How does the speed reading software work?
The RocketReader speed reading software trains you how to read faster and improve reading comprehension by eliminating bad reading habits. These reading habits are:
- Excessive eye-slaving: reading syllable by syllable or word by word.
- Subvocalization: saying words under your breath or in your head as you read;
- Skip-back: re-reading earlier passages of text.
If you read syllable by syllable or word by word, you are an ineffective reader. Speed readers are effective readers because they read blocks of text with a single eye fixation. Contrast the slow reader and speed reader below:
Slow reader
(Those) (who) (can) (read) (quick)(ly) (and) (ac)(cu)(rat)(ely) (learn) (more) (and) (quick)(ly) (ex)(cel) (in) (their) (stud)(ies) (and) (ca)(reer).
25 eye fixations
Speed reader
(Those who can) (read quickly and accurately) (learn more and quickly excel) (in their studies and career).
4 eye fixations
The slow reader has to do four times more work than the speed reader. This is why slow readers get tired, can't read for long, forget what they have read and have to re-read sentences. As a result, they have poor reading confidence and avoid reading.
Speed readers read fast, understand what they read, can read for extended periods and are confident about their reading skills.
RocketReader uses a series of effective speed reading training exercises to eliminate bad reading habits and develop good reading habits:
- Flash training to get rid of excessive eye slaving and subvocalization and increase block reading;
- Grouping training to remove excessive eye slaving and improve block reading;
- Speed training to eliminate skip-back and improve reading speed;
- Reading training to practice your reading skills on reading texts of your choice and improve reading comprehension;
- Timings training to test your reading speed and comprehension on unseen reading texts.
By eliminating bad reading habits, you can read faster and improve reading comprehension, reading stamina and reading confidence.
