Speed Reading Week 3 Finished!

My third week of speed reading lessons wasn’t too bad.

• Monday:
  • Morning: Lesson 4
  • Evening: Lesson 4
• Tuesday:
  • Morning: Lesson 4
  • Evening: Lesson 4
• Wednesday:
  • Morning: Lesson 5
  • Evening: Lesson 5
• Thursday:
  • Morning: Lesson 5
  • Evening: Missed
• Friday:
  • Morning: Lesson 5
  • Evening: Missed
• Saturday:
  • Morning: Lesson 6
  • Evening: Missed

I got off to a great, consistent start! Thursday, Friday and Saturday were busy, I accept guilt that the last half of Friday and Saturday was a failure of time management. However, all in all it was a great week.

I made a major vision breakthrough. Instead of focusing my eyes on a single point in the sentence, I am now capable of focusing on the general area and taking in multiple words at a time. This is helping to break the habit of speaking the words in my mind.

My lesson bundle goes up to lesson 10. To go from Lesson 11 to 20 I’d have to purchase the second bundle. If this improvement keeps up, I might have to consider buying the second bundle.

My technique for reading is improving rapidly, but my comprehension is improving more slowly. It’s just plain fatiguing to suck that much info in. However, it is improving so that’s good. I’m still skeptical about 1000+ WPM speeds with 100% comprehension.

Anyone out there have speed reading experience? Any insights to share? Week 4, here I come…
