Helen, I'm fascinated that you are dyslexic yet you can read so fast!! I wish I could read faster... I wonder if one can take up speed reading at an advanced age? Can one retain as much speed reading as "normal" reading?
I think you can. The methods are pretty simple and simple to google. Just takes practice.
We had a room full of those machines in High School, probably, but maybe Middle School. You could only use them if you were in remedial reading, which I wasn't, so I couldn't. And I was really jealous, because I was a pretty slow reader, too, and I wanted to make hay.

many years ago, the NYtimes magazine section had a photo array of funny photo's --the one i 'missed' was the graffiti of hell's satins... it wasn't till the next week when letters to the magazine started making jokes about how dangerous the gang must be, asking if the wore silk satin, or cotton satin.. did i look at the word, and realize, satin=shiny cloth, satan=name for devil.. (and now i remember satan wouldn't be caught dead IN satin (and learned how to keep track of these difficult for me words..) usually, context does it.. but

To me, reading fiction too quickly is like chugging fine wine.

Ha!
But I also remember finding suggestions posted by some professor somewhere that were free, simple, and sensible.

dale, do you work for reading transformations?
yeah, mav's links didn't work.. who wants them to?
you posted asking about spead reading, there are a dozen plus replies, and your only comment is mav has altered the ads to they aren't workable?
congratulation, you've just become the first person on my ignore list..
i chose to ignore your thread on euphemisms, (a wise choice i quickly realized when i read your reply in that thread) and your behavior now, make it clear you don't want to join in open discussions, you have an agenda. (like your psuedo scientific study on green cars) well i am going to be part of your program.

reading fiction too quickly is like chugging fine wine.
There is, in ancient Christian tradition, a practice called "lectio divina" in which one reads a passage of scripture or some devotional literature very slowly and then rereads it, even more slowly, meditating on each word of each sentence.
