Summary: Faster Is Easier & Comprehension Better
Review: This is a helpful book that allows you to assess your reading speed by doing the exercises in the book, and doing your own calculations. You can learn the simple technique of this and rate your progress. I was able to read significantly faster after following the tips and methods in in "Speed Reading Made Easy." It's primarily about skimming quickly. There are pointers on skimming for main ideas, cluster of details, and using the vertical field of vision. Another major technique you must use is not reading to your self with you "inner voice." Your inner voice slows you down. By simply scanning the words your brain recognizes what your reading, hence you'll understand, and your comprehension will actually improve.
I have to go over this book every year and a half, because for some reason, over lengthy periods of time, my reading slows down. I then have to focus on picking up my reading speed. It works, and it's easier to speed read than to read in the slow, time consuming, inner voice, traditional way.
