Nope that was my natural speed before learning speed reading. Sur it pushed me to go faster and faster but comprehensin got worse and worse and that frustrated me as a result I started reading slower. I guess it's like always hitting a wall over certain terrain that you start to take it more conservatively. Was rather surprising to me that a few weeks after learning speed reading I was reading neally 90 wpm slower than before.
Now it's considerably faster between 600 and 1500 wpm depending on what I'm reading.
693,000 wpm with a 75% comprehension has been recorded years ago. Although it's not reading. Different experience to regular reading in that conscious comprehension was being built as the questions were being asked.
Yes they are bordering on 1 million wpm photoreading. But for conscious comprehension as we are accustomed to from regular reading requires activation.
I learnt from the book. Then added the home Study course. I didn't attend a seminar until I did my Instructor Candidate Training.
