that power belongs to those who have the knowledge and information. This we would like to dispute.
Being in the information age, so many data and inputs are available. Tons and tons of materials
are readily available with just one click of the mouse. Numerous data are readily available to all people.
Yet, how come not all of these people who have access to mountains of materials are considered
powerful?
It is our contention that those who are able to wade through tons of information, comprehend,
and make use of that knowledge for meaningful purposes IN A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME are the
ones who hold the key to power. Speed is the key.
This reality reinforced the need to update our skills in speed reading. The need to accelerate our
reading and learning abilities to the extreme resulted to this book. This book offers techniques that you
can make use to hasten the skill in reading and comprehension. It presents scientific explanation on the
causes of slow reading. It explains how the practice of hearing your “inner voice” actually saying the
words you are reading can drastically slow you down.
Speed reading basically covers two areas: reading and comprehension. These go hand in hand.
It is useless to study speed reading if you have trouble in absorbing information. You should already be
an able reader before you try to speed read. Speed reading will not help you if you have problems in
understanding the meaning of the words. To be able to enjoy the full benefits of speed reading, you
must have the necessary facilities in understanding college-level materials.
http://www.mbssites.com Before starting on speed reading exercises, you must have the condition of your eyes checked.
You might want to adjust your reading glasses. Speed reading will “exercise” your eyes, and would not
unduly strain them and hamper your improvement. Consult the eye doctor for possible advice on how
to take care of your eyes. They will provide advice on the best position while reading, proper position
of the lamp or light source, what to do when you experience eye strain, etc.
Apart from these, the speed of learning speed reading (excuse the pun!) is heavily dependent on
four other factors. Ask yourself these important questions:
• Why do you want to improve your reading? The purpose determines the motivating factors that
will inspire you to go through and complete the whole program.
• How much do you want to improve? Do you want to increase it from 300 words per minute to
800 wpm then to 1,000 wpm? You have to set a target to be able to determine the extent of your
growth.
• How much time do you have for the exercises? Practice make perfect. It is not enough for you
to know the skills, but you should devote time to practice and upgrade your skills faster.
• How open are you to new techniques? This report requires you to have an open mind to be able
to see and recognize the usefulness of new and scientific techniques in speed reading. This
report incorporates new practices such as reading a report from the computer.
It is said that speed readers are considered impatient readers. So, what are you waiting for? Let
