Rev It Up Reading

I'm a college student and I just started taking accelerated classes. I can't even explain how this has helped me. They say that you learn as fast as you read and I see that I'm picking things up faster. It worked for me I read things faster and retain more info. Good for anybody

This is a simple way to increase your reading speed. Within twenty minutes I had more than doubled my speed. The draw back to speed reading for me; I always feel hurried and I have not mastered the retention section. So I've read it all but I still don't remember it all.

I bought this program for my son but thought that I would try it ( I am already a fast reader).

I spend one hour on this program and improved my speed by 15%!!

I totally recommend this program to everyone who wants to improve their reading speed.

I sat down at the computer yesterday and gave it a try. I had no idea what to expect and was really surprised at how easy it was to increase my reading speed! I really raced through the cd and even as quickly as I went my reading speed went up from 243 wpm to 414! I am sure if I spent just a little more time with it I would really benefit from your innovative techniques. This is the perfect cd for busy people who want to read more rapidly and more effectively. The production quality is also first-rate - crisp, clean graphics and easy-to-follow directions make this a breeze to use.
I am sure our patrons will benefit from "Rev it up Reading."

As I played the CD-ROM entitled REV IT UP READING by Abby Marks-Beale, I appreciated the fact that the information was presented in an easy-to-follow format that made the learning experience a positive one. The music and graphics proved to be very effective enhancements to the overall presentation of this accelerated reading program. I found myself intrigued by the simplicity of the learning strategies and how they ultimately proved to make a significant difference in my own reading speed.

As a former publisher, present-day author and book reviewer, efficient reading is the basic foundation for success in my business. The first time I used this program I proved, though my personal reading progress chart, that I more than doubled my reading speed. It is my opinion that, as I put the suggested reading strategies for expanding my peripheral vision into practice on a regular basis, I will see even more improvement. This is a wonderful investment for individuals and businesses; it isn't expensive and it yields immediate benefits. By taking advantage of REV IT UP READING, individuals will be able, among other things, to keep up-to-date with the reading of current events, have more confidence in school, and read the fine print faster. There will ultimately be less reading stress in all areas.

One of the objectives of this reading program is to provide three different options-learning strategies-for students to choose from. After learning and practicing all three, I found the one that was most effective for me; however, since everyone is unique, preferences will differ. This program is concerned, not only with the speed of reading, but also with concentration, comprehension and retention. As students continue to work the program and practice the exercises, most will see improved results in all areas.

I found it interesting that putting in the CD and starting the reading program was compared to putting a key into the ignition of a sporty roadster and starting up the engine. There are five gears or categories that equate to a person's reading speed-words per minute. At the beginning of the CD, when I tested my reading speed, I was in the average category; I was reading in second gear. After applying the learning strategies, doing the exercises, and even taking advantage of a special bonus section, I moved up to the above average category-this was fourth gear. When a person goes into fifth gear, they are in overdrive. This is my future objective-to be in overdrive as far as the speed of my reading.

Although this is designated as a thirty-minute learning program, I deliberately took longer to complete it. When it came to practicing the exercises, I found myself repeating them over and over, competing with myself in a way that was fun as well as effective. It is my hope and recommendation that individuals will take advantage of this entertaining and effective CD-ROM that has been made available to them.
