“Comprehension comes first.”
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
Faster comprehension, not faster reading
Defining word groups and not individual words
Try to stop verbalizing and re-reading
Attach to the idea of what you’re reading and let go of individual words

“He thinks it’s going to rain.”
The key to comprehension is: THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU READ.
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
Visualize
Try to visualize the concepts
Glance at each phrase and visualize a snapshot in your mind’s eye
Concentrate on meaningful ideas as you read
Don’t worry, speed will come.
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
Adjectives and word groups
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
Conceptualize
Thought-units and more meaningful than individual words
Reading groups of up to 7 words at a time may seem strange but …
Reading one word at a time is inefficient

Exercise
Take your time to visualize each thought-unit in each of the sentences below, and then practice re-reading this while concentrating on these images.
• “The shipment was delayed in India.” • “Last year, our sales force doubled in
size.” • “Can we meet next Thursday after
lunch?” • “Do you think it’s dangerous for us to
continue using the old trucks?” • “We’re getting a new fleet of trucks in
the forth quarter.”
• “We simply can not continue using those dilapidated old trucks.”
• “We are going to consolidate multiple order requests inro a single order.”
• “The secret of success is the
consistency to pursue.” • “Conwood is the leader in wood
replacement products.” • “The elimination of genetically modified
organisms is the key to a healthy diet.”

What is scanning?
Scanning is another useful tool for speeding up your reading.
Unlike skimming, when scanning, you look only for a specific fact or piece of information without reading everything.
Like when you look for your favorite show listed in the cable guide, for your friend’s phone number in a telephone book, and for the sports scores in the newspaper.

“Flexible readers know
how to skim”
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
How to skim
Use the same structured process when skimming
Follow the ‘Intro-Body-Conclusion’ format with both paragraphs and articles
Read the Introduction, the conclusion to get the general idea and then skim to allow snapshots to appear in your mind’s eye.
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
“Flexible readers know
how to skim”
At the end of each topic sentence, your eyes should drop down through the rest of the paragraph, looking for important
pieces of information, such as names, dates, or events.
