding a bunch of words that either have no significance or are used just to make the connection between words or sentences.

Even if you don’t want to understand this, but it is crucial that you make you accommodate your eyes to such a behavior because if you don’t, fast reading of certain texts is not only by time consuming, but extremely exhausting for your vision. It is very important that you understand this particular aspects.
You can also train your eyes to read faster with the help of your hands (especially fingers).

There are many different other benefits of training your eyes to become more concentrated when trying to learn to read faster.

Your eyes are the mirror of your inner world. When you properly use them for speed reading, you can send in (towards your brain) a large quantity of information in a short period of time. When first learning these techniques make sure you make small pauses between these attempts, otherwise you will feel your vision pretty tired.
