PACING:

Hand movements can cause you to accelerate your reading speed. We'll shortly teach you hand movements that will accelerate your reading ability. Try each one and see which suits you best.

BASIC PACING:

The basic pacing movement uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don't move your head, keep it still.

The process is simple. You'll replace all your bad habits with one easily learned one: You'll use your pacing hand. Here's how it breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed.

We did experiments in Hawaii, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your speaking rate will no longer restrict your reading speed. You will read as fast as you can think. Yes, you can read as fast as your mind can work.

Now the method to begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:

Here's the method to begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:

Extend your index finger, close all others. As you notice I've indicated a hand holding a pencil earlier to use for pacing. That can come later. Use you index finger as a beginner Speed reading student.

You'll be reading twice as fast as you ever have. You'll retain valuable information and increase your comprehension and improve your grades.
