A common mistake people make is they don’t realize that recall is not automatic. Just because you are reading it does not mean you will retain it. Being a world renowned memory expert gives me some insight into this. The solution can be very simple. Visualize what you read. Put yourself into the material.

What is the point of Speed Reading unless you remember what you read! I have been appalled by what some people call Speed Reading. Let’s set the record straight: it is not skimming and it is not subconscious reading. It is real reading without all of the blocks and bad habits most people have. I am a memory expert first and that is why I made a point to develop a speed reading program that gives you high comprehension of what you read. Comprehension should increase as you read faster using my system!

Want to know the main reason most people are reading much slower than they should be? We get tunnel vision! When reading, our eyes get a workout, moving fast and taking in all the information. As our eyes move faster they become stressed and the muscles that control the eyes fight against each other, leading to eyestrain, fatigue, and even headaches in some cases. At this point your vision also becomes more tunneled and you need to take more time to cover the same text. You are seeing less after all, so your eyes move slower.

Here is your first exercise that will help eliminate a common bad reading habit. Many people twitch their lips while reading. Even great readers can do this subconsciously as they try to read faster and it slows them down because you can only twitch so fast.
