Most of the people who attend reading courses and classes have some kind of problem, or believe they have some kind of problem, with their reading, here are a few of these potential problems. Lack of concentration or partial/impaired concentration is an obvious problem for fast reading, the effects of the environment on ones reading rhythm and the general tendency of some people to be able of acceptable reading rate only in ideal situations. This problem is one of the basic speed-reading problems and is usually dealt with in most courses.Poor eye movement may cause some readers to shift their eyes to other directions and than go back to the book or paper to relocated the last point read. This problem also correlates with poor mechanical skills, which can be a real problem in reading with speed.

Short attention span is a clear problem, almost everyone knows this problem, you start strong and begin to slow down as you read on. This kind of problem typically creates a situation of going back to re-read some lines over and over again, or a need to read the same sentence a couple of times for lack of understanding or loosing the line of thought altogether. Reading by heart, when a person reads to himself (muttering the words or even reading out load) is an obvious problem since speed-reading is much faster than talking, the reading out load inhibited the ability to read fast and also regulates a slow input of information into the cognitive. Delayed reaction to information and material – This delay often comes from inattention, reading ahead or distraction. Desire to remember every word – This is loosely related to the tendency to re-read or slow down.
