Hey @Zed_Girl ,

I was diligent to practice Peter Kump’s book, and was able to read at 4,000 words a minute on certain books. That is, books where i am familiar with the subject.

The following book you can get it in pdf…just google.

> **[The Complete Idiot's Guide to Speed Reading: Beale, Abby Marks, Mullan, Pam:...](https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Speed-Reading/dp/1592577784?tag=artofmemory-20)**

For this book, just go over to the hand motions which you have not used before. This should give you more techniques.

Also,  
Get this book:

> **[Amazon.com: Spd Rdng – The Speed Reading Bible: The Speed Reading Book with 37...](https://www.amazon.com/Spd-Rdng-Techniques-Strategies-Accelerated-ebook/dp/B0047O2DRI?tag=artofmemory-20)**
>
> Buy Spd Rdng – The Speed Reading Bible: The Speed Reading Book with 37 Techniques, Tips & Strategies For Ultra Fast Reading (Speed Reading, Study Skills, Memory ... Skills, Memory and Accelerated Learning 1): Read Kindle Store Reviews - Amazon.com

Get it in Kindle. It is a summary of all the techniques. I love this book.  
This is a book u want to refer to, again and again.  
But istis only useful if you have been diligent with Peter Kump’s book.

If you are diligent with all the abovementioned for over a period of 2 years and beyond, you should be reading at over 2,000 words a minute already.

I bought the Photoreading program. Honestly, i think it’s useful, because they introduce a system of speedreading and retention.

However, if you don’t want to spend the money, then all the info you have is good enough.

Also, go to this website. It is a free speedreading online app.  
You can go to the settings to increase the reading speed. This will be able to somehow supplement the speed reading exercises which you have been doing.

Eg: if you want to read at 2500 words a minute, You can practice ‘reading’ at 10,000 words a minute. Go to settings to adjust the reading speed to 10,000 words a minute. You can adjust the chunk size to flash 100 words or even more at one go. You can adjust the font size too.

This website is super! And it’s free! I love freebies!
