Speed Reading

• Develop "traditional" old fashioned speed reading
  habits first
• Once thoroughly ingrained it will allow the
  student to input and scan information quickly
• Reading becomes habitualized at mostly an
  unconscious level.
• In this version of speed reading, rather than the
  incoming flow of information being the focus of
  attention, active cognitive processes that
  organize information dominate.
• See references to Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

Mind Mapping

• Basically going through information in order to
  find the major concepts
• A student can create a visual Mind Map or a
  Linear Mind Map
