Master speed reading to double or more your reading rate while preserving comprehension and memory, taught by Nina Sunday through an online program built on decades of neuroscience-informed research.
Speed Reading Academy's course snapshot teaches practical techniques to boost reading rate, including the Pacer method and eye exercises, measured with worksheets, a progress graph, and macro reading.
Measure your beginning reading speed with a three-minute read, count words per line and lines per page to estimate words per page, then compute words per minute.
Improve your reading rate without losing comprehension by addressing poor reading habits, reducing sub-vocalization, and training your eyes to see multiple words per fixation.
Guide your eyes with a moving finger to pace eye movement and reduce regression. Practice this first-step technique to increase your reading rate and words per minute.
Practice a three-minute fast input eye exercise that uses a hand-paced sweep to boost reading rate without reading the text, then reassess speed and comprehension.
Speed reading academy introduces a twice-as-fast warm-up: a three-minute fast input eye exercise to boost words per page, expand peripheral vision, and support comprehension for later checks.
Use the twice-as-fast formula to mark four minutes of reading at your last rate and scan it in two minutes, then calculate pages by words per page.
Increase reading speed with twice as fast as comfortable pacing using scanning and a hand pacer. Push to two minutes per section to check comprehension and notice gains.
Master diagonal sightlines and macroreading to double your reading speed, using the s middle third, infinity, and reverse diagonal patterns, plus fast 2000 wpm scans for target information.
Apply vertical sightlines and macroreading to scan columnar text, test zigzag and infinity sidelines, practice chunking and whole-page sightlines, then perform a reality check to measure comprehension and speed gains.
Compare your current words-per-minute pace to the start using markers and a pacer, reading two halves of one minute—first with the new pace, then the old pace—to show progress.
Snowed under with reading?
Lose concentration and have to reread?
Forget most of what you read?
Worried about failing exams?
Under pressure to get through tons of reading that just keeps pouring in?
Are you a student with too much to read in the time available?
Or a 'knowledge worker' having to read reports or keep up to date with changing information in your industry? (Legislation changes, product knowledge).
WHAT TO EXPECT
The program is pre-recorded as separate modules with Australian Speed Reading Trailblazer, Nina Sunday (BA, Dip Ed). It's around 2.5 hours duration and can be completed over several sessions.
Doing the step-by-step exercises with Nina Sunday, you can expect an instant result. Most people increase their rate by 2 or 3 times - or more – with the same or better comprehension.
You self-test your reading rate and comprehension at the beginning, middle and end – in fact, 3 or 4 times during the program.
And you bring your own reading material to the program.
You start the course an average reader and, as long as you perform all the exercises and follow instructions, you can expect to become a faster reader. It’s immediate; it works like a charm.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Here's what Will told us after doing the Speed Reading self-paced program from the convenience of his own desk.
''I found the Speed Reading lessons, module by module, to be simple yet effective for dramatically increasing reading speed. Initially it's a matter of breaking old (bad) reading habits, so it feels a bit ‘foreign’ at first. But this phase does not take long to push through.
''After completing the online program I found myself reading at about 1,000 words per minute when the subject matter was relatively familiar. For more difficult subject matter, my speed was around 500 - 600 words per minute - still a dramatic improvement on my original speed of 250 - 300 words per minute.
''The skills are easily retained, providing you keep using the techniques. It is easy to get lazy and revert back to old ways, but when I stick with the techniques my speed and comprehension remains high.' Will Swayne, Business owner, Marketing-Results.''
