Follow–up on Speed reading

Heres a summary of how I've been getting on with my action points

1. I will use a pointer such as my finger or pencil to keep me more focus on my reading.
   

   The green pencil given by Warwick has been my favourite pointer since I can easily use it to circle some key points. And, the bright colour of the pencil somehow make me more enthusiastic in reading :)

   
   
2. I will reduce subvocalization when I am reading the texts.
   

   This is the most difficult part for me to apply since I get used to do it even sometimes I like to read aloud the text in order to practice my pronunciation. I am more counting on the pointer to read faster by tapping it to the middle of the text and skip the first and last word of a sentence if the text is not a new theory. I think that I still need some practices and suggestions to reduce the subvocalization when reading a text.

   
   
3. I will avoid "skip-backing" on materials that I read or try reading more slowly if the materials are new or difficult topics.
   

   I have been able to implement the "skip-backing" and able to help saving my reading time. However, in several cases, I am still doing "skip-backing" if I can't understand the idea or topic after reading the whole text.
