Flashing Words
When you're ready with full concentration, press the play button below.
This animation aims to show that everyone can read at much faster speeds without even trying. As the animation said, the words were eventually flashing at more than two times the average reading speed. Now consider this: you were only reading one word at a time. Bullet Read can show you how to read several words at a time, and can help you get to a point where you are reading fluently, easily, and very quickly. See the next demonstration to see more about reading more than one word at a time.
Peripheral Vision
If you were outside, by a nice mountain like this one, would you look around like this?
This is essentially what you are forcing yourself through when reading slowly.
It's possible to open up that field of vision and see more at a time.
If this mountain were described in a book, would you want hear about it in slow, separated fragments? Or at a nicer, faster speed, with even more detail, so that the image comes to you right away? Bullet Read can prove to you that more vivid imagery is possible when reading.

We are living in a world where being busy is nearly mandatory. We are so accustomed to being engaged in an activity, that if for a half-hour we don't do anything, we get bored.
For some reason, almost everything we do involves reading.
Some people reject this idea, saying that it is impossible. But when was the last time you've seen something that didn't have something written on it?
The fact that we don't acknowledge reading as an activity doesn't mean that it isn't there.
Reading anything takes time. How much time are you going to spend on it?
