Speeding Your Reading (1947)

The film discusses techniques for improving reading speed by focusing on eye movement. It explains that many readers make quick jerks with their eyes, which can hinder speed. By learning to fixate on a central point and recognizing groups of words in a single glance, readers can enhance their efficiency. Common reading habits that slow down reading include "spelling out" words, vocalizing silently, and looking back at previous words. The conclusion emphasizes using only the eyes and mind for reading, avoiding vocalization, and developing a rhythmic reading style.
