I am already a pretty fast reader, but I picked up this book out of a desire to improve my speed even more. I always feel as though I don’t have enough time to read everything I want to. I already identified with some of the techniques outlined in the book, that, after reading this book, I realize I already do – space reading, for example, and things that I don’t do (e.g. subvocalization), that clearly are already contributing to my speed of reading. I was most interested in improving speed and comprehension. Based on what I’ve read, I can see the usefulness of several of the techniques which, with practice, I am confident will improve the quantity and quality of my reading experience. This book is a great resource for learning and for going back and refreshing existing skills.
Very impressive read. I am sure it took a lot of effort on the author’s part because the book is well organized and broken into sections in a certain order that allows for organized learning. There are five sections and each section has three chapters that provide numerous tips and insight to help improve reading speed, comprehension and memory. The various techniques make sense and will require effort on the readers part. Readers will have to be hands on with the training techniques and definitely have to put the advice into practice. I appreciate the tips and will definitely work on adding the methods when I am reading. As the author stated “speed reading is about increasing habits that speed you up while decreasing habits that slow you down.”
The author not only gives tips but he makes sure the reader understands and absorbs what’s been written, as well as being able to recall what’s been learned. He gives a deeper dive into the art of reading. A lot of useful information on previewing before the reader starts reading, methods to use for different reading materials, space reading and using visual range in addition to various eye exercises. He offer advice on what questions readers should ask while reading so that they can get the bigger meaning or purpose of what is being read. Again a lot of information that never crossed my mind and will surely make me a better reader and also be able to comprehend what I’ve read. The author explains each technique by defining it, explaining it along with illustrations and practice drills that the reader can perform.
Reading faster and retaining more information deeply affects many aspects of life so why not give the useful concepts a try. I am sure you will find several useful tips that will help you with your quality of reading. I highly recommend this book!
If you follow the author’s suggestions you will learn to read faster and remember what you have read. There are several things for you to practice that will help you. I have not gotten down to one hour yet but I am faster at reading then what I was before reading this book. I received an advanced review copy for free and the views and opinions are my own.
“Speed Reading – Learn to read a 200+page book in 1 hour” is a great book if you want to improve your reading skills.
All my life I have struggled with reading. I’m sure, not being able to read well was a detriment to my grades in school and for most of my life has prevented me from enjoying reading like I do now. I am 72 years old and until I was nearly 50 I could only read word for word and my comprehension was terrible. But twenty five years ago I picked up a workbook that taught me how to read faster. The technique was similar to the technique author, Kam Knight, uses in this book but Knight goes much further. Since I originally started reading faster with the help from that workbook I read, I continually regress to reading word for word. I will find I “read” pages without having any comprehension. Kam Knight realizes the habits the mind falls back upon and addresses every one of them including regression, fixation, daydreaming and more.
Reading this book has refreshed my speed reading and completely addressed my issues that might prevent me from reading to my potential. I have done a fair amount of research on speed reading before stumbling upon this book. I realize there are a number of approaches to reading faster and I’m sure some ways work for some people and some work for others. This book worked for me!
5 Stars for this book.
