Hi,
Thanks for sharing these resources. I do not know how to speed read, and I was wondering what all the fuss is about.
Thanks for the great post. It’s a great article. I love speed reading now that I have been able to use a software program that works to help me.
I have used the eyeQ program for a while now and I find that it has been the best fit for me on many different levels. I always recommend it to my family and friends. It helped me succeed in college and helps me everyday in my job to be the most productive employee I can be.
I highly recommend the eyeQ program!
I am ready to try the eyeQ speed reading software to see if I can increase my reading and comprehension skills. I need the help if I am going to suceed.
For daily practice on my speed reading, I like the Speed Reading Trainer (Google Chrome app). Recommended http://goo.gl/WMpS7
