Speed reading!!!

[FaithfulServant]

I'm reading a book called "Breakthrough Rapid Reading" after it being recommended to me by someone who reads over 2000 words per minute.

I only read 220 words per minute, which is average. (Only average, not college level average, and I am in college).

Ive heard how it can decrease a students study time in half and I'm entering nursing school so this would be very useful to me!

Has anyone else ever learned to speed read, taken a course on it or read a book on it? Or know anyone who can?

Hmm I need that book! It takes me five minutes to read two pages.

I might look into that book. I tend to be a slow reader, and there's so many books that I'd like to read, but probably won't get around to reading because I read too slow.

I've been doing it for 4 days now and my reading speed has imporved by 100 words per minute, I'm now reading at 320 words per minute!

Ill let y'all know how it goes once Im done with the book on July 3rd.

Well why don't you share the methods with us ?

The only thing i do to improve my reading speed is read, read, and read... And i think i've improved this way, but i never measured my speed...

I just ordered the book yesterday. It should come in about a week.
