One sporting event that has recently becomes very popular, not to mention legal is the Ultimate Fighting Champion. It is a no-holds-barred clash of the titans. The blood, the sweat, the tears, the trips to the emergency room. What does this have to do with speed reading? Absolutely nothing. Those guys are lucky they have any of their own teeth left; perhaps they should take up reading.
Just as this grueling testosterone fest has its many critics and even more fans; there is a much less violent battle raging of the validity of speed reading, and whether or not there are anything to the claims that it works. Programs claiming to teach faster reading have also come under some scrutiny. The Ultimate Speed Reader is one such program that seems to be living up to its name. Designed in 1997 by Davidson and Associates, Ultimate Speed Reader grabs the user by the brain and hurls them into the Indy 500 ranks of speedy readers.
Flexing And Stretching The Old Noggin
The Ultimate Speed Reader program is specifically target for high school and college students, but adults are reaping its benefits as well. This ingenious software utilizes different tools and learning techniques to jump start the brain. Various memory exercises, word games, and graphical games that enhance and build peripheral vision ability are just a few ways Ultimate Speed Reader can super charge your reading speed.
Ultimate Speed Reader is divided into six different sections:
Reading Warm-Ups
Eye Movements
Newspaper Reading
Paced Reading
Timed Reading
Visual Exercises
The goal of each section in the program is to teach different skills and reading techniques over a course of time. You use different speeds and methods of gathering information based on the amount of content and type of book or document you are reading. Ultimate Speed Reader prepares you for just that.
This is not something you will so just once; in order to get the most out of the software, it is suggested you use Ultimate Speed Reader a few times a week to build and maintain your level of reading speed and efficiency. You should also plan to spend at least thirty minutes in each section. A good way to close out your reading tutorial is with a timed reading exercise. Then you can breathe in deeply while doing the cool down stretches. Your brain will think it is training for some weird literary marathon. Speed reading enhances mental alertness, and no one can have too much of that. So true Barry White, so true.
