Pete tells me Howard is a sweet guy. He also said he personally uses techniques similar to PhotoReading. He had difficulty teaching others how to do it. So credos to Paul for finding out how those fast readers do it and then developing a way to teach others to do it.
Howard's course is an excellent method to improve your reading and learning skills if you don't want to go the PhotoReading route. He doesn't promise to teach you to read at 25,000 words a minute because courts ruled that you cannot "read" faster than 800 words a minute. That's why the Guiness Book hasn't entered any others. And yes there were others recorded faster than 25,000 wpm. The put more print on a page to allow the individual to get closer to that 100,000 wpm mark. Fastest you can flip pages is about 60,000wpm with the average text in a book.
Paul's tested at 68,000wpm with 74% comprehension in 1984. PG 5 PhotoReading book 3rd edition. fastest recorded speed was 693,000wpm with 70% comprehension score. Remember PhotoReading is neither reading nor speed reading. So it cannot fall into the record book under "reading"
