Module 2. Multi-Dimensional Speed Reading Techniques (Chapters 7 - 12)

This module covers the essential techniques to increase reading speed.

oBasic linear reading; line by line in a ‘forward’ eye movement. A forward eye movement in reading English text is left to right along horizontal textual lines. Other languages have 'forward' eye movements from right to left or top to down. You can increase linear reading speeds up to a level but then you will need to progress to intermediate and advanced reading techniques involving backward, diagonal and vertical eye movements.

oIntermediate techniques to increase speeds while reading a group of lines in a ‘forward’ eye movement followed by a group of lines in a ‘backward’ eye movement.

oAdvanced techniques to increase speeds while reading a group of lines in a ‘forward diagonal’ eye movement followed by a group of lines in a ‘backward diagonal’ eye movement. The movements can be paragraph or page oriented. The paragraph and page techniques can be used separately or in combintaion to achieve specific reading objectives.

Module 3. Comprehension, Retention and Recall (Chapters 13 - 15)

This module covers the essential techniques to increase your comprehension, retention and recall abilities while reading at high speeds.

Comprehension at High Speeds
Paragraphs are Reading Currency
Vocabulary: Your Secret Weapon

Module 4. Gym Speed Reading Real-World Workouts (Chapters 16 - 18)

This module covers the essential workouts, using your own reading material, for practicing high-speed reading, comprehension and recall techniques. This module is highly recommended after completing the corresponding units to ensure proper practice routines are established. Effective speed reading must become a habit, a combination of knowledge, skill and desire, to ensure long-term benefits. Otherwise, you are more likely to revert to your ‘old’ reading habit and gradually lose your speed reading advantage.

Gym Speed Reading Dynamic Workouts

This module covers the essential workouts, using online, dynamic and interactive exercises for practicing high-speed reading, comprehension and recall techniques. The exercises offer a dynamic environment, with random or choice-driven selection of materials, which will challenge your current reading speeds, comprehension and recall. This module is vital to achieve significant improvements in your effective speed reading. It also provides you a unique and enjoyable experience.

The Habits of Amazing Speed Readers (YOU. Yes You, with a little help from us)
Achieving high reading speeds is developing the following abilities into a new habit: 1. Eliminate Bad Reading Habits (e.g. regression) 2. Use Reading Accelerators Efficiently (e.g. hand) 3. Master Mechanical Movements (e.g. turning pages) 4. Increase Horizontal Vision Span (see more line words per eye fixation) 5. Increase Vertical Vision Span (see more lines per eye fixation) 6. Optimise Eye Movements in All Directions (forward, backward, diagonal) 7. Optimise Concentration and Comprehension (understand better what you read) 8. Optimise Retention and Recall (remember more of what you read) 9. Apply Preparation Techniques (e.g. skimming, scanning, preview) 10. Understand Writing Styles (e.g. fiction) 11. Understand Writing Structures (e.g. paragraphs) 12. Improve Vocabulary (roots, suffixes, prefixes)
