I'm not a
speed reader, although I am a very fast reader. I
have fond memories of sitting with my dad, playing
with a toy he had brought home. It was flat metal

the viewer before it snapped shut. His playful toy
increased my reading speed, and as it increased, the
word lists grew into phrase lists, longer and longer,
all to be recognized in a fleeting view that he could
make shorter and shorter. It certainly worked!
I've never felt the need to take a speed reading course, but if you do, here's some hints from someone who has ramped up their reading rate in a different way.
In this article, I’m going to share the lessons I learned that doubled my reading rate, allowed me to consume over 70 books in a year and made me a smarter reader. I’m also going to destroy some speed-reading myths, to show you it isn’t magic but a skill anyone can learn.
My first introduction to the concept of speed reading was from a book, Breakthrough Rapid Reading. I’ve since moved away from a few of the concepts taught in the book, but the core ideas were transformative.
