New report debunks speed reading promises as too good to be true

Post by Debbie_Hepplewhite »

See this piece in 'From experience to meaning' about speed reading. I had a go at reading quickly from flashed-up words, one at a time, in the middle of the screen. How very unsatisfying it was!!!!

New report debunks speed reading promises as too good to be true

Ah, a new study that looks critically at claims and states it’s not really what people expect. This get’s me interested. “Learning to speed read seems like an obvious strategy for making quick work of all the emails, reports, and other pieces of text we encounter every day, but this new report raises important doubts about the claims put forth by many speed reading programs and tools.
