A few months back I started looking into speed reading. Many of
you have probably heard of speed reading or possibly seen
someone on TV breaking a record FOR reading a certain amount of
material in the shortest possible time.
Well perhaps most of us aren’t looking to smash any records, but
would certainly like to increase our speeding rate.
In the past I had a study that suggested the average
number of words per minute read is somewhere in the region of
230. Well I timed myself and I came in at around 213 words per
minute.
So when I stumbled across an audio program that teaches you
speed reading in less than twenty minutes I took a look.
I was very skeptical at first that I could increase my current
words per minute in only 16 minutes (it’s true), and when I read
the product page and checked out some reviews on the web I
decided to buy it. Sure there was a fantastic guarantee anyway
in case you don’t benefit from it, so no loss if it didn’t work
for me.

That evening I had my speed reading rate to 332, then 480 and on
last check I am at 680 words per minute! I am chuffed and have
recommended this audio program to family and friends, and now I
am posting it here to tell you all about it too.

Information about the course:

1. The course is done on audio format which means I was able to
learn the techniques in the car - cool. I love using my time in
the car to learn things, and this was another great thing for me
to spend my time doing - like a Mobile University.

2. The course didn’t take me weeks to master. It took
minutes. Literally. I keep listening to it regularly though, and
it keeps me motivated and wanting to keep practicing.

3. It isn’t cheap. I could pick up a Speed Reading book on
Amazon that would probably give me similar techniques, however
this program was in audio format and I had a guarantee that if I
wasn’t happy I can get my money back. Besides, 16 minutes is a
great time to learn something like this in!

Downsides:
As I said earlier, it isn’t cheap, priced at $27 but what I got
from it was well worth it. You see before I paid for it I felt
that it was a fairly bold statement to make about reading faster
in only 16 minutes, but hey I am up to 680 words per minute!
Delighted.
Some of you might not like to listen to audio programs. I can
assure you it is great to listen to and once you have mastered
the techniques you will find you are reading more and more.

Check it out, and let me know how you get on with it!
