Speed Reading White Dove Books
Introduction
Alvin Tofler, author of Third Wave, contends that we are now in the information age. It is said that power belongs to those who have access to knowledge and information - this we would like to dispute.
These days, tons and tons of material is readily available to anyone at the click of the mouse – that’s true. But if suchextensive data is readily available to all people, how is it that not all people have become powerful? It is our contention that those who are able to wade through tons of information, comprehend, and make use of that knowledge for meaningful purposes IN A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME are the ones who hold the key to power. Speed is the key.
The need to substantially accelerate our reading and learningabilities resulted to this book. This book offers techniques that you can make use to hasten the acquisition of skill in reading and comprehension. It presents scientific explanations for the causes of slow reading. It explains how the practice of hearing your “inner voice” actually saying the words you are reading can drastically slow you down.
Speed reading basically covers two areas: reading andcomprehension. These go hand in hand. It is useless to study speed reading if you have trouble in absorbing information. You should already be an able reader before you try to speed read. Speed reading will not help you if you have problems in understanding the meaning of the words. To be able to enjoy the full benefits of speed reading, you must already have the necessary faculty to understandcollege-level materials.

Speed reading will “exercise” your eyes, and would not unduly strain them and hamper your improvement. Consult the eyedoctor for possible advice on how to take care of your eyes. They will provide advice on the best position while reading, proper position of the lamp or light source, what to do when you experience eye strain, etc.
Apart from these considerations, the speed of learning speed reading (excuse the pun!) is heavily dependent on four other factors. Ask yourself these important questions: •
