Break Through Rapid Reading by Peter Kump

This volume reviews the all-important techniques to rapid reading. The author begins by involving the reader in speed-reading techniques and measurements. We are urged to keep time of our reading speed and record the contents. This process happens iteratively until our reading speed and comprehension increase.

The book reviews the Evelyn Wood speed reading techniques
which consist of paragraph reading, whole page reading and
reading the first line of every paragraph to get the gist of
the presentation first. Some reading techniques involve reading
the beginning and end of the presentation as a condition precedent to understanding the material before an in depth review.

The zig-zag technique is employed; wherein, the finger is placed
on the paragraph and moved in a zig-zag fashion as we read.
Other techniques rely on identifying paragraph content first.
The author explains that our eyes see in a circular pattern.
Therefore, reading should emulate this geometric subliminal
pattern of word recognition.

Other reading techniques involve utilization of prior knowledge
to assist in reading , as well as reading paragraphs where fewer
ideas are expressed. The most difficult reading involves highly
technical material. i.e. mathematics and engineering which
require extensive problem solving and analysis

Complex material presents the most difficult reading because
significant contemplation is required, as well as multiple
readings. The acquisition is reasonably priced. It will
assist in providing students with an important vehicle to
enhance research and study habits in school.

Hard to follow

It is a fine book. After about two weeks, I improved my reading speed by 100WPM. But after that, I found those drills were really hard to follow. My reading speed can't be improved further.

A lot of speed-reading books and techniques are gimmicky (read: photoreading) or otherwise poorly thought-out. Peter Kump, a former instructor with Evelyn Woods Reading Dynamics, cogently lays out a step-by-step process with enough rigor at each level to move the reader briskly along without getting tripped up or frustrated by the various techniques. He emphasizes the right things at the right times in the right amounts. Without such precision and sound methodology, speed-reading can be a fruitless and frustrating endeavor. With the right guide, however, it can be an absolutely amazing and beneficial thing. Highly recommended.

Too Good to be True

I'm a college student and I was looking for something to help me read faster since there's SO much to read in college and it was consuming most of my time. So I bought this book based on a review and it is really amazing. It seems too good to be true but I'm only 4 chapters into the book and already improving like CRAZY. I started out at 200 wpm and I'm already up to 800 wpm. I don't know if it works that fast on everyone...but I can pretty much guarantee an improvement. It's so great I just feel like telling everyone about it. Why waste your time reading slow when there's a method out there to go faster with more comprehension? I only wish someone had told me about this book sooner.

GET the book. You won't regret it.
