When speed reading it can be difficult to carry on at speed if you keep on coming across words that you do not understand or know what they mean. This is why it is so important for anyone who wants to improve there speed reading skills to improve there vocabulary.

Improving your vocabulary is one of those things that you need to make a continual effort on improving instead of just doing it one time and getting over with, because I mean for example you would not get very much value out of sitting down and reading all of the dictionary before you begin to learn to speed read.

Instead of doing it all in one big chunk of work it is better to do it daily, learning only a few words a day and over time this will add up And gradually increase your vocabulary and as a result your reading speed.

What I like to do is keep my eyes out and ears out when in conversation with people for new words I don’t know, and then when I read or hear new words I will ask the person using that word what they mean by it, and also go and look in the dictionary.

It can be useful to do both, asking the person and looking it up in the dictionary,   because many words can actually have multiple meanings depending in which context they are being used.

Developing vocabulary for speed reading

The best benefit you will  get from increasing your vocabulary is that you will be also increasing your reading speed at the same time. The bigger your vocabulary is the faster you will be able to read.

Ways you can increase your vocabulary

1) Pay attention to new words you come across and learn there meaning

2) Use you new vocabulary

3) Familiarize yourself with the roots of words.

Another big piece that is important to work on in order to become a fast speed reader, is to boost your speed reading stamina, your speed reading stamina is the amount of time you are able to read at speed for with good comprehension and recall.

Readers are leaders and in this article you will learn several simple to implement Speed Reading Secrets that will assist you in efficiently absorbing all that information out there.

First Speed Reading Secret!

Before we begin, here’s a concept that you MUST understand about speed reading: shaving just a fraction-of-a-second off every page that your read will create a HUGE difference in your reading rate.

Even if you were able to shave just 1 second off the time it takes you to read a page that would still be FIVE minutes off a normal 300-page book!

So, it’s not always necessary to aim for the spectacular – just a little growth here and there will make a world of difference.

Even when it comes to something as basic as paging and pacing techniques…

When it comes to speed reading, learning to use your hands correctly and efficiently will require that you train yourself to accomplish the following 3 tasks:

1. Use your hands to guide and pace your eye movements through the text

2. Use your hands to force your eye to constantly scan through new information

3. Use your hands to prevent your eyes from repeatedly reading the same words

The Speed Reading Hand Motion:

Although it may seem uncomfortable at first, the ideal use of the hands of a right-handed person would be to use your left hand to pace your reading and your right hand to turn the pages.

To begin reading, place your hand at the start of a line. Move your hand towards the right hand margin. Make sure to focus your eyes upon the text that your hand is pointing towards.

When you reach the end of the current line, move your hand to the start of the next line. Repeat this method to the end of the page. To make paging faster, make sure that your right hand is always positioned at the top right hand corner of the book.

Go ahead and practice this movement. You don’t need to worry about reading any of the text, just practice the hand motion and paging techniques for now. Make sure that you are able to rapidly move through the pages of your book.

Believe it or not, you can reach the place where your reading speed explodes to the point that your paging and pacing hands will have a hard time just trying to keep up!

In the next part of this article, I will show you how you can begin improving your comprehension of text so that when you begin reading at the higher speed you will actually have a BETTER understanding of the text that you did at your lower reading speeds!

Your Second Speed Reading Secret!

Here’s something that you don’t hear everyday…

You CAN comprehend details better at higher speeds!

This is not a prank. In fact, if you will spend the next few moments reading through this email I’ll teach you some valuable insights into how you can begin improving your comprehension by leaps and bounds within just minutes.

The key to instantly increasing your comprehension of any book and any topic is to get familiar with the following universal publication tips. (Yes, these tips apply to almost every publication and can be applied immediately)

1. The first and last chapters of a book introduce and summarize its contents.

2. The first and last paragraph in a chapter introduce and summarize the contents of that particular chapter

3. Some books (such as text books and even most translations of the Bible) contain topic and summary sentences within their structure with introduce and summarize its contents

4. The VERBS and NOUNS of a sentence offer the *most important* information.

5. Be aware and ’sensitize’ yourself (through practice) to the use of negative words. Negative words (such as ‘not’, ‘no’, ‘can’t'…etc) can reverse the meanings of large groups of words – so keep a lookout for them.

6. By the same token, you also need to keep an eye out for the conditional tense. Conditional tense words (such as ‘could’, ‘if’, ’should’…etc) can also affect or change the meanings of a large body of words.

If you’ve been following with me then you’ll have already learned some valuable reading techniques that you can use to trim your reading time down AND improve your comprehension.

I’m going to give you just a few more tips on how you can use a book’s format to further increase your comprehension.

1. Don’t skip over reading the front and rear jackets of a book. These can really give anyone valuable insights into why the book was written and thus give you some insight into what you can expect.

2. By the same token, always check out the book’s forward and introduction. Oftentimes these overlooked segments can remove a lot of the confusion that arises when you have no idea about the authors intended direction BEFORE you begin reading

3. ALWAYS read the table of contents. It’s the author’s outline and will ‘prime your brain’ to his writing style and thus improve your understanding of his book’s structure.

4. Don’t just let the words ramble on in your mind. Make an effort to *actively read” the book. This means that you should continuously be asking yourself questions about what you’ve just read. Attempt to summarize the information you’ve just read at frequent intervals. By doing this you will soon discover your current level of comprehension and recall.

5. Devour charts and diagrams. If your book contains these features make sure that you stop and take time to actually understand the drawings and diagrams. Spending a few extra moments contemplating these features will ultimately increase your overall reading speed because you will have a clear visual representation of the information you’ve just read.

6. Make use of the glossary and index usually found at the end of most books.

Your Fourth Speed Reading Secret!

Now I’m going to show you an *exciting* part of any speed reading program.

It’s called skimming. Although it doesn’t actually involve ‘reading’ in the traditional sense of the word, it DOES allow you to experience some of the thrill of rapidly devouring vast amounts of information at blistering speeds.

If you are able to, it is always best to ’skim’ any book before you read it. (Whether you will be reading it at high speed or normal speed)

When you are skimming, what you are really looking for is the format of the book you will be reading.

It helps to give you visual clues to what you can expect and it allows you to compensate for some of those challenges.

At this point, let me take a moment to define what my definition is of skimming.

The process of skimming is nothing but the exercise of going through the ENTIRE book you plan to read (or speed read) at a rate of about TWO to THREE SECOND PER PAGE – MAXIMUM!

When you skim, here are some of the details that you are looking for…

Font and type sizes used

The presence or absence of chapters

The presence or absence of columns

The presence or absence of headings/sub-headings

Parts of the book

Diagrams and pictures

Any unusual or helpful features

Armed with the information that you acquire from skimming, you will be amazed at how DRAMATICALLY it influences your reading speed – even without using some of the other speed reading technology out there.

Your Fifth Speed Reading Secret!

How would you like to know the secret techniques to master different types of reading?

Well, that’s EXACTLY what I’m here to show you right now!

Are you just reading for pleasure? Do you need to study? Are you reading to develop a new skill?

Here is a quick reference guide to how YOU can get the most out of your reading experience by using a few simple guidelines.

PLEASURE READING

Do not skim or review the materials. Simply read at a comfortable rate.

HOBBY AND SPECIAL INTEREST

Perform a short skim, and re
view. Spend the majority of the time reading.

STUDYING

Spend about half the time reading and half the time skimming and reviewing materials Do NOT over-read. Read once though a chapter at your best comprehension speed, (highlight areas of confusion by placing a light pencil mark next to them – but do NOT stop at this point) then skim and review the materials. Lastly, return to the areas that require a more in depth analysis and work through them.

MAXIMUM POTENTIAL READING

Spend 70% of your time reviewing materials, and 10% skimming. Only read 20% of the time. Use the reading skills that you’ve learnt during this email course to locate key information. Place your emphasis on taking notes and studying.

There are many ways to fight speeding tickets. The best ways are probably NOT ways the average person has heard about. Speedticketbeaters.com presents the “Definitive List of Speeding Ticket Myths”. Read and learn.

Nearly everyone reading this article is going to get a speed ticket at some time in their life. This list will help you join an elite “club” of speed ticket beaters!

A longer list exists at Speedticketbeaters.com.

Below are the most common falsehoods, and why they are false.

1) “Traffic school will get you out of the ticket” – This is not true. Traffic school does nothing but guarantees you pay a fine (all you did was plead guilty and traffic school was part of the penalty), have a guilty on your record, and maybe drop the points on your license. But points on your license are NOT where insurance increases are determined. Points relate to state DMV issues (ie: suspension and revokation). Guilty pleas determine insurance increases! So you have left yourself sitting in heap of trouble (if not now, later when you get another speed ticket). 

2) “Finding Mistakes in how the ticket was written will get you out of the speed ticket” – Unless you were driving (for example) a blue Porsche, and they wrote (for example) a white Chevy pick up truck, this strategy does not get you out of a speeding ticket! The cop has to get it as wrong as our example, for a ticket writing error to work. Otherwise, nope. All of the other mistakes you can think of will also fail to beat your speed ticket!

3) “Downloadable E-Books or other books can teach you enough to win”- Books do not take the specifics of your speed ticket into account. They also require way too much reading and learning of law for the average person to comprehend in a short time. And book info is too generic and non specific to your case to beat your speeding ticket. If you’d like to walk into traffic court with the defense they’ve heard before and are prepared for, buy a book. If you want to win in your speeding case…plan on getting more creative.

4) “Repeatedly getting continuances/delaying the trial will help” – The cop will likely still show up at the eventual date. Then what are you going to do? You need to show up, prepared to fight your speed ticket and win, because the cop will probably be there.

5) ”Free legal advice from regular people on internet speeding ticket forums should be enough to learn the best strategies” – Do you know how to beat your speed ticket? Neither do the other people on the forums you’re reading! If you want to win, you better get expert defense strategies in place from sources like Speedticketbeaters.com.

6) “A Radar detector will warn me of cops in the area” - A radar detector will warn you of cops in the area who are using radar to trap you into a speed ticket. But what if they are using vascar. laser, lidar, or pacing? (And detectors miss lots of the radar too).

7) “Lawyers know how to beat speeding tickets” – Lawyers do NOT study how to beat speed tickets in law school! If you hire a lawyer, you will end up spending a fortune in legal fees, and will still lose in court. All the lawyer will do is plea bargain, and you’ll still pay a fine! Plea bargaining is not winning.

“Saying that you didn’t see the speed limit sign or know the limit changed should work” – That is not the traffic courts problem..it’s yours! If you want to be a speed ticket beater, you need to get a better defense than that.

9) “The cop has to show you the radar (or laser, etc) if you ask to see it” – They are not required to show you anything! Have you ever heard of a guy being arrested for murder, who had a right to see the evidence at the scene of the arrest, or the arrest is invalid? (Neither have we)!

10) “Saying the cop had your speed wrong should do it” – Cops (NOT YOU) are presumed by the traffic courts and judges to have accurate information, and to be telling the truth. No one in the court cares what you think!

11) ”Passengers in your car can confirm the cop has things wrong” – Same problem as # 10, with one minor alteration…No one in the court cares what your passengers think!

12) “You can claim that the cop got the speed of another car, not your car” – Again, same problem as # 10 above.

13) “You can claim you were going the same speed as the flow of traffic, it’ wasn’t fair to pick you out of the crowd” – A cop can pick anyone he wants “out of the crowd” of cars, when he is writing a speed ticket. It was your unlucky day. “Fairness” is not in the debate.

14) “You know that your car can’t go as fast as the cop says it went” - Again, same problem as # 10. And no traffic judge will care what “proof” you can show. Beating your speeding ticket requires much better stuff than this!

15) “You can say that you had your cruise control set to just a few miles per hour over the limit” – Congratulations. If you say this in traffic court you’ll be found guilty immediately. You cannot ever admit to doing even 1 MPH over the limit! This is the equivalent of a thief saying, that the cops are wrong because he “stole $900″, not “$1000″. The thief just admitted to stealing! There is no such thing as “partial guilt”!

16) ”Tell them that your speedometer, cruise control, or some other aspect of your car was malfunctioning” – That is your problem, not the traffic courts. They don’t care! Are you trying to beat your speed ticket, or get laughed out of the courtroom?

17) “Mention that you were driving a rental car, or someone elses car” – They are ticketing YOU the driver…NOT the car! They didin’t write a ticket saying “Timmy was behaving perfectly well, but his Toyota is nuts!”

18) ”You think because you have a CDL license, the rules are different for you” – Were you driving a vehicle, with wheels? Then you have a speed ticket. Just like anyone else! (In fact, if anything your speed limit is lower than the rest of traffic).

19) “Point out that your license is from a different state than the one you were in” - All 50 states are linked up. Your insurance carrier will be informed of the violation, and it will affect you. There is no hiding from the law. Get a real speeding ticket defense, or you will be sorry…

20) “The ticket says no court appearance is required, so it’s no big deal” – No appearance is required if you are paying your fine and pleading guilty. But that is not what you are doing. To win in a speed ticket case, a court appearance will be required! You need to come in with a defense, and beat the speeding ticket!

21) “You can fight the ticket with a mail in a defense (”Trial by declaration”) and still win” – Almost never works. If you really want to win, you are going to have to appear in court. Besides the things regular people write in these mail in defenses end up being incriminating. (And most states do not allow mail in defenses anyway).

22) “You can’t make it on the date they assigned you to be in court, so they have to just cancel the whole thing” – Court dates can be changed by your request or theirs. But if you don’t pick a date, and appear on that date.. You will automatically lose!

23) “Tell them you live out of state and can’t get to the trial because it’s too far away” – Traffic courts have no mercy! This plan will not work. Remember, they will give you a date months away if needed…But if you don’t agree to some date…IT’S OVER, you lose! (So schedule it for the next time you are going to be in that area anyway).

24) “You just need to get them to reduce the speed they are accusing you of” – That does not help you. 1 mile per hour over the limit is enough for them to find you guilty and make you pay up! Getting a speed ticket defense, from Speedticketbeaters.com is a much safer plan.

25) “The cop did you a “favor” and wrote the ticket for a lower speed, so that should help” -  No it won’t! The cop made you think he’s/she’s such a nice cop, that now you
aren’t very motivated to fight the ticket. That was their strategy. They did the city “a favor”, not you! They think you’re just going to give up “nicely”, since they were so “nice” to you.

26) ”The cop did not have his lights on, or was in a location that you think was illegal to sit in” – Cops have the legal authority to determine who was speeding while sitting in any location they wish, with their vehicle in any condition they wish! Study # 10 over again. No judge cares what you think!

27) “Tell them you were sick or speeding for some important reason” – Doesn’t matter. The minute you admit in court to speeding, it’s over. You lose. They don’t care what your reason was.

28) “Point out that you have a clean driving” – So what. That would be like hoping the judge excuses the sizeable amount of narcotics you were caught selling, because you hadn’t been caught selling narcotics before. Your clean past is not taken into consideration! Beat your speeding ticket, and to do so get a serious defense at Speedticketbeaters.com.

29) “Getting the fine and points reduced on your ticket does the trick” - Do a destruction, not reduction! Don’t negotiate, eliminate! If you want to lose money by still paying some kind of “reduced fine”, traffic ticket lawyers are great at losing (we hope you caught the saracsm). All they know how to do is plea bargain and have you lose money due to your “lower speed” guilty plea. Besides, half of them are probably doing corrupt “kick backs” with the court)! We haven’t heard of a traffic lawyer yet, that actually knows how to beat a speed ticket! But at Speedticketbeaters.com, we know how to beat speeding tickets. All we do, all day every day, is beat speeding tickets! We are the true speed ticket beaters!

Here’s the bottom line…NONE of the above ideas work! Stop trying to think of ways out of your speed ticket. The courts goal is to steal your money for the counties use. They will ignore any of your (non expert) defense ideas.

Get serious, and get a hardcore speed ticket defense! Speedticketbeaters.com is the place to do that.
