I arrived at this video by accident I’m pleased to say. This man is a genius, I now understand How and the Why of speed reading in just over 4 minutes. Thank you Dr Atthreya..
Reading is looking and parsing. You have to visually scan each word, but you can parse in many ways (whole sentences, paragraphs). To read fast you have to improve the visual scanning step, and do better parsing. To do better parsing you have to increase your working memory, your context vocabulary (some prior knowledge in the domain you are reading always helps). So you scan a portion of text that you keep in memory, then parse it for meaning, then move to the next portion. That will improve reading speed. Slow readers usually tend to parse after every word and waste time readjusting the meaning all the time. Scan in big chunks and parse.
TheVigilantEye77. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I fully agree with you that some types of text can't be speed read. Complex Scientific or Technical Texts, legal documents, Manuals, foreign language, agreements, exam papers etc.
Through this video, I ve come to understand how comprehension and speed reading come together. This helped me understand what others’ claim. Nice video
I agree that if you read each sentence as a phrase your comprehension will dramatically improve. Also you can see each phrase like you’re watching a movie and this increases your reading speed
Nice videos . Hats off to your mentor. Please do post more videos by him. We would love to watch. It feels nice to hear someone from the old good times is explaining things with genuine love for knowledge and teaching. When people read for love of learning... To spread knowledge without any personal motives. May God bless all. ❤
Thanks a lot Sonakshi for such a sweet comment about my mentor. I would have loved to post more videos by him but he left for his heavenly abode a few months back. He completed 💯 years. This video was shot when he was 92. God bless you too.
I agree and helped in college save time for athletics. The most important thing missing here and in most "speed reading" tutorials (I have had 2 back in my college and post college years) was the importance of a strong vocabulary. The flow of a text is almost anticipatory in some context and pleasure reading of dialogs and settings. Great video post otherwise!
Now the people are considering such men genius or so such because of they are foreigners, but all these informations and techniques were already used and told by Swami Vivekananda
My experience has been that it is quite possible to read faster but at a certain point, comprehension goes down. Some types of reading require slow focus. An example of this would be trying to reading long complex passages written in the 18th century. For me to read a Steven King novel is much faster and easier than say, reading a physics text book. That said, what Mr. Atthreya say is true. I worked on my eye movement and speed a few years ago and it probably increased my speed by 50%. Thank you from the Maritimes Canada. great video.
meaning is not in the word, meaning is in the thought. the word is just the vehicle in the impartation of your thought to some one else~ me speed reading is not for creatives who will try to make the words into dialog of some drama to give it a memorable context and meaning. speed reading lacks context like going from point a to point z but not knowing the reason, the difficulty and what transpired during the journey of how one got to the other. bilbo baggins found a magical ring, frodo baggins threw the magical ring into the volcano of mordor. and now you have just speed read the entire lord of the rings and fellowship of the rings in a single sentence, how fast was that!
The person you see in the video and the one you are referring to is no longer with us. He was my Guru, and I was fortunate to have recorded his video and shared it on my channel. I hope this answers your question.
Thanks for your feedback. One needs to keep the fact in mind that the person whom you see speaking is 92 years old. If at all someone reaches this age, they would hardly be able to speak. Appreciate the spirit of the person who has the zeal to be in front of a camera at this age.
“Meaning is not in the word. Meaning is in the phrase.”
Very well put sir.

@@pajun1078 Thank you so much for such a brilliant explanation. You have added a ton of value for everyone to benefit. 👏
Very grateful for this. Wish I had learnt this when I was 22 rather than 72.
But still most grateful none the less.
Grateful Aussie.
I appreciate and respect you sir
I hope this gentleman is still healthy and fine!
Thanks for inquiring. In July 2020 Dr. Atthreya left for his heavenly abode completing 100 years.
@@RajivKumarLuv may his soul rest in peace!
He was a real master!
Long, slow, ruminative reading is good too!
A video about speed reading that I saw by speed watching 😂. Jokes apart great video❤
This is fantastic video!!! I have been using the technique for years and it works wonders!!! Thanks for the video.

You cannot speed read a real analysis text. You can speed read a romance novel

Thanks Gamer Mic. You are right about the importance of a strong vocabulary, it's a pre-requisite.
fundamentals -- foundations, thanks Guru.

Thank You. A good advice. Appreciate it.
Thanks, I am glad you found the advice good.
🙏 got the idea🙏
Thanks Jas
Maybe this is why children who read novels/fiction books have the tendency of reading faster as they have unknowingly built phrase reading style
That's a good observation. Thanks for sharing.
