  • 1:42 colt mccoy 

  • got my exams.. this is a perfect speed-reading period :p

  • optional: a book or article

  • fun fact: as long as the first and last letters are the same any mix of words can be read (ex.tihs is porof taht it dsenot mtater waht the odrer of the wdros are)

  • @shelby0508 yaeh its cool i konw ha i do tihs to my ferinds aolt

  • I just read downwards.

  • i thought the red book said gay

  • I decided to make a speed reading video, just cause you make people sit through that ad... please dont be a 'waste your time cast', even TV has 10 minutes of programming before they make you sit through an ad...

  • Did you know? JFK was a dirty liar and a fool. Anyway I heard George Dubya read a book a week. Got through to the entire Mr Men collection in less than a year...

  • how the hell did i get here... o.0

  • SH** I GOT A D.

  • yes

    

  • you dont need eyes?

  • 0:53 ;p looks like it says ass but I was speed reading...

  • Great! Thanks for shared

  • Stupid Mormon commercials.

  • 1:45 lol this is how you tell if a politician is lieing-if j=his lips are moveing

  • I was practicing using this video's description :D

  • I naturally read fast. When I finish tests, I pretend To read slow so I don't get called a cheater or something. lol

  • @Diamonds6Bxxth

    read fast = 1

    read slow = 2

    1 + 2 = 3

    2 = 2

  • Ery is my nickname is reality

  • Wow this makes it 10 times as confusing as it really is..

  • So will I understand only the overall point of whatever I'm speed reading? What if I need to remember specific details?

  • for a second there I though the book in 0:08 is called Gay

  • I naturally speed read.....I can read a 500 page book in like 2 or 3 days

  • dear JFK, "a" is not a word you can use in 1200 wpm

  • Too bad the SAT isn't white text on black background. Even though I do highlight as I read on the computer, I think its a bad habit for those who plan on taking paper-based exams such as the SATs.

  • this must somehow help my speed reading even though i already can read pretty fast and READ THE WHOLE THING 

  • 1:23 i have always done that :D

  • THIS MEANS READING, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHATS WRITTEN

  • So JFK claimed he could reading 1200 wpm yet he admitted later on that he exaggerated the number. OK, what's the point of that piece of information if it's false?

  • Ti me trying to read as fast as you can is stupid and childish. I very much prefer to re-read words and take pauses between paragraphs to make sure I understood everything than finishing reading a text in ultra speed risking not to understand it.

  • verycoolverycoolverycoolcoolI'­mSpeedtypingsofastI'mlosingcon­trolofmytypingandI'mtooslowtor­ethinkmycommenttyping.

  • 32 people rack of risiprine

  • the miss douch bag lol

  • @chosenone995 i know right! best name ever!! XD

  • i dont have discipline so fuckit

  • Remember the Old youtube?

    Where you could rate?

    Where there was no advertisements at the bottom of the video?

    Where you could see how long the videos were before you click on them so you wouldn't waste your time clicking on fake videos?

    Where advertisements won't come in the video?

    We want the old youtube back

    Copy and paste this to videos lets start a youtube riot

    Thumbs up to keep it at the top of the page

    Origionaly started by kian2attari

  • @kian2attari

    it keeps youtube running. so i wont thumbs up cause this helps youtube run and if it stays the same it wuld probely have to shut youtube down. there so many peeple going on youtube including more rpobely right now and youtube have to pay for that! do you want to pay for youtube membership? so shut up about it everything ends up changing afetr a few years.

  • and thats why he got shot.jk.

  • 0:08 i thought it said gay

  • Read this comment by speed reading

  • I read a 200pgs book in less than an hour , I read fast... down is wrong

  • @wobuainihaha wooooooaaaaaw sooo jealous of you... i wanna read that fast :((( did u just practice? and just succeeded?

  • I read a 200 in less than an hour , I read fast...

  • Thumbs up if you tried to do this in the comments

  • my reading has improved dramatically. i used to read 150wpm, and now i read 600wpm. im retaining 12% more info, too.

    im not endorsing a product, as i didnt use one. i think its just about training your eyes. when reading, i look at the centre of the text and read the whole line. thats a good start.

    soon you'll find you can do 2,3,4 lines. practice for half an hour a day and you'll soon reap the benefits.

    speed reading has improved my grades. it angers me that this wasnt taught in school.

  • Im disciplined and ready to practice.. but i have nothing for me to read

  • @nvrfrgt3 read the articles in playboy...a true test of your discipline! :D

  • "You'll need discipline and..." *hits x*

  • I know how to speed read but I forgot about it 20 second later....

  • I always say I want to learn to speed read, but in all honesty, it sounds like too much work. -_-

  • @jessface777 fuck you then

  • its more than exaggeration..its a fallacious statement 1200 words per minute is like 20 words per second=o

  • @qwerty1234569479 Yeah but it's really not that fast. remember that means he's reading equivilant of 20 words per second, and as a speed reader he may only be reading half of those words. If you can speed read, then time yourself reading a page for 10 seconds. once you're done, found the amount of words you just read, and divide by 10. That's your WPS( or X 60 = WPM) number! I just got 6 words per second and I am nowhere near a speed reader

  • @TIPAWEEK count** not found lol

  • @TIPAWEEK

    reading 20 words in a second is not possible even if he's skipping half of the words

    in this short time he cant decide what words to read and what to skip

    he might be skipping important details or words like 'not' etc

    that means he'd have his own interpretation of the passage which can be COMPLETELY WRONG TOO

  • @qwerty1234569479 Calm down fag. While speed reading you see more, he would see 'not' lol. here's a random fact lol, the human brain can tell a persons mood with just a flash of seeing the person(literally a couple milliseconds). You're not necessarily reading word for word, your brain is much quicker than that. Dammit I can't even explain this to you.

  • rfdsf

  • what?

    

  • i have discipline but i dont know where to buy practice?

    at walmart or the flea market?

  • You can read up to 100.000 words / minute with photoreading watch?v=s5VZa4USCTs

  • ok.

  • my speed reading is have fast eyes

  • " My name is rorgi sanchez, and i'm a moron " ad ! XD Stupid youtube (:.

  • How did i get here?

  • He said JFK could read 12000 words in a minute, but the video says he could read 1,200 words per minute ?!

  • @01892739795717823  he said "twelve HUNDRED" thats a way of saying 1,200 :)

  • If I speedread, my comprehension goes down. So I mostly use it for revision only, when I know what I'm reading.

  • Yeah... Now can you teach me how to sing fast? :D

  • i dont do any of that crap and im the 2nd fastest reader in my skool...my bro is fastest

  • @junkaccount4297 Tell us whats your method of speedreading then?

  • 29 people can't read!

  • You will need:

    discipline

    practice

    O_o so u dont need a book...

  • @TheMissDouchebag Nope. u can use a computor, laptop, Mac, Galaxy Tab, Kindle, etc.

  • @KaylaLoveYaLucas well where on the list can you see any of those??

  • @TheMissDouchebag smh don't ask me. Howcast just sucks that way <.<

  • excatly what i was thinkin

  • @TheMissDouchebag actually you don't there's this new invention called a Kindle -_^ OH yeah I forgot These people called Windows invented this "laptop" and "monitor"

  • @KaylaLoveYaLucas as i have replied other people many times, where on that "you will need" list did u see any of those O_o

  • @TheMissDouchebag JFK exaggerated... then was shot in the head...

  • @mikeweckstein huh??

  • lol i already do most of them... :p

  • You will need discipline and practice .. what about a book?

  • If you REALLY wanted to learn to speed read, then just try to read the uploader comments at the end of old failblog videos.

  • hahaahha.......i cant read....

  • Very interesting! Nice animation too!

  • oh i thought it was Speed Reload. DARNET

  • Yeah but i cant memorize the words when i dont sound it out in my head

  • I love this guy's voice

  • I think the Quick Reader app is better. Does anyone know of a speed reading tool like Quick Reader for google chrome?

  • Actually, there is an even faster method of reading called "diagonal" but it's very hard to learn. It allows you to read with maxium speed at 60000 signs per minute (world record) or a whole page in 3 seconds.

  • i took a speed reading class and i read War and Peace afterwards.

    it think the book was about russia

  • @samm90037 what are sparknotes?

  • @MrBasketballguy100 Spark notes are like cliff notes, but spark notes gives you more information. It's a study guide.

  • 0:00

    

  • 0:01

  • whenever i need to read a book fast i use sparknotes :)

  • Very practical advice on speed reading. I love it as this is how I read too.

  • hoping to get my papers done quickly somehow, i ended up here...

  • i can read very fast but i get the information in my head.

  • stupid faggots

  • jfk lied about other things as well

  • 0:36 i need to skip adds

  • Wow.. It's weird because I taught myself almost all of these techniques.. pretty intuitive if you think about it

  • how come it was written that this guy could read 1200 words per minute but the talking dude said 12000?

  • @aplsos112 "Twelve hundred" means 1200. It is accepted since it is faster to say than "one thousand two hundred."

  • @KrunchyGoodness oh. sorry English is not my mother tongue

  • @aplsos112 its correct, by saying 12-100=1200 twelve hundred , its correct, 2500- twentyfive houndred 25+100

    remove the 1 in 100 and add it to 25 or any number. if he says thousand then that is 12000.3 zeros.

  • 25 people cant read

  • @SuperSonic0808 I think that more than 25 people can't read.

  • @SuperSonic0808 dats not nice

  • so JFK is a dirty liar and deserved to be shot. the reporter btw was Lee Harvey Oswalt

  • who gives a shit if JFK can speed read or not

  • Ooooo reading....

    Something that every child likes to do.....

    Reading.....

    Yaa.....

  • Aw.... but that destroys the recreation of reading D:

  • but if I don't hear the words in my head I can't recall meaningful info

  • @yousurfer2 yeah

  • why would you say 5/100 and not 1/20. that's ridiculous.... trying to make it sound quicker than it actually is. 1:01

    I like the video though. i am using the techniques now.

  • or: just read silable by silable instead of letter by letter!

    sorry if those words don't exist, I am from argentina... i hate this stupid country :/

  • 300th commenter!

    anyway, i read doawk 5 (217 pages) in 90 minutes!

    that's 2.411 pages/minute!

  • This takes a different level of thinking than I'm capable of. My brain doesn't allow me to prioritize data efficiently.

  • Optional:Eyes

  • The down part of speedreading is that when you try to read outloud, your brain automatically changes all the word and leave out subjects. The only reason that I gave up speedreading.. in grade 3. When you mouth words, you actually read exactly whats there. So decide. Speed read or read outloud? Because you can only do one. Either your brain reads quickly or reads each word..

  • deaR deepS oT woH

  • This makes me want to start reading books, something I don't do because I am slow at reading.

  • VERY good and true advice here.

  • 00:13 OKLAHOMA FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how to not understand what your reading

  • i love how this video is set up, it's really helpful and its rather a cute video!(:

  • it would probably take me about 2 months to read a 300 page book and my teacher would expect me to read that in 2 weeks WTF!!! and i would be at like page 20 in 2 weeks. im not a bad reader i just hate reading

  • I need to actually read slower ._.

  • it takes me 3 minuats to read a stop sign

  • @SNARFALARFAGOUS33 maybe becuz its INVISIABLE :U

  • who the fuck re-reads words? thats retarded/

  • @Arkanni you do

  • @myvidspwn umm...no. no i dont. i read fast as fuck and i never re=read anything.

  • @Arkanni People may reread certain words or sentences to reinforced what they've just learnt.

  • what about a book for something you need?????

  • niice

  • Sometimes, I randomly select 10 sentences. All stories and information(s) are the same.

  • can someone please tell me how you can stop saying a word a loud in your head? It seems impossible to me.

  • @ash3rr Take a look at my video by the title of "the key to speed reading: easily eliminate subvocalization" - I'll walk you through it.

  • I don't have those materials. :/

  • i read a 78 chapter book in 1 day. no joke... it was a short ass book! in one chapter, it had like 10 words and then it went to the next chapter.... xD

  • step 1.......sparknotes

  • i hate chain letters

  • speed reading is real you stupid fucks

  • Every1 is mouthing the words silently in my class except me so they always sue me... god it's annoying >_>

  • I can read a 500 hundred page book in 30 minutes

  • @commfg23 I HATE UCUZ U POSTED A CHAIN LETTER I HAVE BUT NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!!

  • @Hemdog560 wut a never did that?

  • been doing it since i was in like 2nd grade

  • i can read a page and a half in 30 secs

  • It's not reading, it's scanning the pages. A lot of the details are missed and only the basic message absorbed, so the technique only works to a certain point and it depends on what the subject matter is.

  • @furtherbeyond it is reading. I can read at maximum 2,000 wpm, if I try. If I don't, I go down to 300-500

  • WAIT WAIT WAIT, YOU DON'T NEED EYES!?!?!?!?!?

  • @FORD5000solo2001 I've always wondered why people say stuff like that when they don't name the item in the vid, but then when they tell them they'll need something abvious they critizise them.xD

  • @WebkinzAnimania43 Lol, I dono! I just stole that dumbass comment from someone else! :D

    I didn't even know it was a highest rated comment so thanks!

  • @FORD5000solo2001 Nope - even blind people can read :D

  • @FORD5000solo2001 Or words! IT'S MAGIC!

  • @FORD5000solo2001 we can use our teeth :D

  • @FORD5000solo2001 dont you also need a book?

  • @FORD5000solo2001 lol thats hilarious

  • @FORD5000solo2001 or a book

  • So this JFK guy was a student of speed reading, hmm i kinda remember him from something else
