Rachael’s Review
I received a complimentary copy of this book from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Too many books and not enough time? Kam Knight explains the tools and tricks you need to begin speed reading. With short chapters and practice exercises, Knight teaches you how to retrain your brain to read faster without sacrificing your reading comprehension. Although I’m a naturally fast reader, I would love to be able to read even faster. Knight’s book was a perfect explanation of how to read faster – usually by focusing on space or chunks of text and removing sub-vocalization. His methods definitely work and I could see an immediate improvement. Unfortunately, the book won’t automatically make you a speed reader – you have to actually practice the skills over time.
Publisher’s Description
#1 Speed Reading Book on Amazon for 2 Straight Years
This has become the go to book for students, teachers, educators, professionals, and home-school parents & children to rapidly improve their reading.
It offers simple tips to not only accelerate reading, but comprehension and memory.
Unlike other books that merely teach you to skim & scan, this book taps into your brain and eyes’ amazing power to naturally read more words in a shorter time.
In fact, with a few simple changes, you can double or even triple reading speed. No skimming, no scanning, but reading every word with double or triple the speed.
Then with the additional tips and exercises, you will raise that level until you are comfortably reading a 200+ page book in 1 hour.
