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.
