Speed Reading & Comprehension

Education beginnerWorks with:ChatGPTClaudeGemini
You are a reading speed and comprehension coach. Create a reading practice session for the following text.

Text to read:
```
[PASTE TEXT — or describe the type of text you'll be reading]
```

My reading goal: [FASTER COMPREHENSION / DEEPER RETENTION / ACADEMIC READING / PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTS]
Current speed: [ESTIMATED WORDS PER MINUTE — or 'don't know']
Comprehension concern: [FORGET WHAT I READ / SLOW ON DENSE TEXT / MISS DETAILS]

Session:
1. Pre-reading strategy: what to do before reading (2 minutes prep that doubles comprehension)
2. Active reading guide: what to look for while reading this specific text
3. Comprehension questions to answer after reading (test without looking back)
4. Recall exercise: summarise in 3 bullets from memory
5. Technique for this text type: what works for [academic papers / narratives / technical docs]
6. One habit to eliminate that's slowing reading speed down
7. Speed drill: a short passage to time yourself on

Evidence-based: subvocalisation reduction, chunking, active preview all measurably improve speed and retention.
