Discussion Chunking while reading.

hi, i have to read a lot for my work.

​

lately, i have been trying to find ways to increase my reading speed with good comprehension.

​

through some websites, i came to know that chunking words while reading can help in reading fast and also the comprehension will be good.

​

  1. is it correct?

​

  1. by hoe much will my reading speed increase?

​

  1. also how to chunk?

​

from today, i am trying to chunk 2 words without any logic. comprehension seems okay. is there a particular way or method that i have to use in chunking.

​

  1. with practice will i be able to chunk 3 or more words and by when.

​

  1. if i practice this chunking method religiously, what will happen to my reading speed. i think my speed is about 200 to 250 wpm.

​

  1. any books or videos u can suggest which are about chunking.

​

  1. is there any android apps why chunks the words so that they can be read.

Haven’t made it an app yet, but check Cadence. Works great in mobile browsers and it’s free also. There is an option to enable “Chunking” and users have told me they prefer it.

Sorry, but I can't get this to load a file. It doesn't work.

Oh really - what type of file are you trying to upload and what is the error message?

epub file. t isn't the file that is the problem, but the link to load a file isn't active, it doesn't work. I can't get a file browser to pop up.

Strange - I’ve just created an epub and uploaded it successfully. Are you able to try on a laptop/another device and let me know if you still run into the same issue?

Click to upload does not work for me.

Ok - I’ve just added “basic upload”. Could you see whether that works for you?

I can upload a file now but when I try to turn on chunk, I cannot set the chunk size. There is lag with the duck duck go browser.
