9. How do I run the speed reading workout?
SpeeRead has two main components:
The workout is the fast reading learning phase and starts after the initial tests (T1-T3 + Q-Q3)
A learning module has several training sessions, usual 5 or 6
Between sessions you will go through a test + questionnaire to measure the achieved performance
The training consists of several texts written in accessible language and between 2,000-2,500 words.
Training takes place at least once every day and takes between 20-30 minutes
It can be also repeated several times a day, if you wish so
Speed reading is worthless if it is not accompanied by proper memorization and understanding of the information you read!

- Press the START button. A colored cursor that marks one or more words appears on the screen
- Follow the cursor movement and read the word or words marked by the colored cursor
- After scrolling the entire text the cursor stops. Press CONTINUE to continue the workout
- The cursor travel speed is progressively increased on the same text
- The number of selected words is progressively increased from one text to another
- At the end of each workout, the activity is validated by submitting the corresponding form
- You will get automaticaly to the validation page at the end of each workout session
- By validation you confirm that you have completed that workout session
- Verify that the ID field is filled in before submitting the validation form
- Focus is on cursor tracking combined with reading and understanding of marked words
- Understanding the text improves as your eyes become accustomed to the cursor movement
- Once learned, quick reading can be used for any kind of text support (screen or paper)
- Rapid reading is retained after it has been taught and no computer is needed to use it
IMPORTANT - For successful workout!
- Choose a period of time when you will not be disturbed
- Seek to be in an optimal mood, fatigue does not help
- If you feel the need, relax 2-3 minutes before you start
- If you do, use eyeglasses or contact lenses
- Do not rush, read at your own pace to not distort your performance
- Do not pass the test under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The result will not be conclusive!
