So, I bought this speed reading training program, 7 Speed Reading, and I just did my first lesson today. Just doing this lesson today gave me a lot of hope. According to this software, I could triple my reading speed in a matter of a couple weeks. My initial reading speed is 200 words per minute, so, hopefully, with daily practice, two weeks from now I oughta be reading at 600 words a minute. That would really trip me out…
