Critic reviews

"A little bit of genius that will help you learn speed reading with ease." (New Archaeology [USA])

"An excellent product. The methods taught work extremely well, and you should be able to see enormous improvements to your reading and comprehension." (Gerry Keegan, Psychology, UK web magazine)

I liked it

The reader was entertaining, the material worth it to me and the story kept me interested. I've only been practicing what I learned for a few weeks now and I can see that I am improving. There is no magic pill one can take to improve in anything we undertake. It requires practice. If you want to improve your reading skills, you must practice. I suggest you download the attached material and use it to guide you along. Worth the buy.

Very nice!

What did you love best about Speed Reading for Success?

At first I questioned if I wanted to use one of my credits on a book that was just over an hour, but this program is so efficient that that is all it takes.

I am dyslexic and have ADD bad. I was reading below the average rate yet my hunger for knowledge desperately wanted me to learn to speed read. I love to read dispute my disability. I do a little each week and now I am reading at a rate twice as fast as the average and retaining so much more.

What about Jane Smith’s performance did you like?

Jane is very clear. I read another book on speed reading a long time ago. It didn't work. It was really just skimming the book.

Jane and her husband are there for you. They are sweet and answered my questions by email.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I learned that I can pick up more meaning of what I am reading without even reading every word.

Any additional comments?

I also recommend the memory success book by Jane.

Very concentrated material. Is fast to read/listen

Any additional comments?

Finally a book about reading that doesn't suppose to read hundreds of pages before getting the idea. Just a half hour and you read the book, in the

Definitelly worth the price and the time it took

I love audible because I seldom have time to sit down and read a book, but when I do have time to read I want to make the most of it. I treated this book differently than most I listen to. I sat at my desk with the provided printout and "went to school". The book has lots of activities it asks you to do. By the end of this short book I did improve my speed, but more than that I learned what things I need to keep improving if I want to read significantly faster. I believe this book was a very good investment of my time.

Good listen
