I've always envied speed readers, and wanted to know their secret(s). I was disappointed to see this book wasn't at my library so I bought it with the intentions of finishing and donating it to my library. It's a good book that gives you several different pacing methods, a test on your reading speed/comprehension each days, and tips on how to increase both. My personal favorite is pre-viewing. Everyday use the tips and tricks in this book to increase your everyday reading, from email, newspapers, blogs, and of course books. What the author says is true; most of us haven't learned/improved our reading since we first learned. The book shows you how to break habits that slow you down, and adapt habits to speed you up. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get through that pile of reading material they've been trying to plow through. Review: Great Introduction to Speed Reading - This actually work. Initially I was very pessimistic about speed reading as most of the techniques located on the web will tell you to automatically skip lines or other obviously erroneous techniques. There is no substitute for actually reading everything, but there are ways to do it faster and more efficiently. These includes: 1) Training your eye span and movement. 2) View larger word clusters instead of single words. 3) Use a pacer that works for you (this is highly individual and this book wisely contain many choices). 4) Limit sub-vocalization (internal whispering) 5) Read with a purpose. 6) Vary you reading style in accordance to the material Besides all this the book contains a multitude of tests, pointers on screen (computer) reading and lots of other useful stuff. The book is not without its limitations, the biggest problem being that it is simply to ambitious; it's material on note taking and technical reading is so short and over simplified that it ends up doing more harm than good, for people interested in this important subject I suggests you look to the book What Smart Students Know . Another and perhaps more important area that lacks attention is the speed techniques themselves, although many are presented only few are backed with exercises which is crucial to their development and understanding. For all it's problems the book still deserves four stars, simply because it will install confidence in you that this actually works. I went from 220 WPM to 330-350 WPM within a week, with my comprehension rate rising from 50 to 70%. However if you want to go up to 400-600WPM, extend your mental abilities to concentrate (read) for longer intervals and get your comprehension rate up to 80-90%, you will have to look to more compressive (and time consuming) programs such as the one brilliantly outlined in Breakthrough Rapid Reading . For newcomers and people who just need quick improvement or motivation I will strongly recommend this great little book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #457,088 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #127 in Research Reference Books #270 in Reading Skills Reference (Books) #809 in Reading & Phonics Teaching Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (658) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.63 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0446676675 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0446676670 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | July 1, 2001 | | Publisher | Grand Central Publishing | ## Images ![10 Days to Faster Reading - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mOKOpYo5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tips for Speeding Up *by B***D on April 29, 2013* I've always loved reading, and I set a goal to read 50 books this year.

I went from 220 words per minute on Day 1 to 345 by Day 5 using a combination of the index card pacer technique and the eye span technique, with no loss in comprehension. That's incredible...it means I can now shave off an average of 3 hours off a 400 page book. I learned that my problem was I was reading each word on the page, which was slowing me down. Instead, I use m peripheral vision to capture more words at once. You don't have to do it this way, though. The author gives you multiple techniques and has you test out each one to see what you're comfortable with. The chapters are short (as is the book) so you can breeze through each quickly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9452454-10-days-to-faster-reading](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9452454-10-days-to-faster-reading) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
