ARIEL. This was seriously SO INTERESTING. I wanna attempt this now! Haha.
jessethereader MWAHAHA thanks, Jesse! It was hilarious to try! I honestly feel like I learned so much! 😂
I wanna try it now as well Ariel! Maybe it can help with all the books I have to read for school🤔
jessethereader You should take the Staples speed reading test. It tests how well you absorbed the material you were reading too
Do it!!!
Um is it just me or does anyone else find it actually IMPOSSIBLE to read without saying the words in you head? I CANT DO IT WTF
brianna!! nope im the same. ive tried the singing/glossing over words/finger pointing and i just dont get it! i dont think i'll ever understand it lol
brianna!! I sorta can but I don’t like it. I like having the character’s voices in my head.
Anytime I try to read fast, I get so caught up in the pressure (I'm naturally v competitive) and I start stumbling over words in my head or I'm thinking so much about how fast I'm going that I completely forget to process the words I'm reading. I guess I'll just stick to a more calming experience.
What about reading comprehension, though? Like, are you still understanding and absorbing what you're reading just as well as you do when reading at your regular pace? Curious about this. Very good video!
I can't speak for her but I understand everything when I speed read but I normally also read fast. I'm always using that technique for studying.
Excuse my horrible English. It is not my mothertongue.
This is so intense, I love it!
Molly May It was so fun to do, haha!
I find that when I read slower, say the words in my head, imagine the scenes, I remember the books and everythin gnome in them better, so I personally, have no motivation to speed read as it will take away from my recollection and vividness that I absolutely treasure in reading.
I often have a problem with partnerships and sponsorships. Yet this video is an example of a partnership done excellently. Well done. I have been wanting to try skillshare for a while now and I am excited that I can try it not for free whilst supporting one of my favorite booktubers. Thanks, Ariel!
I hope I can get something out of skillshare that will help me improve my own videos. The newb struggle is real...
I read about as fast as you originally did for YA books (and any other genre but the one I'm about to come on to!) but I speed read classics! I have to read about one classic per week for university, so speed reading is so helpful. I sit up and follow along each of the words. Sometimes I also just read down one "margin" (imagine the page is split into three, and I'll read either the right or left hand side of the page) just to get the gist of the page. This is especially helpful for Proust, where he takes three pages to describe a frickin' spire! Speed reading is so good when you need to get information fast, though!
For a partnered video~ you seem so honest and fair! It was a great video!
You looked so mad every time the timer went off 😂😂 like ‘how DARE you interrupt my reading’ 🤣
Really needed this. Studying for finals haha, thank you Ariel :)!
Dawn 129 A lot of the speed reading courses were specifically for students trying to study faster, haha! I hope it helps!!
Ariel Bissett I think it's helping and thank youuu ❤
Just reading fast won't help you. You need to comprehend and retain as well. You'd be better off with the pomadora(sp?) technique. Concentrate as hard as you can for 50 mins, no phone, no distraction, really focussing on what you're reading and then take a 10 min break. Repeat.
pienkunicorn Well, I studied all the material for a year before so I just needed to go through it. But I usually try the pomadora technique when I've never read the material. But thank youu!
this is honestly such an interesting topic and way to approach it. this is why i love watching your videos!!!
I love all the tips that you got on Skillshare. Reading while you're sitting down instead of lying down makes a lot of sense. I tend to want to read while I'm lying down and I always end up falling asleep quickly.
Your video content recently has been blowing me away, honestly. Very creative and engaging! Love watching you grow!
no wonder spencer reid uses his finger when reading XD now I want to speed read !!
he speed reids i'm
I looooooved this - such an original video idea! You always inspire me with how you constantly think up new and exciting ways of doing bookish videos
Amazing!! I simply love watching your content and this was just awesome! Learnt a lot too, can't wait to try!!
This is incredible. Thank you for doing this and sharing it with us. I will ABSOLUTELY be trying the techniques you told us about!
This is so interesting because I have been working for YEARS to train myself out of subvocalization. I've had a really hard time doing it. I'm going to give this a go. Thanks for this!
I love how excited you're about this 😂 Thanks for doing the video, it was actually pretty interesting. And well, I'm definitely a slow reader so I might just try speed reading at some point lol
About five years ago there was a speed reading course in my school one evening and I found it fascinating how many techniques there are. Now I'm at uni and the only thing I do is focusing on one line at a time and trying not to skip around the page. Thanks for this informative video Arielle I really enjoyed it :)
I love your videos!! The topics are always so interesting!! ❤️
Fantastic video. So, I went and tried some of it out. The running of the finger really helps. I usually have problem focussing on the text and now I've read a whole chapter without even thinking of anything else. I still need to vocalise the text in my head (reading not in my first language). But still a huge progress.
I also get that speed readibg is not for everyone. I prefer rwading fiction on my own speed but it's great for non-fiction or studying.
So thanks Ariel!
I love all of your videos, but this was the most fun to watch!
I've marathon most of your videos cause I find them so interesting ... I have definitely fall in love with your channel !
This was super interesting! I'm such a slow reader, school and free-time, and I've always wanted to be faster but know it takes more practice for some than others so I just read the way I'm used to basically all the time :D maybe I'll try the gum to not to "speak" the words! the pen technique has helped with studying before!
I love the content on your channel it always gets me thinking!!
This was fantastic, I enjoyed this video so much Ariel! I felt like I was right there with you, your excitement was tangible
Ariel, your content is truely the best! You rock!
This is such a cool video. I've been known among friends as the "speed reader" of the group, finishing a lot of books in a few hours rather then taking days. Lately I've slowed down because I don't read a lot due to writing or otherwise, but I'm still pretty fast. xD I'm so glad that there's ways that people can learn to read faster, definitely going to recommend this to people. Happy speed reading my dude! :D
love all your videos!! I'm definitely gonna try this
loved this and will definitely try it for studying!
Thanks for this video! I love to learn, and now I can have more time on SkillShare. I have tried speed reading, but I just ended up skimming. Maybe I will give it another read since I have a huge TBR pile from the library that I want to read.
I learned in my reading class at my city college that you can fill in shorter words like and, or, but, it and etc that you would make sense in the space you skipped over. Speed reading at it's finest.
Good editing. Nice video Ariel!
How interesting! I think my friends would say I'm already a fast reader, but I always feel like there are so many more books I want to read in a year. Maybe I will have to check this out!
Oh my God I love you and your videos! Thank you so much!
Skillshare is great, I love their lessons on Photography/Videography. Also super exciting to see that the lessons in speed learning works! To avoid saying the words out loud in your head while you read, I've also heard that you should repeat letters of the alphabet as you read.
Wow honestly my fav booktube channel !! ❤
I loved this video - such an original idea!
This was so interesting I need to try some of these things!! Great video as always
This was really interesting! Definitely want to try it out for uni related reading. But I think with the general books I read, I like to read slowly and take my time, so that I can really get into them.
We learned about speed reading at school, Never thougth I would actually try it, but now I kind of want to. :D
I LOVE this video, it's brilliant! And I actually knew about the "following the lines" method and I use it if I have to speed read while I'm studying last minute or revising for exams ahahah
I loved the editing of this. It was so fun and intense haha.
I kind of like hearing myself narrate the book, though. That's the most fun for me! Every once in a while I will speed read though, and I tend to do this a lot in classics when there's a lengthy description of something (like in Les Miserables lol).
My target for the year is 40 books. It is February and I have read 20.....
yikes my original goal was 52 books for the year (i upped it to 75) and I've read 12 so far
guess I'd better catch up hahah
I'm so happy you're reading radio silence. It's my favourite book and you're my favourite booktuber
Thanks for this video, I am totally going to use this for school!
Hi Ariel! This video was so good :) I also think reading is just for fun but it was so interesting and fun to see you do such an experiment that I really want to attempt it right now. I still think I'd rather read in bed because I just want to relax when I read but it was a really great video and I'm gonna go check out Skillshare right now :) xx
Love this video! I'm definitely going to try some of those tips & tricks and hopefully increase my reading speed ^ ^
This is so interesting in the most fun way - very effective at promoting this website!
But anyway, I'd don't think I'd particularly enjoy speed reading but it would be great for school assignments and readings I need to complete quickly.
Always look forward to your videos! Glad I happened on your channel :)
Love this video!!!
This was so interesting to me and you did such a great presentation. I know I read faster naturally than the norm because I watch a lot of foreign movies with subtitles. My friends will complain that they can't both read the subs and follow the visuals and/or they have to pause throughout the feature to 'catch up' but I never have this problem.....I sort of take in the entire visual and writing and am done before the next dialogue appears. What I cannot do is listen to audio books without having my mind drift and realizing I have missed 5-10 minutes of books and have to rewind. I have tried audio books in every conceivable condition: in the car, in bed before I go to sleep, sitting in the living room with full concentration.....the same thing happens no matter how hard I try to focus. At some point, my mind begins to wander without me realizing it until I become aware that I have missed a portion of the book. I am a bookworm and read, on average, about 120 books a year of all genres. My mind does not wander when I'm actually reading, so I think there is some kind of connection (for me) of visuals and concentration. I would love to be able to do audio books because it would be great to be able to absorb a book while I'm driving, doing housework, etc. but after repeated attempts, I still cannot manage it. Any advice, Ariel? Would love to know your thoughts on this subject.
This is how to make sponsored content. I am very impressed by this video!
Such a good and original video!!! Thanks Ariel :)
Jiff1625 Yay!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This is a really interesting experiment, I need to try some of the techniques!
This was so intriguing and a great topic
For me, I am less concerned about getting through quantities books, but more moved to increasing the depth of quality in my reading. Most of what I read is philosophy, which doesn't lend itself to speed reading but rather to reflective reading. I also enjoy immensely reading poetry and published letters and diaries, and I sip them in and relish them like fine wine or spirits.
This is so interesting!! Love this video :)
I enjoyed this video so much ariel
this was very interesting!! I think Im going to try some of these techniques!
So cool!
loved this video
this was really interesting!! I most likely won't speed read for the average book, but for classics which just seem to drag out, this may just do the trick for me!
I tend to use a bookmark under the line I'm reading. It stops me skipping around but to be honest I've never done it to read faster! I didn't know that it would help with speed reading. I've just always done it to help me concentrate.
I really enjoyed this video lol I might try it for school readings, but for my personal fun readings dont think so 🙈📚
This is SUPER cool. I agree with you--not sure this is something I'd really implement when reading just for enjoyment. BUT--study skills??? THIS WOULD BE SO HELPFUL. When I was in college I would have to read AT LEAST one big tedious academic book each week, and these tips would be soooo helpful.
Interesting. Someone else may have asked this, but do you feel that you absorbed the same amount of information and understanding while speed reading as you would have at your normal pace?
Loved this investigation, but loved EVEN MORE that you're reading Radio Silence, it's one of our faves, so we hope you're liking it
"This is like a party. I am just having candy and reading books."
I chuckled so hard. You are adorable!
I'm a fairly fast reader, but I would still be interested in learning to speed read. I think this technique is interesting because it doesn't seem to rush you, just narrow your focus by eliminating unnecessary habits that slow down your reading, like jumping around the page and vocalization. So many people have the misconception that reading quickly means rushing. I have people say to me all the time things like "Oh, that took me longer to read because I was really taking my time and enjoying it," which annoys me- you can choose to read a book more quickly or slowly, but there will always be an element of base reading speed that depends more on, say, things you talked about in this video (focus, how your eyes are moving) than on how much you're savoring the story.
This is so interesting! I actually already read super fast, and can't seem to force myself to read any slower, but I'm not always sure I absorb everything! So I'd be interested to try this course and see if I can learn to read at the same speed but absorb a bit more.
LOVE THIS. I have always thought speed reading tests are super interesting. It seems difficult to get an accurate number, because-at least for me-it's so easy to overthink it when you're timing yourself!! I took a test once and found I was a below average speed reader. I wasn't really shocked though. I focus on each word because I can't always turn my editor brain off, haha.
i've attempted this so many times... my speed actually is getting better but I feel like I'm missing parts of the story
But I might try it again ! Love this vid !
THIS IS SOOO INTERESTING YESSSS
It would be interesting to test your memory with these, too. I find when I speed read I don't absorb and fully understand the details compared to when I read leisurely. Great video, Ariel!
I was so invested in seeing if this actually worked, I want to read faster! but then I also like reading slow because I feel I better connect with the story. :)
i love your videos! your enthusiasm always bubbles over :)
do you think the fact that you were timing yourself subconciously forced you to read faster though? (e.g. people cramming notes right before an exam) all in all, this was very interesting, definitely going to try out some of the techniques!
jazyow haha it's totally possible, this wasn't a scientific test by any means :)
This was oddly fascinating and I want more.
This was so intriguing! Now I want to try speed reading, but I wonder if it would take away from my enjoyment of the book. That would be an interesting thing to investigate!
this was so interesting!
Hi ariel i loved this video so much ! quick question where did you buy that type writer that was in the background of the video ? also i am going to try some of these tips to see if they help with my reading :)
Oh my goodness, this was a great video haha! So interesting :)
This is actually interesting. So trying this!
I LOVE YOUR NECKLACES
Yay I loved this video 😆📖
An interesting follow up study would be if you absorb information better when you're speed reading or at your regular pace
the links necklace looks rly good on u!
Hello! First of all, I really like your videos. I discovered your channel like a few days ago and I watched a bunch since then and I am really really in love with your videos, your discussions. I want to start a booktube channel soon, at least I hope so. And I kinda want to make videos like your discussions. I am not saying I am gonna take the topics that you've talked about and talk about them too. But having an account full of discussions about books(like not reviews, hauls, wrap ups BUT DISCUSSIONS) is something that I never saw. Every account has discussion videos but not like this. I cannot describe the difference but I just hope you'll get it.(Idk, maybe there is a bunch of booktube out there like yours, and these type of videos but I've never saw? I dont think so...) So is it ok for me to start a booktube channel, with discussion videos. I know this is not even stealing or something, I know there is a bunch of people who makes discussion videos and I know me asking this really weird but still, I want to. Because you are the one who inspired me.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is above all else THANK YOU for inspring me. Second, THANK YOU for making this videos because they are SO SO enjoyable. (Little note: My mother tongue is not english. So I am sorry if there is any weird sentence. I talk english pretty good but I make a lot of miskates when I am excited. AND I AM EXCITED RN.)
I've used a bit of speed reading for my class at uni, but I haven't wanted to do it more because I don't want my reading ways to change to be more productive :)
Since textbooks can be so dense and it's easy to lose my place, I think I'll try this there. It might be a great Booktube-a-thon technique, too!
I used to be a bit of a speeed reader back in elementary school, esp. due to the competitive nature my school had for the Accelerated Reading program. I could still understand what I was reading most of the time, but taking as many AR tests before the the school library closes was just too fun to pass up as well. I've slowed down over time, but I kinda miss it. I'm definitely more of the "mentally read aloud" type, but I occasionally sped read aloud as a kid.
I always look forward to your videos. You are one of my favourite RUclipsrs. And your content has always been amazing. Love from India 😙💖
The pacer thing works. I have to read so many chemistry journal articles. They are hard. I totally use my cursor in Acrobat to keep my place. I think I've stopped sub-vocalizing sometimes, but not consistently. I've read large chucks where when I close the book and realize I didn't "hear" that. But I'm not 100% sure. Might be worth looking into eventually, because sub-vocalization is basically the speed barrier.
1) This is so cool!!! I'd love to try this soon!
2) OMG YOU ARE READING RADIO SILENCE IT'S AN EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting. I tried following it when my finger and an item but I found it slower me down as I read fasting then my finger would go haha, Sitting up straight seemed to help though. PS like you hair at the end! X
Not saying the words is so hard!
I attempted these tips and it actually made me read slower than normal which is kind of strange because I was expecting it to make me speed up a lot more.
I use the technique of reading from three points and using my peripheral vision. That's about as far as I have gotten. But this was a very interesting video.
