This reminds me, has anyone heard the current spate of radio ads
for speed reading technology that allow one read a 500 hundred page book
in an hour? and absorb the material into long term memory like you were
watching a movie, etc. blah blah. Does anyone know what this is all
about? Or is it just a mail order con of some sort?
When I was in 8th grade about 40 years ago I had a teacher
obsessed with speed reading. He had a slide projector device that forced
you to read groups of words at a glance and then automatically began
increasing the size the groups of words and decreasing the flash time.
As I recall, I went from reading 250 words per minute to over 500
at that time, but haven't been tested since. Some students broke 1000 wpm
as I recall. Testing followed reading to ensure comprehension.
Anyone have any current knowledge on the techniques of speed
reading and what is really acheivable?
