Reading is one of the most powerful skills you can develop. But let’s be honest—most of us read way too slowly. We struggle through books, get distracted easily, and often forget what we just read.
The good news? Reading faster isn’t about talent—it’s a trainable skill.
This Fast Reading Course will show you exactly how to double or even triple your reading speed without losing comprehension. In fact, you’ll probably remember more than ever before.
So if you’re ready to power through books, articles, and study materials faster than ever, let’s dive in. 🚀
📌 Lesson 1: Why Most People Read Too Slowly
If you read at an average speed of 200–250 words per minute (WPM), you’re spending way more time than necessary on reading. The reason? Bad habits.
The 3 Big Mistakes That Slow You Down
🚫 Subvocalization – Reading every word in your head slows you down drastically.
🚫 Fixation on One Word at a Time – Your brain can process multiple words at once—but most people don’t train it to.
🚫 Backtracking – Re-reading sentences you didn’t need to slows you down without improving comprehension.
The Fast Reading Fix
By the end of this course, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Eliminate subvocalization and read visually.
✅ Train your eyes to take in more words at once.
✅ Stop unnecessary re-reading.
Let’s start training your brain for high-speed reading.
📌 Lesson 2: Measure Your Current Reading Speed
Before you can improve, you need to know where you stand.
How to Test Your Reading Speed
1️⃣ Grab a book or article (something interesting but not too difficult).
2️⃣ Set a timer for 1 minute.
3️⃣ Read at a comfortable pace—don’t rush.
4️⃣ Count the number of words you read in 1 minute.
📌 Your reading speed (WPM) = Total words read in 1 minute
How Do You Compare?
📖 Slow reader – 150 WPM
📖 Average reader – 200-250 WPM
📖 Fast reader – 300-400 WPM
📖 Speed reader – 600+ WPM
Now that you have your baseline, let’s start breaking bad reading habits and building speed.
📌 Lesson 3: Eliminating Subvocalization (The #1 Speed Killer)
Most people «hear» words in their head as they read. This is called subvocalization, and it’s why most people can’t read faster than they talk.
But here’s the thing—your brain doesn’t need to «hear» words to understand them.
How to Reduce Subvocalization
🔥 Use a pacer (your finger or a pen) to guide your eyes—this forces your brain to move faster.
🔥 Hum or chew gum while reading—this interrupts your brain’s tendency to «say» words in your head.
🔥 Read in phrases, not individual words—force yourself to take in multiple words at once.
👉 Try This Exercise: Take a short paragraph and try to read it without «saying» anything in your head. You’ll feel a little uncomfortable at first, but with practice, your brain will start recognizing words visually instead of auditorily.
Once you stop «hearing» every word, your speed will skyrocket. 🚀
📌 Lesson 4: Expanding Your Vision for Faster Reading
Most people only focus on one word at a time. This is inefficient because your peripheral vision can process multiple words at once.
How to Read with Peripheral Vision
👀 Try “soft focus” reading – Instead of staring at one word, let your eyes relax and take in three or four words at a time.
👀 Use the “Z-Pattern” method – Instead of reading in a straight line, let your eyes naturally glide across chunks of text.
👀 Use a guide – Move your finger two words ahead of where your eyes are to encourage faster movement.
👉 Exercise: Take a newspaper or webpage and try reading two or three words at a time, instead of one. With practice, your reading speed will increase dramatically.
📌 Lesson 5: The Art of Chunking (Reading Groups of Words, Not One at a Time)
When you were a kid, you learned to read word by word. But now? That’s holding you back.
Fast readers read in “chunks” of words, not individual words.
How to Train Chunking
🧠 Start by reading two words at a time.
🧠 Increase to three or four words per glance.
🧠 With practice, your eyes will stop fixating on every single word.
👉 Exercise: Read a sentence and try to cover up every second word—forcing yourself to recognize the missing word through context.
This simple trick forces your brain to process words faster.
📌 Lesson 6: Eliminate Backtracking and Regression
Backtracking happens when your eyes keep jumping backward to reread things you already read. This habit slows you down massively.
How to Stop It
🚀 Use a bookmark or notecard to cover words you’ve already read.
🚀 Keep a steady rhythm—move forward even if you don’t understand every single word.
🚀 Force yourself to trust your brain—you understand more than you think.
👉 Exercise: Try reading one full paragraph without going back once. If you didn’t catch something, keep moving forward. Over time, your brain will adjust.
📌 Lesson 7: Boosting Retention with Active Reading
Reading faster is useless if you don’t remember anything.
How to Improve Retention
✅ Ask Questions Before You Read – What’s the purpose of this text? What do I want to learn?
✅ Summarize in Your Own Words – After reading a section, say what you remember out loud.
✅ Use the “Preview-Read-Recall” Method –
- Preview the text (skim through it first).
- Read it quickly while focusing on key points.
- Recall what you read without looking at the page.
This method locks in long-term memory, so you retain more in less time.
