Just like you don’t need to hear every single word, you don’t need to read every single word. If you think about it, each sentence usually has only a few important words – the rest is just “filler.” How many relatively meaningless, “connecting” words (like the, is, and, of, with, and so on) are in each sentence? Many. When you pick up your reading speed, you’ll start trusting your mind to automatically absorb these filler words so that your attention will only be consumed by those few important ones in each sentence.
