I have Acereader, but have stopped using it since I noticed no improvements in my reading speed. But it might still be useful for this purpose, since reading a long text with Acereader is very different from reading one word, or a few words. It would be interesting to hear if anyone else here have increased their speed of reading with Acereader, or ANY mehod at all. In any case, the classical tips, using a pencil or your fingertip and so on, as taught by almost everyone did not work at all for me. Double your reading speed in an hour feels like an insult. Opinions? Mikael Try glancing at car number plates as you drive (probably safer as a passenger!) - I used to do that as a kid, now I can see a numberplate for a fraction of a second and not really take in the information until I think about it. I don't perform with billets so I don't know if this works with important information or just meaningless groups of numbers and letters.... ....I must get a life.... Lesault.
Mikael Eriksson Inner circle None of your business 1064 Posts	Posted: May 28, 2002 04:08 pm 0 Actually I understand you I started to look at car number plates as a way of practicing my imagination in memory techniques. for example: If I see plate that says dbn 126 I try and make a word out of dbn, in this case it would become dogbone. I fill out the spaces. Nowadays I get the word immediately, I don´t even have to think about it mostly, it´s just there automatically. I must get a life too....
