Speed Reading Introduction: How To Increase Your Reading Speed (Part 1 of 3)
August 13, 2009
This is a written excerpt from Howard Berg’s speed reading program, “Maximum Power Reading” available on DVD.
Why is it so easy to read the road while driving at 70 miles per hour, while it is far more difficult to read text at only 200 wpm? Think about it. Reading the road in a car should be far more difficult since we read in four directions: front, back, left, and right. A book sits in front of you in one direction. Yet in just a few days, most of us only remember about 10% of what we read, but while driving we get so bored we turn on the radio and talk to friends. Understanding the difference between these two types of reading will unlock your child’s reading speed.
The difference between reading the road and reading a book is simple. While driving in a car your brain processes all the data as a movie. The result is information that is easy to process. Reading text is quite different. During reading there seems to be an imaginary person in back of your head that reads aloud: one….word….at….a….time. This imaginary voice creates the bottleneck that slows down your reading. The solution is simple, start viewing a movie of the text while reading—just like you did while reading the road during driving.
How can you begin seeing more while reading? Instinctively you already have started to master this skill, but not quite enough to increase your reading speed. When you first learn to read, you read letters. The dog is viewed by your brain as the letters:
“d o g.” As your reading skill progresses you begin to see these individual letters as a single word. “Hot” is another word comprised of only three letters. However, placing the word hot in front of the word dog changes the meaning of both words. You don’t see hot dog as a dog that is hot. Instead you recognize a popular food. Your brain has chunked these two separate words into one unit of meaning.
Look at this grouping of words: United States of America. Your brain doesn’t see four words; instead, it sees one grouping that you recognize as our country. By learning to speed read your brain quickly adjusts to chunking large groupings of individual words into easy to understand units of meaning. Most people can double their reading speed in only 4 hours with Maximum Power Speed Reading Program.

Speed Reading Introduction: Using your hands to increase reading speed (Part 2 of 3)
August 2, 2009
Part 2 of How to Increase Your Reading Speed
This is a written excerpt of Howard Berg’s DVD speed reading program, “Maximum Power Reading”.
Remember when your teacher told you not to use your hands while reading? Mine did too, but she can’t read 25,000 words per minute as I can now by using my hands. In this month’s column we will learn a simple hand motion that can increase your reading speed by 10-20% in just a few short minutes.
Your hand can help your brain overcome the need to hear a page while viewing text. Part of the reason for this working is related to how your eye and hand are wired into your brain. You eye is directly wired into your brain. In fact, the retina is actually an extrusion of brain matter that forms it. As a result you are emotionally affected by what you see. Viewing things can make you laugh or cry.
Your hand is not as hard wired into the brain, and it rarely feels emotion, unless you slam a car door on it. Then you get very emotional. Let’s learn a simple pattern for moving the eyes across the page with your hands. Here are a few techniques you can apply using the template that appears below:
* Move your hand on the lines from the left to the right margin
* Don’t stop if you miss a word
* Slow down if you are missing many words
* Your eyes can follow your hand as it goes across the line
* Move as quickly as you can read

Now continue practicing this simple pattern while reading text with familiar words and content. Don’t practice on text containing new ideas that you are trying to learn or lots of words you haven’t seen before. You will soon notice that your reading speed is quickly accelerating with no loss of reading comprehension when you implement this simple skill. Click here for part 3

Part 3 of How to Increase Your Reading Speed
This is a written excerpt from Howard Berg’s DVD speed reading program, “Maximum Power Reading”.
Now that you are controlling your eye movements easier using your hand, you are ready to begin dramatically increasing your reading speed using a simple four minute exercise:
-
Set a clock to beep after each minute. Click here for a timer you can set for 1:00 minute, it will open in a new window. You can reset the timer for each step.
-
Read for one minute at your peak comprehension rate
-
Read at double your comprehension rate for one minute.
-
You will not be able to comprehend text during this minute, but will be making your brain work harder so it can read faster during the fourth minute.
-
Read at triple your reading comprehension rate for one minute. Again you will not be able to comprehend text during this minute.
-
Read at your peak reading comprehension rate.
Amazingly, you will be reading faster—and with improved comprehension! A good speed reading program will help you further increase your reading speed, and teach you better reading comprehension, and memory/recall skills as well.
