Imagine tripling your reading speed while actually improving comprehension. Sound impossible? For most of us trapped at the average reading rate of 240 words per minute, it might seem so. Yet scattered throughout history are natural speed readers who devour books at astonishing rates. Theodore Roosevelt read a book before breakfast daily. JFK processed 1,200 words per minute. These aren't superhuman abilities-they're skills that can be developed through specific techniques. Breakthrough Rapid Reading reveals methods refined by Evelyn Wood and taught to thousands, including White House staffers under multiple presidents. The difference between average and exceptional readers isn't intelligence but processing method. While beginners see individual letters (L-O-O-K) and average readers see whole words, speed readers process multiple words simultaneously. The secret lies in training your eyes to make fewer stops per line, seeing word groups rather than individual words-a skill anyone can develop with practice.
