Eye Tracking and Speed Reading
The best speed reading courses contain eye-tracking exercises and games that activate right brain function such as imaging and mass memory acquisition.
The Secrets Possessed by the Few
In Makato Shichida's Child Academies, we'll find young children flipping through books at high speed, taking tests on the book's subject matter, and getting high test scores.
With Infinite Mind's EyeQ speed reading software developed by Dr. Akihiro Kawamura, we see accelerated learning methods used to produce similar results as Shichida. (See below right for more.)
Follow That Dot accelerated learning eye-tracking, photographic memory game. Part of Memory Magic games CD. Eye-tracking cards also available. See below for more info. In addition, Mercury Learning Systems' Follow That Dot accelerated learning online and computer software as well as their Eye Tracking Exercise Cards, also use techniques similar to those listed above. (See below for games and cards.)
The Secrets Behind Speed Reading Revealed
We found that all three of these programs have something in common that few others possess: Exercises and games targeted for the right brain that strengthen eye-tracking, stimulate and activate right brain function such as imaging and mass memory acquisition. They also create strong connections between the right brain and the left brain's conscious recall function.
In short, true speed reading is your ability to store the "image" of pages or blocks of text through your right brain mind, and later be able to recall the information from those pages through your conscious left brain mind.
Sounds pretty amazing doesn't it? It is amazing but it's true! Below are some of the techniques used by Shichida, Infinite Mind and Mercury Learning that help us develop these abilities.
Accelerated Learning Techniques for Speed Reading
Strengthening Our Eye Muscles
To strengthen our eye muscles, we want use their unique eye-tracking exercises and games. They strengthen and expand our vertical, horizontal, diagonal, global and field of vision muscles. When we strengthen our eye muscles in this way, we're able to image faster and store larger blocks of text at a time. And, by using these accelerated learning techniques, we form strong connections between our subconscious right brain function and conscious left brain function. This leads to speed reading.
In addition, using these particular exercises and games are great for young children, those with eye-tracking difficulties of any age or learning ability.
Photographic High-Speed Imaging
Photographic high-speed imaging is a right brain function we can do very easily - children especially. In fact, everything we see is instantly stored in our subconscious right brain mind. The problem is most of us don't have the ability to bring those image memories out to our conscious left brain mind at will; we haven't developed the right brain left brain connections which enable it.
That's why Shichida, Infinite Mind and Mercury Learning's exercises and games are so good. They have all developed unique accelerated learning techniquess that strengthen imaging abilities and memory recall. Some of their exercises even help you type faster and do other tasks faster and better due to the residual effects of enhanced brain right brain left brain function.
Other Techniques
For his training, Shichida's Academies use several different accelerated learning methods to unlock the power of the right brain. His techniques not only produce high-speed readers, but also children who can solve complex math problems instantly, recall hundreds of objects in sequential order, and play musical instruments well at a very young age (to name a few results of his training).
Infinite Mind's EyeQ Speed Reading software gets us out of the habit of vocalizing the words out loud or in our mind when we read. They found this habit reduces reading speed dramatically. One of the methods they use is leading the student through a series of speed tracking squares with text very quickly (see pic. at right). They also use other great accelerated learning right brain education methods that really work to increase your reading speed 2, up to 10, times faster. You should try it yourself. It's THE BEST true speed reading program we have ever seen - period!
The Follow That Dot game on the Memory Magic CD (see below) is an addicting accelerating learning game that not only helps with eye tracking, but you are actually imaging shape patterns (right brain input) and then recalling the patterns (left brain output). It's so fun that we've heard of an entire family gathering around to play it. The neat thing is you're developing your right brain photographic memory without you even knowing it! There's seven levels and many different ways to play this game but only two teens have been known to consistently beat level seven!
