Product Description

Book Description

A previous National Director of Education for Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics presents his do-it-yourself program for increasing reading speed and boosting comprehension.

"Speed reading is one of the truly useful educational ideas of the last few years, and this book can be the least expensive and most efficient way you can learn it." --William Proxmire, United States Senator

The perfect answer to today's information explosion, Peter Kump's rapid reading method has already helped thousands of people to read up to eight times faster, with better concentration and retention.

This program brings together the best of what classroom speed reading courses have to offer, and distills fundamental principles and skills that can be learned at home with the help of the drills and exercises provided. And because it lets readers choose their own material and set their own pace, it's the ideal method for busy people juggling a full schedule.

Breakthrough Rapid Reading makes conquering information overload a reality. So whether it's cutting down on that backlog of business reports and technical matter or scaling that mountain of newspapers and leisure reading, getting up to speed is only a matter of time and practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best on speed reading, 13 Aug 2001
This is one of the best books on speed reading around.

I had been on a speed reading course recommended by my secondary school - which I now know was a complete scam, and ended up costing my parents about a thousand pounds! I would advise everyone to read this book - at the price it is a complete bargain.

The author guides you through the different ways to increase your speed as well as your comprehension. The underlying argument of the book is that we are not taught how to read past our early childhood, which means we read inefficiently - word for word. With practice this can be corrected, so your speed and comprehension dramatically improve.

I could write here that my speed when up 5 times or whatever, but that isn't the way to look at it. Rather the book has given me the tools so that if I want to I can read up to 3000 words per minute, or read harder material at 500 wpm. The whole point is that the speed you read at is dependent on the type of material being read, and the aim of reading (memorisation, or just for fun for example).

So what are you waiting for - buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars LEARN TO SPEED READ, 3 Feb 2004
If you want to learn to speed read in around 6 weeks then this is the book for you. However practise makes perfect and you must be prepared to put in the time and work. The pracise tasks are simple and fun to do as you are reading your chosen texts. The book does state that you will be a competent speed reader after the 6 weeks it will take you to read the book. You can take longer if you wish as the more time you put in to practising, the more competent you will be at speed reading. This book does exactly what it says on the tin. All you have to do is choose some books that you have always wanted to read, sit back and start the course.

The book has already made a big difference to my reading, and I've only got one sixth through it! You do need to put in the time to do the exercises, but it's well worthwhile. Read more
