Contrary to an accepted misconception, slow reading does not make you better understand what you are reading. On the contrary, when we read slowly, our attention gets distracted much more quickly because we give our brains the spaces to think about other things by trying to read slowly. Thanks to this application, you will be able to scan pages much faster by improving your eye muscles, you will learn to read more than one word at the same time by expanding your vision, and you will improve your concentration with concentration exercises. You will read your pdf and epub files much faster with the help of the reader with 2 different modes. o Do the exercises set for you every day in the speed reading course. o Improve your eye muscles, visual angle and concentration ability thanks to the exercises. o After doing the daily exercises, read at least 20 minutes daily with the help of the reader. o Do extra exercises until your eye muscles get tired to improve faster. o Track your 30-day progress with statistics. o You will now read and understand your books much faster than before. o It makes it easier for you to spend time reading books.

ReadingVelocity Read Faster. Remember More. In an age of endless scrolling and AI summaries, deep reading is becoming a lost art. ReadingVelocity is the training app that brings it back—treating reading like endurance athletics to build your Attentional VO2 Max: the cognitive stamina to sustain deep focus through dense texts. Developed by an educator and ultramarathoner with 25+ years teaching at Yale, The New School, and beyond, ReadingVelocity applies progressive overload to your brain. No gimmicks—just a proven, structured protocol that helps you read better, faster, and more. How It Works – The Three Readings in One Protocol PRIME (6%) – Your pre-race brief. Survey the terrain, set intention, and create mental hooks. PUSH (82%) – Sustained immersion at an “uncomfortable rate” (Cornell Rapid Reading) to break slow habits and build speed. PROCESS (12%) – Recovery and mastery. Catch key ideas, connect them to what you know, and clash with dissonance. Key Features Free Read – Train for time and focus. Paced Read – Finish assignments with precise page targets and WPM tracking. 90s Warm-Up Drills – Silencer Sprint (RSVP), Signal Scan, Peripheral Push. Coach's Log – Post-session feedback with coaching-inspired breakdowns. Log & Stats – Track Focus Score, WPM, streaks, and pages completed. Local Storage – Your data stays on your device. Why It Matters For 25 years I’ve refined this method in the classroom, helping students transform from passive readers into passionate, critical, and faster ones. Now I’m giving it away free to the world. The same protocol that helped students conquer 1,000-page epics can now help you reclaim deep reading in an age of distraction. Read Faster. Remember More. Your brain is a muscle. Let’s train it.
