The Secret(s) to Speed
Reading |
 |
I was recently interviewed by a
women's magazine for an article
about speed reading. Her first
question was typical of people
who have little experience with
it: "What's THE secret of speed
reading?" I've heard this
question many times before, and
my reaction is always the same:
my face first scrunches up and
then my eyebrows raise up giving
the impression that they must be
kidding. But fortunately, she
didn't see my face! I proceeded
to share the MANY secrets of
speed reading (that she now has
to choose from). I thought you
might be interested in them as
well:
- See more words at a
glance.
- Read mindfully, not
unconsciously, using varied
strategies.
- Use your hands or a
white card to push you down
a page.
- Know WHY you are reading
and WHAT you are reading
for.
- Read the first sentences
of paragraphs in non-fiction
material to locate the
writer's outline.
- Learn to trust your
brain so you don't re-read
as much.
- Have the foresight to
secure a quiet,
distraction-free place and
period of time to get your
important reading done.
- Make sure you only spend
your valuable reading time
on material that is
important to YOU.
- Confidently shift your
reading speed up or down
depending on a myriad of
conditions, eg. when
familiar material, speed up;
when unfamiliar, slow down.
- Understand that you
can read faster than you
do now but it is unrealistic
to expect to read the book
War and Peace in 5 minutes.
There are more ideas (like
not moving your lips or getting
your eyes checked on a regular
basis) but the bullets above are
the most important.
So if you ever see me at a
party and ask me about "THE
secret to speed reading", be
prepared for more than one!

Read F-A-S-T-E-R with Rev It
Up Reading
30 Day Trial Offer Extended |
 |
|
Last month, I offered to you, my
valued subscribers, a 30 Day
Trial Offer to try out my new
speed reading computer CD-Rom. I
had such a positive response
that I decided to continue this
offer just for you through the
end of this year. Starting in
January, I will offer it to the
general public through my
website. If you want to learn how to
see more words at a glance (the
first bullet point above), then
this CD-Rom will definitely
help. You will learn 4 simple
strategies for spreading your
peripheral vision and you will
see immediate results through
short timings and tracking your
own progress.
We have received some
wonderful testimonials from
users so we feel confident it
does what we say it will do.
Here's one sample from a local
librarian:
"I sat down at the
computer yesterday and gave Rev
It Up Reading a try. I had no
idea what to expect and was
really surprised at how easy it
was to increase my reading
speed! I really raced through
the CD and even as quickly as I
went, my reading speed went up
from 243 wpm to 414! I am sure
if I spent just a little more
time with it, I would really
benefit from your innovative
techniques. This is the perfect
CD for busy people who want to
read more rapidly and more
effectively. The production
quality is also first-rate -
crisp, clean graphics and
easy-to-follow directions make
this a breeze to use."
To take advantage of the 30 Day
Trial Offer, first
order the computer CD here
for only $29.95 (plus shipping.)
Play with it for a month and if
you decide to return it within
30 days, whatever the reason, we
will refund your credit card
$29.95 (less shipping). We will
include return instructions with
your package. If you love it and
want more, know that we offer
quantity discounts and site
licensing.
Try it, you just might like
it!
