Learn How to be a Speed Reader

Written by Dr. Jay Polmar on March 1, 2010 – 2:22 am

ACCELERATED PACING METHOD:

Hand movements can cause improvement of reading speed. Now I’ll introduce to you the well-known pacing movement. It uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don’t move your head, keep it still.

It’s simple. Just replace all your bad reading habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. It breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed.

The Guarantee Of Our Speed Reading Course

Written by Dr. Jay Polmar on February 27, 2010 – 2:46 am

Many businesses offer guarantees; most of them are hardly worth the paper they are printed on. Speed reading is not an exception. Many of the speed reading seminars or do-it-yourself courses out there offer guarantees, but more often than not their products fall short, or require intense, ongoing, and stressful study practices.

SpeedRead America GUARANTEES that you will be reading faster, and without stress, after just one hour or every penny of your money back.

How can we offer this guarantee? We have 30 years of speed reading results to point to! After offering this course “both in live classes and the do-it-yourself ebooks” for more than 30 years, we know it works, and works no matter your native language. Utilizing both ancient and modern methods to teach the brain a new way of thinking, and a new way to read, we have over 100,000 copies of the course in print, and even more in ebook format.

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 Gives More Time To Life

Written by Dr. Jay Polmar on February 6, 2010 – 2:30 am

The world is dominated by life-long learners: the people who take the time to learn everything they can about their chosen field and everything they can about corresponding subjects. The 400 most successful businesspeople “the Forbes 400″ attribute most of their success to reading at least one non-fiction book a month. But, when you have a family and work wants to dominate your time, carving out the time to read all those books can be difficult. New books on every subject are being published every day. How is one supposed to keep up at work or school, spend time with family, and find time to read ten to fifteen extra books a year?

You just can’t add hours to your day, but you can reduce the time it takes to read those books. Learning to speed read is the answer. Cutting your reading time in half or even more would give you the ability to simply devour the books you always wanted to read, the books you know you should read, and the ones you need to read to get ahead.

The Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading method, by Dr. Jay Polmar, is designed for people that read large volumes of printed material.

Authors around the world produce printed data and fiction, at a rate so phenomenal, that even the most avid of readers struggle to keep up. With our DYNAMIC SPEED READING method, you’ll easily be able to read twice to three times the amount you now read in the same time.

The human brain/mind is capable of comprehending and cataloging from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute (one unit being equal to one word) and this is based upon old statistics. Based on new technology in education and strides in self-development, your brain/mind is capable of much more.

The human body is a vehicle that records various senses and transfers them to our brain/mind. The brain/mind acts like a computer. Perhaps the brain/mind is the body’s operational computer to make easier for us to learn. We learn through information (data) that is transmitted in many ways. We receive data through our five physical senses, and our brain/mind makes decisions, choices and judgments from those factors.

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.
