The act of reading faster than the average speed.
|
||
|
|
One of the common methods in shutting off your inner reading voice and replacing it with visualizing words as you read along.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To understand why the surrounding skepticism, we have to look at the claims especially with anything that involves more than 1,000 words per minute (WPM) of reading speed.

|
|
Knowing [[id:25fb4ebf-2cc4-40fe-93ad-37a79aedfb41][The basics of memory]], this is neurologically unlikely as learning takes time.
|
||
|
|
Speedreading is also physically impossible as reading is a complex process.
|
||
|
|
It takes time to absorb even an inch of information compared to the very fast pace of merely reading the material at double the average speed of 300 WPM.

As I dive deeper into this topic, the more it appears that it is basically skimming with a fancier name.
