great help

helpful info! only problem I had was chapter 10 cutting out while she's talking over the material

Some great tips

Some great tips. Discipline Your Eyes was definitely my favorite, as I'm not much of a speed reader. I still think that techniques and non-sub vocalization mentioned here are hokum, as my mind doesn't work cogently without words. Other than that though, my reading speed went from around 235 words per minute to around 600, and my comprehension by focusing on grouping has gone way up as well.

Best audio book to improve reading skills

You will get most of this audiobook if you are a average reader (reading speed below 400 words per minute).

It's not only teach about fast reading but also teaches about efficient and effective reading.

Could have been 5 stars

This may have been one of the best audible books I've ever listen to, I like the feature with the tones, however towards the end of the audiobook the tone would cut out the first few words after each Break. That was very annoying

1st audio book

Very informative strategies to help the non-avid reader build confidence. I highly recommended this audio book.

audio cut out

great book but audio cuts out near the end. no big deal though. awesome listen.

Thanks a lot:) I really enjoyed:)

I will do it... and I will used the techniques.. thanks a lot.. your purpose in life was reflected in your book thanks Abby

motivating to listen...

Since I listen while I am driving I like the fact that it has a "bell" or some sort of "ping" when the narrator is about to say key words and phrases or make a point. it helps not to doze off and day dream while the audio is on. Plus it is made to be listened and is acknowledging it throughout-- thus emphasizing where you can refer back on the book (what pages) if you want to go through the exercises further. I had purchased another book of the same topic at the same time and i like this one better.

Excellent

I enjoyed this a lot. It's got great tips, revelations, and brief interviews with successful people who attribute their success in large part to reading. Abby comes across competent and caring. Well done, Abby!

Great Value

Any additional comments?

This is not just an audible book, it is a program. There are supplemental exercises you can find in her book to help boost your results but there are also free resources she points readers to for them to practice and better understand the material taught. I just got finished taking a speed reading course through my university and thought I would listen to this audiobook to reinforce what I had learned. I found this program to be just as complete as the speed reading course I took via my university and even more so. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in speed reading or learning to read more efficiently. But, the key is to make sure you participate and apply the material, even if it is just using the free resources she provides and your own reading material. You must apply her teachings to get the most out of the program.
