Conclusion

The drills in section one do many things for you. They teach you to pace your eyes without using your hand. At the same time they prevent regression. Comprehension goes up when you read by meaning groups, giving clearer pictures and stronger emotional responses. Reading several words at a time increases your speed. But the most important step is counting out loud, which breaks subvocalization. This is the most important step in the system. Once you break subvocalization, the rest comes naturally. Even without the formal drills, once you stop subvocalizing, you will naturally rise to a new level of reading. But as long as you are subvocalizing you will be chained to "speed of speech" reading. Hopefully this helps you resolve to do the drills out loud. It can seem awkward or uncomfortable, but it works. Keep in mind that counting out loud is just for drills, in private. You won't really read by counting out loud unless you just feel like it. For doing the drills, for breaking the shackles of subvocalization, there is no substitute for counting out loud.

The good news about counting out loud is that it works! Other systems teach pacing by hand, and leave the subvocalization problem to blind luck. Hand pacing does nothing to break subvocalization. The exact opposite is true; hand pacing is totally useless until the reader figures out how to break the subvocalization habit. Some people figure it out without knowing how. The drills in this book make it possible for everyone to succeed at breaking the habit of subvocalizing, if you count out loud! In reward for doing the drills and counting out loud, you will be freed from the habit of subvocalization. You will also be freed of the embarrassment of waving your hand over the page like a madman. The drills in this book teach you how to speed read easily and naturally, anytime, anywhere. So, pick a private place, drill out loud for ten minutes a day, and reap the rewards!!

This book shouldn't need to be written. The skills taught here should be part of every junior high school curriculum. No one should be left on their own to struggle from reading one word at a time up to reading larger meaning groups. You have read the rationale. Once the method is working for you, I hope you will spread the word. I hope you will loan this book to your friends, to your children. I hope you will give a copy to a teacher. Don't let it stop with you. If it works, share it. You will be making the world a better place.
