Hi, that is a precious video I saw in Youtube that really teaches how to increase reading speed. It shows a very interesting reading technique, one from the speed reading family.

I hope you enjoy this, please tell me in the comments how did you like it and also, if you can, did you study from it something to improve your reading.

So, the rewriting is for people who have hearing problems or don’t have the right equipment to hear from the computer. This is part one’s rewrite, enjoy the ride:

Hello my name is Kris Manon and I’m going to be taking you through the first part of our accelerated reading series. The goal of this exercise right now is going to be to help you read faster in home and hopefully get you through your books you been looking to read for a while. All right, so here is how reading works for the average reader. First what happens is that the eye sees the word “fish”’ ok? It sees the word “fish” and then sends a signal down into the brain- that voices the word “fish”. Even if you don’t say it out loud your brain? Is still going to produce the word and then from there the signal is going to transfer to your brain and then going to come up to the picture of the fish and that’s how we read. Now the average person reads to 125 to 250 words per minute. That’s average. If you read any higher than this level you’re actually reading not with your brain but with your eyes. So your eyes are taking in words such as “the”’ or “a”’ or “it’s” or “is” and transfer them straight over the brain. So what we can do to increase our speed from 125 – 250 to 500-1000 words per minute is by using this exercise. The exercise is really simple and all you do is take a page of text and while you’re reading you take your frain out of the equation by voicing a simple sound such as AEIOU or 12341234 and you just do this… regret that you’re not going to get any comprehension in this section by doing this. By practicing it over time you’ll notice that the comprehension level will go up while you’re enjoying reading and in other texts that you’re studying as well.  O.k., that’s all for our accelerated reading today.

How did you like this part? I listened carefully to the video but apparently missed some words; I’d like to get your remarks for that if possible, thanks! Later I had a brief reflection and I realized many of the readers don’t speed read yet, so I cut it into two parts, so it won’t be too long for those of you guys, who have not dived yet into this sweet water of speed reading and more advanced techniques such as 3D reading and photographic reading.
