Speed Reading Programs

By Trevor John

Speed reading claims that it is possible for you to increase your reading speed from the sedate speed that it's probably at now, up to scarcely believable speeds of 1,000 words a minute and upwards.

Academic research doesn't confirm the results claimed by some of the speed reading programs that are on the market. But then academic tests don't always reflect real world conditions. There are certainly plenty of people in the world who claim that speed reading works for them.

Part of the trouble with our normal reading pattern is that we will actually "read out loud" inside our head. Reading out loud slows us down dramatically. If the speed reading course that you choose stops the amount of reading out loud that you do inside your head, then your reading speed will increase. Whether it gets as high as 1,000 words a minute will depend on how much you practice, but even if you only increase your reading speed by 50% then you'll be able to take in a lot more information than you do at the moment. Which, with today's information rich society, can only be a good thing.

The various speed reading courses on the market vary from a simple, cheap book right the way through to a full seminar. There are also self-teach courses that form a kind of half way house between these two extremes.

If you're considering speed reading for the first time, it may be best to start with a simple book and then, when you experience the results for yourself, progress to a full course to take your reading speed even higher.

Take your reading speed to it's highest possible level with photoreading. You can read at the speed you can turn the pages of a book and comprehend the majority of what you photoread.

Preparing for Success by Learning Speed Reading

By Adam Sullivan

There are a lot of things to learn about and do in life. Way too much to possibly learn about in the amount of time we're given. In fact, in many cases time is the constraining factor that fairly decides what we are going to do and how successful we will be.

In general, the more time you spend on something the better prepared you will be for success. This varies, however, in that different people take in information at different rates and can be more or less effective at retaining that information.

That would be where something like speed reading would come in. By a practiced increase of reading speed and reading comprehension it is possible to make less time count for more where anything reading is concerned. Added benefits may be an increased memory capacity and more mental discipline.

Speed reading is simply an accelerated rate of reading. Usually speed reading involves employing specific techniques to your reading that, with practice, can double or sometimes even more than double your reading speed.

If a person is aimed for success, things like reading speed and a sharp memory would seem to give them an extra edge. College students many times benifit from speed reading techniques. Studying becomes faster and more profitable. Speed reading can also be an easy way to impress someone.
