[Easy] An American resident taught me how to read English fast

I want to read English fast! However, for us who are not native speakers, reading English is very difficult.

However, speed reading is necessary for English tests and exams ,

If you read news or books quickly, you will get more information .

If you search the Internet for "How to read English faster"

• Read aloud more than 50 times
• understand word order
• read through a book without a dictionary

It's just a very difficult way to study.

Am I the only one who can't get up when he says "Let's study!"

Meanwhile,

The tips for reading English fast introduced in the Youtube video are very interesting, and I think anyone can easily imitate them, so I will introduce them.

AIUEO phonics videos

Allie, Fuzzy, and Super Fuzzy from Los Angeles

It is a channel where anyone from children to adults can easily understand and enjoy studying, as it carefully explains the basics of English.

Since one video is about 5 minutes, it is also attractive that you can watch it anytime in a short time.

This is the YouTube channel I watch the most for studying English.

Aiueo Phonics "[I didn't know] Tips for reading English fast! Training in this way changes the speed of reading English Adult Phonics [#308]"

Here are some tips for reading English faster!

read with sound

Read English sentences while listening to sounds

Many research results have been published that human beings read while pronouncing words in their heads when reading sentences.

This method takes advantage of the inherent characteristics of people and helps them study English .

Listening to the pronunciation while actually looking at an English sentence can help you read faster than just reading silently because you don't have to vocalize it in your head.

I actually tried

In fact, I read the news site for children introduced in the video while listening to English.

Scholastic News (Children's News)

$5.39/year

12 minutes to read the text without reading aloud for the first time

Read the text while listening to the reading aloud three times

2nd reading 5 minutes without reading aloud

This is the result.

It's true that the second time was the same sentence, but as I repeated it, I felt that the time to read the sentences without reading the sentences aloud the first time would become shorter.

When I read the text while listening to the sound, I was able to read twice as fast as I normally read, and I was able to understand the content easily.

Personally, I was more surprised that reading while listening to English improved my comprehension of the content rather than reading faster .

Here are some other opinions and comments!

There was also this comment in the comment section of this video.

The content of this video was a blind spot! I used to do a correspondence teaching material called "Children's Challenge", and when I was in the first grade of elementary school, I would listen to a cassette tape and solve Japanese sentence problems. I remember having a hard time reading it on my own because the cassette tape didn't come with it. It was at that moment that I realized the content of this video.

Quoted by body less

As a test, I used an audiobook (Flowers for Algernon, halls) and read while listening to the reading, and I was surprised at how my reading speed changed. It was like a sensory switch in the brain, which is touched on in this video, and I felt a sense of connection. In particular, I recommend reading while listening to the audio, especially for those who have knowledge but can't read for some reason, or just reading aloud was not effective.

Excerpt from Mr. Hideo Ishida

There was also a comment.

By listening to the reading aloud while looking at the text many times, or by reading one book while listening to English on an audio book, you will gradually get used to reading faster.

Then you will be able to read the sentence itself quickly without listening to the reading aloud.

What to do when speed can't keep up with comprehension

The important thing is to listen to the reading aloud that matches your level.

If there are only English words you don't know, you won't be able to understand what they mean no matter how much you listen to them read aloud.

If you can't understand the meaning, your reading speed will inevitably drop.

What should I do if my understanding is not keeping up with my reading speed?

Quote Mr. Wasabi Furikake

In response to this comment, Aiueo Phonics gave the following advice.

Apps like speechify can slow things down ( when there are too many words I don't understand, I'm just wondering if there's a level )

Quote "Aiueo Phonics" English Pronunciation

Wouldn't it be better to read aloud yourself?

Isn't it better to read aloud yourself?

I thought so too, but some people asked the same question in the comments section.

Can you get the same effect as reading aloud?

Quote Kenji What do you eat?

I think you should do this first than reading aloud. ( If you learn your own wrong pronunciation by reading aloud, it will be hard to remember the correct pronunciation later .--My experience.)

Quote "Aiueo Phonics" English Pronunciation

I see···! If you read while reading aloud before you can pronounce it, is there a risk of memorizing it with the wrong, self-pronounced pronunciation ? !

Certainly, there are several words that I learned in junior high school that I have memorized by reading them in romaji.

At the same time as increasing my vocabulary of basic English words, I felt that I could read English faster by learning how to read sentences while listening to audio, so I introduced this method this time. Did.

Textbooks and other paper media cannot be copied and pasted, and it is troublesome to enter characters.

However, if you take a picture with a smartphone etc. and upload it to Ondoku, you can immediately turn it into a voice. You can easily convert the teaching materials you have at hand into voice.

For example, copy a sentence from an English question, huh?
