Read faster
You read at the speed you talk. Read 5× faster.
You read slowly because you say every word in your head, and speech runs at 150 words a minute. Redline shows one word at a time with a red focal letter so your eyes stop travelling, then raises the pace in steps to 750. A quiz after every read proves you kept it.
Why it happens
The voice in your head
It reads at the pace of speech. That is your ceiling until you train past it.
Eyes that travel
On a line of print your eyes jump, stop and jump back. Every jump is time.
Nobody trained you
School taught you to read and stopped. The pace you left with is the pace you kept.
The fix
Take the speed test and get your number.
Read in Redline at 50 words a minute above it.
Pass the quiz, then go up 25. Repeat to 750.
