Myths & facts

🧪 What speed reading can and cannot do

The best results come from consistent training, not gimmicks. Here is a practical look at common myths and what actually improves reading performance.

🧪 Myth: speed means skimming

Real gains come from smoother eye movement, stronger focus, and better vocabulary. Skimming may be useful for scanning, but it does not replace comprehension training.

✅ Fact: comprehension can improve with speed

When you reduce backtracking and build rhythm, comprehension often improves. The key is controlled practice, not brute force.

🛠️ What actually works

⏱️ Consistent short sessions

Frequent practice builds habits faster than long marathons.

✅ Comprehension checks

Feedback loops prevent “fast but empty” reading.

🔤 Vocabulary precision

Knowing words removes hesitation and confusion.

🎯 Focus training

Attention is the foundation of sustainable speed.

⏳ Myth: results should be instant

Permanent gains come from regular practice and discipline. The Academy is designed to build that routine with short, repeatable sessions.

Good training feels controlled. You should feel confident in what you read, not rushed.
