Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour by Kam Knight

5.0

"Speed Reading - Learn to read a 200+ page book in 1 hour" is a great book if you want to improve your reading skills.

All my life I have struggled with reading. I’m sure, not being able to read well was a detriment to my grades in school and for most of my life has prevented me from enjoying reading like I do now. I am 72 years old and until I was nearly 50 I could only read word for word and my comprehension was terrible. But twenty five years ago I picked up a workbook that taught me how to read faster. The technique was similar to the technique author, Kam Knight, uses in this book but Knight goes much further. Since I originally started reading faster with the help from that workbook I read, I continually regress to reading word for word. I will find I “read” pages without having any comprehension. Kam Knight realizes the habits the mind falls back upon and addresses every one of them including regression, fixation, daydreaming and more.

Reading this book has refreshed my speed reading and completely addressed my issues that might prevent me from reading to my potential. I have done a fair amount of research on speed reading before stumbling upon this book. I realize there are a number of approaches to reading faster and I’m sure some ways work for some people and some work for others. This book worked for me!

5 Stars for this book.
