They all started out hating to read. Their average reading speed was 100 WPMs. They are slowly increasing their reading speed using this program as well as other techniques that native English speakers were taught about years ago, but probably forgot. Without me teaching you how to read properly, suffice to say that the program is extremely beneficial as a teaching tool for non-native English speakers. I can see where it would be extremely beneficial with native English speakers and readers. If someone would like information about implementing this program into a curriculum, feel free to e-mail me. codgerdoc at gmail dot com.

Also, all those pingbacks or whatever you call them are annoying as hell. Does anyone have a comment regarding how effective or ineffective this software is in ACTUALLY helping them read faster?

Excellent. This term I was assigned to teach 4 classes in Short Novel Reading. All of my students are native Chinese students speaking and reading English as a second language. (Teach at a University in China) Needless to say - they are all slow readers - and their comprehension is not the greatest. Decided that I needed to teach them speed reading in order for the class to have any meaning to them and still not take too much of their time. This program does the trick. Made teaching speed reading so much easier. Made it easier for them to learn how to do it. Thanks again. Doc Thanks for this program. Excellent.

I've always loved to read, but around high school I started noticing that all my peers read a lot faster than me, and I became disenchanted with it. The agonizingly slow pace that I read at just makes me feel stupid whenever I want to read, and I waste way too much time reading through blogs and websites and such on a regular basis, so I've been keeping an eye out for a free program that might help me up the speed. Just a note: If you double click a word you can begin reading at that word, according to the help text file that loads the first time you open the program. Dunno if this is the feature you were hoping for for "goto this line." Really cool program, I’m looking forward to trying it out.

It's interesting because I've recently seen an infomercial for a product that does exactly the same thing selling for like $30 or something.
