Speed reading is a crucial skill for anyone serious about their education in any field. Whether you would like to be very well informed on world news, or you're interested in learning a new skill, reading can help you - and therefore speed reading can help you even more.
Speed reading is a true upgrade to reading. If you speed read a non-fiction book, it will not only save time, but be more useful than if you had read it slowly. This is because comprehension improves along with reading speed - as long as you know how to speed read.
Learning how to speed read is simpler than you think. It doesn't take hours of listening to audio-books, or days of attending seminars - speed reading can actually be explained perfectly well in writing. You can learn how to speed read in just an hour - starting now.
By realizing what it takes exactly to read these words - these groups of symbols - it becomes possible to identify all you need to do to be able to read. These groups of words we call sentences, and the groups of sentences we call paragraphs, are all made up of combinations of 26 identifiable squiggles we call letters.
But the letters don't matter, because you've read so much that you already know the words. It's dangerous to try to know all the sentences, and impossible to know all the possible paragraphs. But if you can just focus on the words, and take advantage of what you already know about the language you're reading and the format the words are contained in, it is possible to increase your reading speed dramatically - without harming your comprehension at all.
The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) conducted an experiment involving investigating the brain activities using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), focusing on the differences of brain activity between normal reading, and speed reading. The results of the experiment showed that regular reading activates Wernicke's and Broca's areas, which are considered to play a critical part in language processing.
Here's a quote directly from the article: "Wernicke's area is near the auditory area, which receives signals from the ear. If this area is damaged, one experiences difficulty in understanding the contents of conversations or in selecting sounds of speech. Broca's area is near the motor area, which controls the muscles of the mouth and the lips. It is reported to be related with speaking and processing grammar.
"Even in silent reading without uttering the words, it is believed that humans usually read the text by converting the characters to voice in the mind. It is reported that the activity of Wernicke's and Broca's areas increases as the speed of silent reading increases in normal silent reading. On the other hand, this experiment indicates that the language processing in the brain such as the conversion of characters to voice is omitted in speed reading."
This should sound a little familiar to you. Do you sometimes hear a voice in your mind that reads the text to you? Some people are even one step closer to reading out loud - they move their lips as if speaking the words silently to themselves. In other words, regular silent reading is very similar to reading out loud, only no sound is emitted, and it's a little faster. As long as the voice is there, your reading speed will be capped at just above your out-loud reading speed.
As the NICT article said, to speed read, you just have to omit the auditory processes associated with regular reading. Speed reading is about reading visually.
When you speed read, you read at the maximum speed at which you can recognize, identify, and comprehend the words - instead of reading at the maximum speed at which you can speak the words.
Speed reading is more efficient and more effective than regular reading. There is a Speed Reading Manual available on the internet that can show you how you can upgrade your reading. This is the one speed reading product that is truly a must-buy for anyone hoping to save time and improve reading comprehension.
If you've already bought speed reading products in the past, you'll find that this Manual dwarfs them all in comparison. This manual has the strength of multiple other products combined - and is therefore way more valuable than any other individual product.
Inside, you will find a detailed analysis of several different speed reading techniques and exercises, as well as an evaluation of how well each technique works when reading different types of reading material.
Imagine what it would be like to read three times as much as you do now. Imagine what it would be like to read (and understand!) a full-length novel in 2 hours. Picture in your mind all the books you would pick up from the library. You will be so excited about how much you can learn in a short amount of time, that your eagerness for knowledge will be completely rejuvenated.
The Speed Reading Manual is guaranteed to work. Learn how to speed read today.
Author's Bio
Adam Harley has learned how to speed read in just a couple months. His learning was accelerated by programs like Bullet Read, Zap-Reader, and the Speed Reading Manual. He is able to recognize, identify, and understand words at a speed of 1500 words per minute, but does most of his reading at 600 words per minute, to maintain maximum comprehension of the text he reads.
Adam Harley is now helping develop more speed reading programs, and is trying to bring its benefits to as many people as possible.
