Lesson In Speed Reading

PACING:

Hand movements can cause you to accelerate your reading speed. We’ll shortly teach you hand movements that will accelerate your reading ability. Try each one and see which suits you best.

BASIC PACING:

The basic pacing movement uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don’t move your head, keep it still.

The process is simple. You’ll replace all your bad habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. Here’s how it breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed.

You’ll read without sub-vocalizing, hearing it your mind.

To understand this concept, you must understand that you’ve got this nemesis, an inner voice who is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain. We did experiments in Hawaii, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your rate of speech won’t limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work.

Begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:

Extend your index finger, close all others. As you notice I’ve indicated a hand holding a pencil earlier to use for pacing. That can come later. Use you index finger as a beginner Speed reading student.

You’ll be reading twice as fast as you ever have. You’ll retain valuable information and increase your comprehension and improve your grades.

Um, none of this has anything to really do with speed reading. This is the first time I have seen “Moving your fingers faster than you can form the sounds in your throat” and I have read two books on speed reading and used the Speed Reader-X reading course(which is an excellent course for anyone serous about learning sr), none of them use this technique and I suspect because it would not work. Think about it, what is this method going to really do? It is going to hold you back and keep you sub-vocalizing which is exactly what you do not want. I dont think the advice in this article is very good and would advise anyone interested in speed reading to do some real research(not just hope to learn for free from a few website posts) and invest in a professional grade training system like Speed Reader-X or AceReader. Those are the top two programs on the market.
