Hey Dr Marc,
I’ve been following your instructions from the speed reading videos. Nevertheless, I just can’t get the breakthrough (500-100wpm). Even though I can get the breakthrough but I can’t comprehend the text. Would you please advise me on how to increase the speed along with comprehension of the text? Thanks.
The best way to get the breakthrough is to use Rapid Reader…

This will force you to READ and NOT say the words (it’s called subvocalisation) and it’s the reason you’re not having your breakthrough.
Also, chances are you’re trying too hard – just relax and keep reading as fast as you can and soon, you’ll have the breakthrough.
BTW, If you can’t comprehend what you’re reading, that means you’re reading too fast – your brain needs to catch up to your eyes… Be patient, soon your brain will catch up.
Your brain is like any muscle – you’ve been using it at 150-300 wpm. You can’t expect it to ZOOM up to 1,000 wpm instantly.
I hope this helps – stick with it and keep me posted on your progress!
