How RocketReader Gets Rid of Nasty Reading Habits
Nasty reading habits are learned over your lifetime. To eliminate them you need specific training.
RocketReader trains you to get rid of
nasty reading habits, so you become a fast and accurate reader.
RocketReader has five highly effective methods to get rid of nasty reading habits.
Plus it's the only speed reading software which includes over 500 text readings -
all with comprehension tests. Excessive Eye Use - The First Nasty Reading HabitReading a sentence requires eye movements and fixations. If you read each syllable or word, then this involves many eye movements and fixations. You do a lot of work for little information. Take a look at how a slow reader would read the following sentence: (Our) (big)(gest) (ex)(pan)(sion) (op)(por)(tu)(nity) (will) (come) (from) (vol)(ume) (li)(cen)(sing) (in) (Jap)(an). This involves 21 tedious eye movements and 21 eye fixations i.e. 42 different eye operations. This is why slow readers get tired quickly and have poor comprehension. They have poor confidence when reading, avoid it and read only when they must. A fast readers would read it like this: (Our biggest expansion opportunity) (will come) (from volume licensing) (in Japan). Just four eye movements and 4 eye fixations (8 eye operations). Four times less work than a slow reader and, therefore, much better speed and comprehension.
RocketReader trains your eyes and brain to
accurately read a block of words with
a single eye glance. This technique is proven to improve reading speed
(see the Research section for more details). This results in you having
increased reading speed, comprehension, stamina and
confidence. VocalizationRocketReader significantly increases reading speed by breaking what is termed the "vocalization barrier". Vocalization occurs when the reader says each word in his or her head with or without moving the speech organs. Subvocalization dramatically reduces your reading speed because you can read much faster than you speak. This barrier limits you to around 200 words per minute.
Phonic sounds are taught as part of the process of learning to read. For fast
accurate reading, a transformation from phonic to visual reader is
needed. RocketReader uses flash and speed training to eliminate
vocalization. Skip-backSkip-back occurs when you go back and re-read words or passages you've already read. This slows you down. The speed reading exercise in RocketReader trains you to eliminate this nasty habit. By developing reading rhythm, the readings exercise also prevents skip-back.Purpose of the Training Exercises
RocketReader uses the following highly effective speed reading techniques, exercises and tests to train you to read faster and more accurately:
Focus on VocabularyFor a speed reading program, RocketReader also has a unique focus on vocabulary development. Why? Because there is a direct correlation between vocabulary and reading speed and accuracy. The larger your vocabulary the easier it is to make sense of text. Numerous studies have established that vocabulary instruction is important for reading fluency and comprehension. (See the National Reading Panel's report "Teaching Children to Read: An Evidence-Based Assessment of the Scientific Research Literature on Reading and Its Implications for Reading Instruction" for a discussion of those studies).
Unknown words interrupt the flow of your reading, cause
frustration and reduce comprehension.
They are like speed bumps slowing your down. Being introduced to new
words is the key to improving your vocabulary. So, in RocketReader
there are over 500 texts with comprehension tests and an enormous
database of 28 000 words and 120 000 phrases for the flash training
exercise. There are also 19 vocabulary sets and 7 sets on roots,
prefixes and suffixes with definitions, so you can expand your
vocabulary. What's included when you buy RocketReaderBenefits:
Why RocketReader?
You may have heard Woody Allen's joke about speed reading:
Do you only want to scan text and flick over pages? Or would you rather rapidly process, understand and retain information? If a book, tape, course or program focuses just on increasing reading speed and not on comprehension and retention, it simply does not fit the purpose. RocketReader focuses not only on speed reading but on comprehension and retention as well - all the vital skills that you need to succeed. RocketReader is about setting realistic, achievable goals to improve your reading skills and working 15 minutes a day to achieve them. With just a month of training, you can double your reading speed and improve your comprehension, reading stamina and confidence. This gives you the edge you need to succeed in your studies and career. If you follow these guidelines, you will read faster and understand more. Most people read at around 230 words a minute. If you are an average reader, there is real scope to increase your reading speed to around 460 words per minute, whilst also improving your comprehension and retention. If you already are a fast reader, you can learn to read at accelerated rates with very good comprehension.
