A useful part of the Superficial Reading reading process. Speed reading methods emphasize establishing context and absorbing concepts rather than precise comprehension. It is ideal to be able to read at multiple speeds, specifically with an eye to which sections can be quickly skimmed and which sections will necessitate a more thorough Analytical Reading.
“Many books are hardly worth skimming, some should be read quickly, and few read at a rate that allows for complete comprehension.”
