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.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt's very clear most people posting negative comments here have not actually read the book or tried the techniques. All they're saying is why it wouldn't or couldn't work or making assumptions that speed reading is about skimming, scanning, or skipping words. That's what most speed reading books I've read teach but not this one. This actually teaches you to read every word faster without skimming, scanning or skipping anything. But more than that it teaches you to understand better and remember longer. In fact the author even says numerous times throughout the book that speed reading isn't reading without comprehension. His techniques are super easy which don't take much time or effort, just shifting how you look at words. I found myself reading faster almost right away and yes I was understanding better too. If you follow the advice in the later chapters you can speed up even more. Again not sacrifice to understanding but enhances it too. The chapter on remembering what you read is the icing on the top. The human brain forgets a lot sometimes within hours or even minutes. That includes the stuff you read. Just because you read something doesn't mean it'll stay, so if you're going to spend time reading or learning don't you want to make sure it stays long enough for you to use don't you? This is the only book that offers an easy way to do that. I'm confident you will like all of it. It's not a hard read and he backs everything up with science and studies that show speed reading is possible and for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI 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 DIFFICULT
But 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
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis Speed Reading book is very informative & well-organized with 3 chapters in each of the 5 sections. The first section, "Pre-Reading" discusses what to do before you read and why that is important. Chapter 1, "Purpose" encourages you to state the purpose for reading something before reading it, so you understand what it is you would like to get out of the reading. Chapter 2, "Power of Preview" gives the mind a framework of what will be discussed in the book as well as helps you make more accurate predictions about what you are reading. Chapter 3, "Change Styles" explains why the way you read should suit the style & difficulty of the material.
Section 2, "Speed Reading Techniques" helps you read significantly more words in much less time. This is the real meat of the book. Chapter 4, "Space Reading" explains that with enough practice, you can advance to looking at only a few spaces per view of the text to quickly grasp the information you need. Chapter 5, "Chunking" focuses on using our line of sight to explore ways to read more words in a single glance. Chapter 6, "Subvocalization" encourages you to read with your mouth closed and not to hear the sound of the words.
Section 3, "Enhancing The Techniques" pushes speed reading even further. Chapter 7, "Fixation" is about the length of the time the eyes view text. Chapter 8, "Regression" involves going back to what you've already read. Chapter 9, "Visual Range" talks about peripheral awareness to what is happening around us.
Section 4, "Improving Comprehension" presents strategies to better understand how the material is organized (and how to use that to understand the message better). Chapter 10 "Reading For Ideas or Points" is about paying attention to the main points the author is trying to make and seeing the big picture. Chapter 11, "Topic Sentences" present the paragraph's main idea. Chapter 12, "Strong Vocabulary" is essential to maintaining reading speed.
Section 5, "Additional Tips" ties everything together. Chapter 13, "Remembering What You Read" is an important step to improve your memory, learning, and comprehension as well as to recall and review. Chapter 14, "Visualize" is about seeing a picture of what the words are saying as you read. Chapter 15, "Eye Health" are actual eye exercises to strengthen your speed-reading skills.
The chapters in this book and the practice drills help readers to integrate and become more accustomed to the instruction. According to the author, the drills are the most important part of the book. This is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their reading speed, reading comprehension, and memory of what they read.

Michael J DoyleReviewed in Canada on November 22, 20215.0 out of 5 stars The first speed reading book that helped me
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI 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.
