I think this is the most honest and helpful video I've seen on speed reading yet
Nice! It's genuinely something I'm using every single day now and slowly progressing my speed reading full books, such an untapped skill!
What is the progress now?
That one unemployed friend on a Tuesday
Agreeable

Not me being unemployed and learning this on a Tuesday
Employment is slavery

Such an amazing storytelling and video editing. Worth the time to go through your videos.
You likely won’t see this, but I just wanted to say you are a very inspiring creator. Your passion in learning new (and often useful) skills is very respectable and something I wish to replicate in my future (if I can find time in my busy schedule 😂). But thank you for making such enjoyable and inspiring content.
You're my homies, I read all these comments! ❤
Stoked you like what I do! Make sure to carve out even a tiny bit of time each day/week and you'll see more progress than you think!
@TommoCarroll so that's the real reason you did this video🤔
This made me subscribe. All these videos inspire me and are so cool. Keep it up!
you have such a unique way of making videos i was surprised that the video is actually 10 minutes !! I couldn’t get bored along the whole video. ✨
thank you for the tips they really gonna help me this upcoming winter
That's what I like to hear! So many more videos coming soon for you!
Speed reading is like speed typing or speed talking. It limits you only up to the point were your comprehention/generation speed walls you.
Technically the solution to hit your comprehention/generation limit as easily as possible with the least downsides is to write in dense ways, or read dense things.
Dense in the sense that there is very little fluff.
For example languages that are litterally shorter yet convey the same meaning. English is one of the best for this.
Another example is there are programing languages that have purposely created "grammer" that is very dense with information.
And for writing you can develop an ideolect with words or symbols that you yourself define as meaning certain common things. This is why terminology specific to types of things gets created. Like engineering specific slang, or gamer specific slang. These are words created to "densify" meaning. And you can do so yourself with your own writing and speech and its called your "ideolect".
For reading you can look for dense technical summaries of books. Or look for books were in the preview you can see the writer writes with dense wording.
All these examples allow for your comprehention/generation speed to be the limiter.
And as for speeding that up it isnt so simple. Its mostly a matter of familizing yourself with more abstractions... since your base speed is in many ways fixed and the abstractions you are familiar with are the tools that multiply your base speed. Creating a good ideolect or learning new actually useful words is good (so not learning "portcullus" instead of "castle gate" since you will have to put an insane amount of effort to make portcullus easier for your mind to work with than castle gate... and even then if that effort went into castle gate you would be faster at comprehending things that involved castles or gates that werent castle gate, vs portcullus which is very neiche).
Learning fallacies and common statistical techniciques are more examples of abstraction tools you can familiarize yourself with to increase the multiplier to your mind's base speed.
Thanks for these tips will come handy in many of the exams which involve fast comprehension skills
Good to hear 💪
Another outstanding video, Tommo! Thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers from Brazil!
And another outstanding comment Eduardo, cheers from the UK!
@@TommoCarroll My pleasure!
Thanks a lot for these valuable tips. I love reading but it seems that I read in the wrong way. Thanks to You Tube videos I am learning how to read properly and fast 😊
Awesome video, insane how much of an improvement you made! Have some brownie points ;)
Cheers bro, I've already eaten the brownies though SEND MORE
Well I guess I will give it a try. Right now my comfortable reading speed is 0 words per minut. If I could get that op to 300 words per minut that would make a huge change.
As it is now I always go for 100% comprehension, cause I am not going to read the same book two time.
I hear you! It wasn't until recently that I was trying to read regularly and that's when I realised my speed was realllly getting in the way of getting through even books that I was enjoying. Give it a go and report back
This guy is my inspiration. I’ve learned so many skills from watching him.
Hey tommo lov ur vids i was wondering if you could learn yoyo tricks i would love to see you use a yoyo tysm
You got yourself a new subscriber
Dude you're genuinely one of the most underrated editors/creators on this platform
Thanks mate, I appreciate that! Working on a loooooooooad more, so time to go from underrated to rated...and maybe even overrated 🤞
Also cutest
09:04 😂😂😂 you had to do it 😂😂😂
I often "travel" between both styles of reading but I'm not good at comprehension when I'm fast reading something I don't enjoy. Maybe I'll try relearning how to fast read.
GG to you, Mr. Average 😂
Mr Average....oh no, not a name I expected this week but i'll take it 🤣
Read the Bible
As an already fast reader, Im curious to see if I can reach super speed with this
Report back your results!
Are you super speed yet?
I struggle with reading so much. I can manage work stuff but reading a book is so difficult for me. ADHD mind can’t cope.
I love your videos 🎉
this man is the defanition of awesome
After seeing this video I would be choosing the 2nd technique due to my lack of attention. But does it give way to bad postures ( neck ) ?
I wish schools would teach these for reading instead of Round Robin
Pls learn a fingerboard trick
Like kickflip, po shiv, or anything
😊😊😊
Would be interested to see how this would work for a dyslexic like myself.
Would love to hear the results if you've experimented with it!
What site you use for checking comprehensive reading test?
Wow.... Such a change but will you remember the content afterwards?
As someone who reads 10-15 books a week, i will say that the more you read, the faster you get. Also, that i thought the average reading speed was a lot higher.
I'm sure average is weighed down by the 80+% of the world that barely read anything substantive.
@@jordonhodges8493 that would make a lot more sense.
Probably very right!
@@jordonhodges8493
10-15 A WEEK!? That is wild! I'm not worthy 🙇♂
@@TommoCarroll you'll join the bookworm crew soon enough, you just need to find some really good books.
I remember looking in to the actual research about this a while back and the science seemed fairly clear: Theres no such thing as speed reading...Okay, Ill clarify that a bit.
If you are unpracticed at reading then you will speed up as you get more comfortable, much of that is what you see in this video. In the long term you will see modest improvements as you learn a greater vocabulary and a bunch of language structure etc, but once youve found your level there is no evidence that any individual can utilise any trick or technique that will _dramatically_ increase their pace while still retaining anywhere near a complete understanding of the text.
Carroll could test this more thoroughly himself,
-Give it a few months of regular reading then do your test on speed and comprehension. That is your baseline.
-Try on all these tricks and such that supposedly dramatically improve the pace.
-Repeat the test to see if you can obtain a higher speed with the same level of comprehension.
Perhaps he will be an outlier but the science suggests he will see little improvement.
A more realistic skill is to learn how to skim through texts, locate relevant words, headings, etc, and focus down information. This can give the impression of speed reading, but is no such thing, you are just rapidly finding the relevant sections you will then read at a more or less typical speed before piecing it all together. These kinds of methods of using the trade offs between speed and comprehension have a lot of practical usage, but as far as all the evidence is concerned you will never achieve both.
That all said, reading is good for the brain, just committing to a minimum of a chapter or 10,20 pages a day can help. Youd be surprised at how many books you start to consume with a steady bog standard pace. (It personally also helped a great deal getting an e-reader as all the books are right there. No need to buy them in, look through my shelves etc, my entire library is right in my hand, just pick and go. Not to mention you have instant access to thousands of classics in the public domain.)
U really make good video's
And you really make good comments, cheers!
i have been in England not that long ago 😊
I mean I can sometimes read a whole diary of a wimpy in a day
Read fiction faster and nonfics at comfortable speed with more comprehension. That's what I'm gonna try.
What would you do if i gave you a time machine 😊😊
Have you tried Howard Berg's book? Super Reading Secrets?
Bonus bonus tip: Stop narrating every single word in your head. It's a bad reading habit.
Your brain can process words and their meaning ridiculously fast. But it slows down to match the speed of the voice in your head.
You are no longer in kindergarden. You don't actually need to talk to understand what you are reading.
I read that this is a bit of a BS tip so I decided not to include it. But if it works for you and others, crack on!
Interesting...
I used to have a 600 wpm in 2020. Then I deliberately started reading slower to better savour my books since I was going through them too quickly. No joke, I once completed a 500 page book in just under 2 hours.
Recently I rechecked my speed after nearly 2.5 years and it has fallen to around 500 words.
So... not bad but room for improvement. 1000 wpm is the ultimate dream.
Also, is it just me or does everyone read slower on a screen than an actual physical book?
Most people do indeed read slower on screen, but that's because they're trying to replicate paper (black text on white) medium/light grey text on black is MUCH easier and faster to read..... not white text though (unless your screen isn't very bright) as that just causes eye strain.
This is a speed that my brain just refuses to comprehend. You're a king/queen of reading 🙇♂
@@TommoCarroll Thanks. Anyone can develop a reading habit imo, you just need to find the right kind of books for you. In my case that just so happened to be fantasy books with 400 pages average. When you have a series of 6 of these, and you are too curious to know what happens next, you naturally end up with higher speed after a few years. 😅😅😅
Wow I imagine that lol, must be fun asfff
But I'm stuck with school books for this year and the next one lol, I guess I can learn to speed read even though my average speed is 300 wpm lol
Thanks for even more inspiration, also 500 wpm is insane dude, what's the comprehension though?@@Creative___Mind
@@LostKin Pretty close to 100%, though sometimes if I don't find it interesting or am stressed or something else, it may drop to as low as 60-75%.
can you learn the Ukranian "Hopak" dance for a vid plz, i have been doing this for like 4-5 months now and i'd love to see you try lol!
Im wtching and andbim seeing people adding comments
bro just read super fast for a whole day
Depends how
If you just speed so fast you can just repeat words and not read
I was reading the same thing
Nice video!.
Cheers!
I just lok and I automatically read it
Now read it upside down
ALEX, from Sierra Leone.
I think some people use this video to literally PROCRASTINATE against reading
I mean they watch this video like 1000 times without touching the book lol
I am just wondering will you make more science videos in the future? While I do like these videos I kinda miss the “aspect science” side of this channel I guess. Anyway just wondering.
Sorry to say it, but the Aspect Science days are long gone for this channel. I appreciate the love for it though ❤️
Alright, btw congrats on getting more than 25 million views on a short that’s pretty crazy@@TommoCarroll
Yeah when I read I fell board like 4 pages later I fell board
Happens to me so much
Book Wornmm mmmie
Noice video
You didn't even watch it, be honest. You just commented fast just to try to be first which you're not.
@@CanadianBakin42O Exactly. Their comment was posted 15 minutes ago, and the video was uploaded 16 minutes ago (at the time of typing this.) I'm sure they watched a 10 minute, 30 second video in 1 minute. 😅
I reposted this comment, because your CZcams handle was posted as plain text.
@@CanadianBakin42Owould you like this or kids saying fIrSt
Cheers!
And the sponsor of this video is Audible. Just listen to the books on 3x speed
Damn I really should have got an audible sponsorship in shoudn't I?
but how much can you comprehend and memorize of a text, if you apply these techniques? Just reading it fast won't give you any benefits, if you won't be able to follow the message.
You can see my comprehension scores 👍
Are you related to me, my last name is Carroll

I love that idea !
Can’t wait till I hit 1 mil
Til you do??? To be fair, this is a joint effort!
were you going for the Charlie Chaplin mustache? because you got the other German guy...
what are you on about?
But is reading really the best way to gain knowledge?
I don't think there is a best way, there's 1000 ways to gain knowledge and all of them are good
I READ to UNDERSTAND, LEARN NEW WORDS & MAKE NOTES.... SPEED READING without UNDERSTANDING is NOT NECESSARY!

Good work bro !
love your contents
U should learn how to sky dive by ur self
why am I trying to speed read comments..
it's working...
You didn't practice at all reading only the spacing between the words, aside from your mention in the beginning of course. That might help
…what?
@@TommoCarroll you said in the beginning of the video that using your peripheral vision for reading can be used in 2 ways: 1. reading the "middle" of the sentence by drawing 2 lines. 2. Reading only the spaces between the words so that you always read 2 words at a time. You focused the entire video on number 1 but avoided number. I would like to know what it is like for you when you practice number 2.
