Welcome to the Online Speed-Reading Course. This is a program aimed at helping business professionals and managers to become proficient online readers who will enhance their reading skills through the use of proven speed-reading tactics and techniques.
Before we begin to get into the lessons and information provided through this courseware, it is a good idea to get a bit of background on speed reading and how it is far more than some kind of parlor trick or unproductive tactic.
Did you know that you can read (if you have not already attempted other speed reading courses or techniques) around 250 words per minute? This speed is also going to mean that you are reading as fast as possible and probably not understanding all that you have just scanned or attempted to take in.
What is interesting is that the reading habits you have developed over the years are what tends to put this “cap” or limit on the number of words your brain can take in at any given time.
For example, there is an eye movement known as “regression,” which is used by speed readers to describe one of the worst reading habits. It is the description of the way that a reader allows their eyes to return to previously read words, phrases, or entire sentences. Many people do this without being aware of it, and it drastically slows their reading speed and impacts their comprehension.
Applying speed reading techniques to such a habit can improve reading times and increase the reader’s understanding of the text. $2.99 on Kindle.
