The
most advanced,
user-friendly, speed
reading program
available. |

The
first step in becoming a Fluent Reader is to differentiate
between "less efficient" and "more efficient"
reading skills. When learning to read, we are taught to
read out loud, or vocalize each word, as we read. As we
get older, we are expected to read silently, without any
formal training... this is where The Reader's Edge comes
in. It helps you easily and naturally develop the skills
of efficient readers.

Frequently
Asked Questions about The Reader's Edge®
How
will increased reading speed and comprehension benefit me?
What is the difference between inefficient
and efficient readers?
How long will it take to see improvement?
What makes The Reader's Edge so unique?
Which version is right for me?
How
will increased reading speed and comprehension benefit me?
Most people read at an average rate of 250 words per minute.
Just a 100 words per minute increase, without considering
other factors, would mean that you would read the same amount
of material you currently read, in 60% of the time you now
spend - an improvement of 40%... this increase is the equivalent
of about 12 extra 200,000 word books a year!!!
What
is the difference between inefficient and efficient readers?
|
|
Less
Efficient Readers
• See and read one word at a time.
• Eyes fixate (stop) on each word.
• Re-read words.
• Vocalize (subliminally or lip) each
word read.
• Vocalize while reading, limiting
reading speed to 160-220 words/
minute, the rate at which we speak.
•
Are unable to derive the meaning
of new words from the context...
resulting in poor comprehension. |
Efficient
Readers
• See and read in groups of words.
• Eyes move smoothly.
• Do not re-read words.
• Do not vocalize... there is no limit
to reading speed.
• Your brain is capable of handling
thousands of words per minute.
• Derive meanings of words from
context, gaining better
comprehension and dispelling
the popular myth that one must
read slowly to have good comprehension.

How
long will it take to see improvement?
Spend 15 minutes every other day for at least two weeks
doing the Reader's Edge exercises and you will double your
reading speed. It's that easy. Imagine in two weeks being
able to read twice as fast as you currently do with improved
comprehension and recall.
