		<description><![CDATA[ACCELERATION THROUGH PACING:]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b></b><i></i><u></u>ACCELERATION THROUGH PACING:</p>
<p>Hand movements can cause improvement of reading speed. Now I&#8217;ll introduce to you the well-known pacing movement. It uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don&#8217;t move your head, keep it still. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s simple. Just replace all your bad reading habits with  one  easily  learned  one:  You&#8217;ll  use  your  pacing  hand. It breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed. </p>
<p>The basic pacing movement utilizes the index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Never move your head when reading, keep it still. </p>
<p>To  understand  this  concept,  you  must  understand  that your nemesis &#8220;The Babbler&#8221; (your own inner voice) is reading to you in silent speech and  then  it  goes  into  your  brain.  </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll read without sub-vocalizing, hearing it your mind. </p>
<p>To  understand  this  concept,  you  must  understand  that you&#8217;ve got this nemesis, an inner voice who is reading to you in silent speech and  then  it  goes  into  your  brain.  We did experiments in Hawaii, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your rate of speech won&#8217;t limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the method to begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat: </p>
<p>Extend your index finger, close all others. </p>
<p>DYNAMIC SPEED READING program will teach you how to develop these skills to enhance your reading ability and speed through practice and exercises. Soon, you could soon be reading twice as fast as you ever have and retaining valuable information to increase your comprehension and improve your grades.</p>

<p>What started as a university lecture course has evolved into an affordable do-it-yourself course designed to make everyone &#8220;from stay-at-home moms and dads to administrative assistants to MBAs to CEOs&#8221; more valuable to their company in the form of The Complete Speed Reading Program. </p>
<p>The Complete Speed Reading Program, Family Edition, includes four <a href="http://www.thomasthetrainfansite.com"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="FREE printable Thomas The Tank Engine Coloring Pages"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://thomasthetrainfansite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">books</a> (available both as a PDF download and &#8220;if desired&#8221; in print): </p>
<p>Speed Read in Only One Hour teaches the basic techniques and has multiple reinforcement exercises.  If You Can Read This, You Can Read Faster is specifically designed for children. It is written at a third-grade reading level to help give young brains the best chance to re-learn how to read. It also teaches the basic techniques of the program. Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading is essential for anyone looking to go to college or go back to school. Focusing on concentration, note taking, and recall, this book will help students wade through the millions of words that need to be read each semester and give them time to not only finish their studies, but also to have a social life.</p>
<p>Think Right is a book not on speed reading, but as SpeedRead America takes a holistic approach to everything we do &#8220;helps one develop one&#8217;s own self-power and provides an ethical viewpoint on technology&#8221; Think Right focuses on learning to help set your thoughts on what you want and then accomplish anything that might be.</p>
<p>In addition to the books, the Complete Speed Reading Program has a dozen audio files designed to be listened to at any time &#8220;during a commute, during &#8220;down time&#8221; at work, or even during sleep&#8221; to buttress not only the speed reading, but the other topics covered in the books. Some of the audio files supplement the speed reading program while others cover reading comprehension, accelerated learning skills, memory enhancement and intuitive development. Others take on a more spiritual bent, offering tips and conditioning to aid in relaxation and stress relief, developing self confidence and self power, and eliminating the inner negative dialogue.</p>
<p>The Speed Read Complete books and courses have been sold all over the world, and have been translated into six major world languages. Developed by Dr. Jay Polmar, an expert in the fields of self-improvement, continuing <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;tag=httpwwwmusi0a-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26keyword=education%26index=blended"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://thomasthetrainfansite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" title="click here to view other educational rescources" rel="external">education</a><img class="amazon_image" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwmusi0a-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> and self-growth, The Complete Speed Read Program for Families boasts a success rate unheard of in its industry and offers a full money back guarantee that you will be reading noticeably and significantly faster in only 21 days.</p>
