Let's face it, the ability to read faster, and still comprehend what you're reading, is an essential skill in today's fast moving environment.  We must read extensively if we want to be successful in our studies, or careers.
There's no doubt, learning to speed read is probably the most valuable and time saving skill you can acquire.  Frankly, under today's information pressures you must read faster and read better if you are to get ahead at all.
Of course, some people will say you can do fine without knowing how to speed read.  WRONG! Young men and women trained in Modern Speed Reading show distinct advantages over those who lack this kind of preparation. Schools and colleges have discovered that courses in reading skills give enormous aid to students struggling under the heavier loads of today's scholastic programs. Their higher grade point averages speak for themselves.
Just imagine being able to read a novel in less than half the time it takes you now, and knowing how to skim an article effectively so the information you're seeking seems to pop out of the page for you to find.  Once you can speed read, your whole attitude toward reading changes.   You will enjoy reading a great deal more and will read with greater intelligence.

Once you have become proficient at speed reading, you've prepared yourself to move with confidence into the wonderful world of books.  It will be a rich experience with your newly developed skills, for books are an opening of new horizons, a road to new adventures, and a source of unending pleasure and delight.  People who have really learned to read are never at a loss and are never lonely.  A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever.

Learning to speed read is not a difficult or painfully long process.  In fact, a recently released Learn To Speed Read  book that I have just finished had me reading faster by the fourth chapter.  Truly fast reading skills come with time and practice of course, but this book can teach you to read faster and read better right from the beginning.

If you are a High School or College Student, read extensively for your work, like reading the morning newspaper each day, or just enjoy reading a good novel occasionally, you really should consider learning to speed read.  Once learned, it is a skill that will benefit you throughout your life.
