Improve Your Speed Reading

Written by Dr. Jay Polmar on June 11, 2010 – 2:46 am

Words are everywhere. No matter where you go “work, school, home, video games, even the Internet” you cannot get away from the written word. Being able to read faster and comprehend more of what you read will help you not only when you have to read for business or classes, but it will help you in every aspect of your life.

The ability to speed read “defined as reading more than 500 words in a minute with a minimum of 50% comprehension rate” will help you immensely in every stage of life. Read over your reports in less time, giving yourself more time to discuss things with your co-workers. Read books for pleasure and self-improvement more quickly to increase your knowledge on other topics, to allow you to get ahead in business, school, and life. Keep the peace at home by reading that book your husband or wife has been nagging you about in only an hour or two before moving onto more pleasurable subjects.

With the Complete Speed Reading course, improve your entire co-workers’ reading speed, memory, reading comprehension and recall, concentration, and note taking skills.

Who First Created Speed Reading?

Written by Dr. Jay Polmar on February 9, 2010 – 2:09 am

The worlds most famous speed reading course is Reading Dynamics developed by Evelyn Wood. It’s famous for teaching people to read faster, or speed reading as she called it. Her live course was the first known course that taught students to read faster and it started with about 25 hours of training to double your reading speed.

Over time the method was made available all over the world. These well practiced techniques teach students to read more rapidly, and also comprehend more of what they are reading. These techniques have proven to be repeatedly effective with all ages in many countries around the world.

There are many stories about how Evelyn Wood first learned speed reading. My personal favorite was that she, as a child, was fishing at a nearby lake in Utah where she was living. To Evelyn, fishing was a relaxing necessity, but her mind was always active.

When fishing, she brought a book to read until she saw that the float on the fishing line was bobbing. Then she’d reel in the fish. It was said that she read with the sun at her back for natural light, and used her index finger on her dominant hand to track under the words she was reading.

Speed Reading – Another Way To Read

Written by Jay Polmar on January 17, 2010 – 3:01 am

Many people do not believe they have the ability to read faster because if they had, they already would be reading faster. And, they’ve gotten so many years of demonstration (like taking their current age and subtracting 4 to 6 years) and that read in the same way — yes for years!

Not only is it a well established behavior pattern, but you also firmly believe that that’s normal for you. And they also believe that if they try to read faster, they’ll lose comprehension.

Yes, too many people consider that by reading faster theyll lose their level of comprehension. And that;s why some people think that “Speed Reading” is not a good phrase, because they assume that people are just speeding and not reading.

To help people become effective readers we do several things:

* Show them how to unlearn old slow habits that hold them back

* Teach you some great new methods that will increase reading speed, data processing and quality of comprehension

* Shift from the slow reader to a reader who harvests knowledge

Speed Reading in Only One Hour – Understanding the Mechanics

Written by Dr. Jay Polmar on January 6, 2010 – 2:26 am

The mind is an extraordinarily power of which we only use a very small portion. In our book, “Speed Reading in only One Hour” we will show you how to tap some of that unused power and use it for your personal success in high school, college, and life.

Your brain and mind are capable of understanding from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute; one unit being equal to one word. This information is based upon somewhat old statistics (1980’s). Based on new speed reading technology, as well as strides in brain and mind development, you can probably achieve phenomenal reading speeds yourself and easily.

The average HS grad, when tested, reads about 250 words per minute. The college student reads at about 300 words per minute. But, no matter what your baseline reading speed, don’t worry, it is only the beginning. Can you imagine what an advantage you would have to be able to read over 100% faster than you did before? The possibilities are limitless.

We receive information through our five physical senses, (touching, tasting, hearing, smelling, and seeing) and through those senses we make decisions. We make choices and judgments from various factors that the physical senses bring into play. The five physical senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch) are preprogrammed for automatic response.
