From the Publisher
Read at the Speed of Sight
Your eyes already have the ability to read fast. All it requires is making slight shifts in how you look at and think about the words. Many readers report doubling to tripling their reading speed within minutes of learning these shifts.
Understand More of What You Read
Reading and comprehension go hand-in-hand. The purpose of reading faster is to learn more, so in addition to improving reading speed, you will learn to improve reading comprehension. You will gain valuable insight into how authors write to better understand their message.
Remember like a Computer
As humans, we forget as much as 80% of what we learn within a few hours, which applies no matter how fast or slow one reads. What’s the point of reading, if you will forget the majority of it? Therefore, you will also gain insight into remembering the material for months and years to come.

The book teaches how to read the book, donât think itâs about only speed.
The primary advantage of this book is its conciseness, though I believe it could be even more compact. Another significant virtue is its accessibilityâthe text is written in very clear language, with short, well-structured paragraphs that facilitate easy comprehension. Kam Knight has skillfully condensed information from multiple sources into a single, comprehensive volume.Despite the title “Speed Reading,” the book’s focus extends beyond mere reading speed. It provides comprehensive guidance on effective reading techniques and memory retention strategies. While these methods ultimately improve reading speed, the core objective is teaching how to read more effectivelyâprecisely what I was seeking.The book will undoubtedly benefit young readers. I wish I had encountered this resource when I first began reading seriously. The advice is valuable, but it’s crucial to understand that these techniques will only be effective through consistent practice.Recommended Approach:Revisiting the book every 6-12 monthsAssessing personal progressIdentifying areas for improvementAdditional Insights Not Covered in the Book:Reading Session Length: Aim for approximately 50 pages per session. It takes time to:Enter a deep reading flowOvercome initial mental wanderingDevelop comprehensive understandingMental Preparation: Ensure adequate rest and sleep. As the author notes, we typically remember only about 20% of what we read. Without proper rest, retention can decrease even further.One improvement would be a single-page reference card summarizing key reading techniquesâa quick-reference guide to review before each reading session.This book offers practical, actionable strategies for improving reading skills and comprehension, making it a valuable resource for readers seeking to enhance their learning capabilities.

highly recommend this book
Iâm genuinely impressed with this book. I havenât even finished it yet, but Iâm already noticing a real improvement in my reading speed. The exercises are straightforward, practical, and easy to follow, and the writing itself is engaging enough to keep you motivated. What I especially appreciate is that it doesnât just focus on reading fasterâit also emphasizes comprehension, which makes the techniques feel more valuable and sustainable.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to not only increase their reading speed but also strengthen their overall understanding and retention.

A good book with great techniques
I enjoyed reading this book, the audiobook is fun too but the audible version was always behind the kindle version, but the techniques teached in the different chapters are awesome.

Turns Out I Had No Clue on How to Read Properly…Thank You!
I made a decision to start tapping heavily into books for knowledge. This was the first book I decided on reading before I began. If you’re interested in increasing the speed at which you read significantly WITHOUT sacrificing comprehension, read on…Before reading this book, I was reading around 120 words per minute (wpm). For context, that’s about as slow as a 3rd grader…Make no mistake, I’m not dumb but it was my bad habits, and technique to thank for my incredibly slow reading. After applying the techniques and tips in the first two sections, that jumped to a consistent 330+ wpm (above national average)! Seriously… And that wasn’t even near the end of what he had left to share with aspiring speed readers…He went on to drop a load of more RELEVANT knowledge and practical methods to shift the bad habits that normal readers have and enhance their speed with the techniques he clearly explains in the book. From the author’s perspective, this is what speed reading is really about. None of what he goes over is complicated in the slightest. His descriptive writing really makes it easy for you to grasp his lessons and what he physically wants you to do in the exercises.After going through the entire book I AGREE, 100%…Speed reading as a concept is NOT DIFFICULTBut let me say this…Even though you’ll be able to instantly increase your speed and comprehension while reading, to get closer to your full potential as a reader, you’ll need to practice the exercises he gives at the end of all the chapters consistently. They aren’t very hard or difficult, they’re doable but they take time and effort.Nevertheless, even for someone who is looking for virtually instant results, this book is still worthwhile for you to read. I plan on changing my schedule up a little to practice what Knight suggests in the book, I don’t have any doubt it’ll help me go even further. That’s the thing, after reading the book and improving your speed and comprehension YOU’LL KNOW YOU CAN DO FAR BETTER. It’s not surprising to me that I actually want to do these exercises and ingrain his teachings into my brain. It’s because I can FEEL that I can push my reading abilities, even more, yielding greater results.To conclude, this book is extremely helpful to anyone trying to improve reading speed and comprehension — might I add, for any kind of reading material (Fiction, technical, History, Science, Non-Fiction, etc). I’m glad I bought it for sure, now I can go on to start reading properly, obtaining more knowledge quickly and efficiently so that I waste no time on applying the things I learn to my life. If you’re serious about this, get this book. it’s perfect for beginners like me who have no clue on what it takes to read faster and retain what you read. Enjoy!P.S. – DO THE EXERCISESSSS

I have tried other books and techniques but none worked for me until the Space Reading chapter, then it was like a light switch and my speed went up immediately. Also has a lot of other great tips like the review to retain chapter. This was a great book that helped me a lot.
