There are two major methods of improving reading vocabulary. One is to read widely thus experiencing many words reading in their context. The other is to learn some basic reading skills such as eye-movement, phrase reading, identifying key words, skimming and scanning techniques.

　　3.4.1 Training eye-movement

　　Developing eye-hand co-ordination. Apart from being necessary for holding the book and turning the pages, the hands perform the unique function of leading the eyes down page after page with the smoothness and rhythm that characterize all successful rapid reading. Developing word and phrase recognition. Place your hand on the page, move your pacing hand from page to page smoothly. Have the eyes alert, try to see as many words as possible. Don’t slow down for any reason and don’t skim or skip words. Drive yourself to recognize all words as you pass over them. But I hear some students say, “What of I miss something?” In fact, students should practice increasing the rate their eyes more across the page. Do not let yourself “say” the words in your mind. Just know that you have seen the words and pass on many words at a time smoothly.

　　3.4.2 Avoid pronouncing words to yourself (no vocalization)

　　3.4.3 Minimizing regressions

　　3.4.4 Cultivate the habit of phrase reading (not word-for-word reading)

　　The great value of investigation in eye movements is the picture they furnish of the different ways the mind works in perceiving reading symbols: They tell us that the mind of the poor reader loafs along, picking up very small units at a time, while the eyes of the excellent reader race over the lines, gathering an entire meaningful idea at each glance.
