Common Reading Mistakes and How to Fix Them 📚

I'm gonna start with the obstacles. In no particular order, number one is— number one obstacle, lack of education. And that's kind of obvious, but reading is a skill, right? It's not something you're— nobody here was born and then went out in the waiting room and just started reading magazines, right? It's a skill that's learned. And any— but the challenge is, how old were you the last time you took a class called reading? Not like a college literature class, but a class called reading. How old were you? 6. 6, 5, 7? So can we agree that the difficulty and the demand has increased a lot in terms of your reading needs, but how we read is still that of a 5, 6, 7-year-old? And that growing gap creates something called information anxiety, higher blood pressure, compression of leisure time, more sleeplessness. You know, for those who employ individuals, It's the largest line item for any business is payroll, right? It's human capital. The average person in their job absorbs, reads about 4 hours a day. You're reading research, you're catching up on emails, social media, whatever you're reading, newspapers, magazines, books, whatever. 4 hours a day processing information, reports, you know, proposals, whatever you're reading. 4 hours a day. That means half of someone's salary is being paid to read, right? So if someone's getting paid $50,000, they're being paid $25,000 just to read something ubiquitous. So if you double your reading speed, you save, you know, you're even more employable. Like when you go through this and put this even on your resume that you've gone through, you know, our courses, and I've trained teachers in the top education systems in South Korea and around the world, in Finland, right? They take a personal interest because nobody teaches in school how to learn. It's just what to learn. Math, history, science, Spanish, but no classes on how to learn. Second one is a big one. Number 2, lack of the F word, focus. How many of you have trouble focusing when you read? Will that slow you down? Will that affect your comprehension and your retention? Of course, right? And I'll share with you what The real key for focus is, 'cause again, we have students in our Kwik Reading program in every country in the world, so we get a lot of feedback. If I asked you to read faster, what do you think your comprehension, what would happen to your comprehension? What would happen to your comprehension if I asked you to read faster? Everyone says less, go down, decrease, right? In actuality, because we have so much data, The fastest readers generally have better comprehension. So I want you to take that in because I'm about to teach you how to read faster, but if your mindset— remember mindset, motivation, methods— you won't do the method I'm about to teach you if your mindset is, oh, if I read faster, I'm not going to understand. Does that make sense? Yeah. And here's the reason why. Your brain is this incredible supercomputer, and your self-talk is the program it will run, so you have to think about that your talk that you have for when you read. What are you saying to yourself? And by the way, if you're talking to yourself, you're not really reading. Is that fair? And this supercomputer, when you read, this is how most people read. One word at a time. Now, did you get a shift change, like when I started talking? It's hard, 'cause I'm from New York, right? So it's hard for me to talk that slow. And if I talk that slowly, What would happen, what would you experience if I talk this slow? What would your mind do? You would lose focus, it would be torture, you would be disengaged, you would be distracted, your mind would wander, you would have anxiety, you'd be bored, you'd fall asleep. Now, aren't those the same things that happen when you read? Yes. So, what I'm saying is when I talk Slow. Slow. I can't even talk that slow. When I talk slowly, your mind will naturally wander, you'll fall asleep, you'll think about other things, you'll lack focus, you'll be bored. Isn't that how you experience reading today? You lack focus, you get distracted, you think about other things, you fall asleep. How many of you use reading as a sedative? Let's get really raw. How many of you have a book by your nightstand, by your bed, that you've been reading an embarrassingly long time and use it to fall asleep? That's not the association you wanna have to reading. Because how you do anything is how you do everything. If reading puts you to sleep, that's a challenge. So, what's the opposite? So, notice you're not gonna have the comprehension 'cause you're reading too slow, but the faster readers, they have no time to wander. If you don't give— let me say it a different way. If you don't give your brain the stimulus it needs, it'll seek entertainment elsewhere in the form of distraction. This is a core principle. If you don't give your brain, this incredible supercomputer, the stimulus it needs, it'll seek entertainment elsewhere in the form of mind wandering, in the form of distraction. It's kind of like riding— reading slowly is like riding a bike really slow. Can you ride? What happens if you ride a bike really slow? You're gonna fall, you're gonna wobble, right? And that's what most people are doing reading. Let me put it a different way, 'cause I like— I use a lot of analogies, a lot of metaphors, because that's That's one of the ways to accelerate your learning, through stories. Like, how would they pass on information, you know, back before there were books and printing presses? It would be stories around campfires. It would be parables, right? And what it does is it connects something you don't know to something you know. Like, when I talk about a thermometer and a thermostat, how a thermometer reacts to the environment, but a thermostat sets the environment, we understand that instantly. All learning, you wanna know what fundamentally what learning is? You're taking an unknown and you're connecting it to something known. You're taking something outside of yourself and connecting to something inside. Because like math, let's take math in the spirit of Scott Flansburg. Have you ever been sick in school, like maybe for a week or two, and you miss math, and then you come back and you have no idea what they're talking about because everything builds on the next thing, right? Because then you're trying to connect 2 things that you don't even know. You don't know sine, you don't know cosine, you don't know tangent, so there's no connection. It stays outside of you. But when you can link it to something you already know, then it becomes more of your permanent network, if that makes sense. But going back to the metaphor, I want you to imagine driving a car, and you're going very slowly. You're in your neighborhood. Are you really focused on the act of driving? Have you ever got to work or got home, and you don't even remember the trip there? Has anyone done this before? Yeah. Right? And the idea here is you're going so slow, you don't have— you're not focusing on driving. What are you doing? You're drinking your coffee, you're texting, which you know you shouldn't multitask and do that, you're listening to radio, you're singing a song, you think about the dry cleaning, you're talking to somebody in the car, right? You do 5 different things because you're going slow. Let's say you're an F1 racer, right, and we train a lot of race car drivers, improve their reaction time, their thinking speed, right? 'Cause those milliseconds count. What are you— if you're going, taking hairpin turns, you're going 200 miles an hour, are you more or less focused? Are you thinking about the dry cleaning? Are you trying to text? Are you checking your hair, your makeup, right? Are you drinking coffee? Are you talking to anybody? No, you're not doing any of that. What are you focused on? 2 things: what's in front of you and the act of driving. That's why faster readers have better focus, because they— Their mind's not wandering, and they have to focus on what's in front of them and the act of actually reading. Does that make sense? All right, and so the idea here, and obviously there are limits, and why I say limitless is nobody's really sure on how fast you could read, right? But here's the thing, we could all exercise our body and get stronger, right? Same thing with your reading muscles also as well. So I want to put lack of focus here, because if your mindset is, if I read faster, I'm gonna be smarter. I'm not gonna understand. If you read faster, you'll have better focus, and because you have better focus, you'll have better comprehension and retention. Now, the third one, and I'm gonna give you ideas on how to overcome this. This is the hard one to overcome. That's why our program is, our Kwik Reading program, which many of you have that are reading 800 words per minute. I'm— thank you for graduating that program. Thank you. This is the thing that it's hard to fix today. It really takes a few weeks because it's a habit, right? But I'll tell you it anyway. It's something called subvocalization. What's subvocalization? I'm gonna show you a slide, and it's gonna be a simple phrase, and I want us To do 2 things. I want us to read it out loud together. That's the important key. Read it out loud. And I want you to try, as you're reading it out loud, to count the number of Fs. F is in focus. All right? Are you ready? Let's— but you have to read it out loud. Are you ready? Okay. Show the slide, please. Is it up? Okay. Let's read it out loud. Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years. All right, how many Fs are there? I see 1, I see 0, I see 2, I see 3s, mostly 3s, 4, 7, 8. Wow. All right, so everywhere from 0, 8, no, 10. All right, everyone from 0 to 10. Now, are we all looking at the same slide? I'm gonna give you one more try. The key to get this is to read it out loud. Are you ready? Here we go. Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years. All right, tell me your final answer. Okay, no zeros, that's good. 2? All right, 80% of people still saying 3. I see some 4s, some 5s, some 6s, 7s, 8s. Okay, so I see everywhere from 2 to 8. Okay. How many Fs are there? All right, I'm gonna show you again. Does everyone count? How many Fs? 2. How many Fs are there? There are 6. Now, if you didn't get it the first time, where— I don't even want to address the 7, 8, 9, and 10s. But if you didn't get the Fs the first time, where were they hidden if they were hidden somewhere? Yes, in the of's. In the of's. Do you see that? The 3— so most people saw 3, right? How many of you guys saw 3 the first time and the second time mostly? The F's were hidden in the of's. Now, how does this relate to subvocalization? Subvocalization is your inner talk. Sub, sub meaning like in a submarine, under. Vocal speech. It's your inner under-speech. Have you ever noticed when you're reading something, even when you just did it in the beginning of the session, you hear that inner voice reading along with you? Do you hear that voice? Hopefully it's your own voice. It's not like somebody else's voice in there. The reason why it's a challenge is because if you have to say all the words in order to understand them, you can only read as fast as you could speak. That means your reading speed is limited to your talking speed, but not your thinking speed. How many of you listen to podcasts or audiobooks and you do it at higher speeds? Right? 'Cause you can understand it at those higher speeds, especially after you train yourself to learn it at 1.5 or 2x or 2.5 or 3x, you can understand it, but nobody could speak that fast, right? Now, when I went through Finnish files, results of years of scientific study, The reason why it was difficult is I had you read it out loud, right? Because it creates, in psychology, something called a scotoma. It's a blind spot. You go, finished files result of, of, you're saying it out loud, of. What letter does it sound like, of, if you're reading it with sound? V, right? Finished files result of, and then you think it's a— you see the F clearly, 'cause you're reading it, but you're you're perceiving a V. And it's just an exercise, and this is how we do everything with the Limitless Mind System, is we use these examples to kind of change your learning pattern, your neurological networks, to give you experience instead of just lecturing, right? That's why we do all these exercises all the time because I want— if you can't do it, you don't know it, right? And so, subvocalization is a challenge. And because you're saying the words, that's what keeps you reading it slow. And let's back up. Do you need to say New York City in order to understand what New York City is? Computer? No, right? 'Cause you've seen these words tens of thousands of times. It's just like if you're driving and you see a street sign like stop, I guarantee you— You know what it means. None of you say the word stop all the time in your head, but do you comprehend what it means? 100%, right? 95% of the words you read on a regular basis are like that stop sign, and they're what they call sight words, words you know by sight 'cause you've seen it so much you don't have to pronounce it by sound. Like, one of the fastest readers, like, in U.S. history is John F. Kennedy. And he was said to have read 6 newspapers every morning with 1 cup of coffee. Now, I know for some of you, you're thinking like, wow, it takes me, it would take me 6 cups of coffee just to get through 1 newspaper, right? But he knew the importance of reading as a leader that he actually brought speed reading trainers into the White House to train his staff, right? He's also on record as having one of the fastest speeches in, uh, in, in U.S. history. But let's say he could talk— he was said to have read anywhere from 800 to 1,200 words a minute. Now think about that. 800 to 1,200— does that person have an advantage over someone who reads 200 words a minute? If you could read 4, 5, 6 times faster and understand, right? He was said to have read around 800 to 1,200 words a minute, 'cause it varies depending on what you're reading, right? Like, if you don't speak French, speed reading French is not gonna help, right? If you're reading something very technical, you have to slow down. But the idea here is You don't wanna read everything at 200 words a minute, which is what everyone does. But it's like Scott Flansburg and I were talking about going out and playing golf. It's like, if you have to use the same club every single time, you're not gonna be effective, because there's different clubs for different scenarios, right? Same thing with reading. You can read some things slowly, but some things you go more rapidly. And having that variance, having that adaptability, gives you so much power. All right, in game theory, for those of you who know game theory, whether it's chess or whatever, those who have the most options will always win, everything else being equal. Do you have too much to read but too little time? Are your shelves full of books that you haven't read yet and become shelf help, not self-help? And that's why I created the Kwik Reading Course. 15 minutes a day, 21 days will absolutely transform your life. Just go to Use the code PODCAST15 and you'll get instant access. And so subvocalization, if let's say John F. Kennedy could speak at 300 words a minute, which is pretty fast, but he could read at 1,000 words a minute, there's 700 words per minute he's just not pronouncing, right? Now, where did this subvocalization come from? Well, it came from when we learned how to read. Remember when you were 5, 6, 7, whenever you said? Then you had to read out loud, 'cause the teacher needed to know you're reading and pronouncing the words correctly. But later on, teacher probably got tired of hearing you and said, remember this phrase? Read silently to yourself. Read quietly to yourself. And that's where you took that external, you were saying it out loud, and you internalized it. Because in order for me to understand it, I have to hear it. If not out loud, then inside my mind. All right? Now, you don't have to say the words, because most words also are filler words. And, there, because, the, right? These are filler words. Or even it's like reading and saying things is like— nobody reads and says punctuation marks. You don't read dot, dot, dot, dot, semicolon, dot, dot, dot, dot, question mark, dot, dot, dot, dot, exclamation mark. You don't do that, right? But think about it. Those are just symbols. The punctuation marks are symbols. The words are symbols too, right? So, the idea here is reducing subvocalization. I'll give you a couple of tips, but tips don't really work that well, but I'll give you a couple that maybe works. One of the ways, you might wanna count when you read. So, imagine you're reading something and you're going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in your mind, out loud, or, you know, in your mind or silently, 3, 4, 5, 6, you keep on counting. 'Cause the idea here is you can't read what's in front of you and count at the same time, right? So, you have to do— and after a while, it'll be very confusing for a lot of people. So, I think there are better skills that take training to unravel that. You know what a lot of becoming a limitless learner is? It's unlearning. Unlearning the bad rote memory, you have to repeat something 100 times in order to understand it when you could just do it once or twice, reading slowly, all that. It's just unlearning bad habits. Right, so the people that are gonna really earn the most are people who could learn, unlearn, and relearn, right, and take that new learnings and put it into action. There is no greater superpower in today's day and age because you could apply that towards everything: medicine, marketing, money, everything gets easier. Subvocalization. Some people will bite on something when they read because some people, like, will subvocalize moving their lips while they read, and it'll kind of break that pattern. You could try it if you like. It could work in some cases, you know, but really I'd be doing you a disservice. Tips are different than trainings, right? But in the time we have, those are tips. Fourth obstacle, and I'll go through a solution, regression. Regression is the act of— have you ever read something you found yourself rereading words or rereading a whole line? Has anyone ever done that before? That's regression. Regression is back-skipping, and you do this more than you realize you're doing it. I sat in on studies where subjects are reading off of a screen, and they have a technology where they could shine a light, and then it reflects to where their focal point is, like where their line of sight is. They use this in advertising, television commercials, because they want to see where your line of sight is so they could put their product in your view, right? Kind of makes sense. So a lot going on behind the scenes for neuromarketing. Which we advise people on also as well. But the idea here is when people are tested using this technology, they'll see their eyes go forward and then back, forward, forward, forward, and back. So it'll do something called backskipping. So if you spend a third of your time rereading words, that's lost, that's gonna slow down your speed. And it doesn't even help with your comprehension. I mean, imagine we have a screen here, we're all together here watching a movie you're really excited about watching. But somebody is off to the side with, let's say, a child with a remote control, and every 30 seconds, you know, this little child rewinds it. Every 30 seconds, rewinds. Every 30 seconds, rewinds, right? Goes back, goes back. Would that— how would you feel about that experience? Movie you really wanna watch, and somebody just keeps on rewinding, rewinding, rewinding. Yeah, it would be annoying, right? Would it help, it would take longer to watch that movie, yes, and would it help your comprehension at all? Not at all, 'cause it would break up the rhythm and the flow of the information, right? So we do this unconsciously. And then the 5th obstacle to effective reading is belief, 'cause if you believe you're a slow reader, if you believe you're stupid, if you believe you're not focused, whatever it is, you're not gonna be able to reach that potential, all right? So these are 5 obstacles to effective reading. Let me give you a couple tips Right now. So, what I want you to do is, first thing is, a visual pacer will help you read. Now, if you're just joining us, the exercise you need to do is have a base rate, is to pick a book that you're reading, put a dot in the margin, time yourself for 60 seconds, and then put a mark in the margin where you left off, count the number of lines, right? Because I'm about to give you some speed reading, quick reading tips, but how do you know if it works unless you have some kind of— Benchmark. Gauge, a baseline, right? One of the keys to reading faster is using a visual pacer. A visual pacer is you underlining what you read. If you're reading on a tablet, you're not touching the screen, or you're not touching the print book, you're just right above it. You can use your finger, you can use a pen, a highlighter, right? A mouse if you're reading on the computer, whatever. A visual pacer, you're not skipping anything, 'cause how many of you have taken a traditional speed reading class before? Traditional speed reading has been more skipping words, scanning, skimming, right? And you get the gist of what you read. But as a memory trainer, I want you to understand and remember what you're reading. Like, we train a lot of attorneys, a lot of financial advisors, a lot of doctors. You do not want your doctor to get the gist of what she's reading, right? So the idea here is you're going margin to margin, you're just underlining the words. And this is gonna help boost your reading speed because you're not gonna regress, because it's gonna help your focus, because you're using your finger when you read will pull you through the information as opposed to your attention being pulled apart, and it'll help you from back-skipping and regressing, right? You're not gonna go consciously back when your finger's pulling you forward. Now, a few reasons why this works. Number 1, children naturally do this. Like, we have an 18-month-old, and we read to him every day, and he naturally will touch the words and underline, because he knows it helps him to focus. It's interesting, too, 'cause children— our son, 18 months, I'll go like, look at my keys, look at my keys, and what will that child do? Grab 'em. Grab 'em, because he associates seeing and feeling. Right? So, number one, children do it naturally. Number two, you do it. Like, no one here read with their finger unless they've gone through some of our training before, right? Those who are reading 500 words, 800 words, I saw 1,000 words per minute, but you use your finger when you read. You don't— you didn't do it when I asked you to, but when I asked you to count the number of lines that you read, what did you all do? You went 1, 2 with your finger, because you know unconsciously it's a better way to focus. Right? Why not use that to read instead of just counting lines? But the reason why you do it, number one, children do it. Number two, you do it. Number three, your eyes are attracted to motion. Like if Dr. Bruce just ran across the screen and you saw, nobody would pay attention to me 'cause your eyes are attracted to motion. Think about it as a hunter-gatherer thousands of years ago, right? You're in a bush, you're hunting lunch. Like it's a rabbit or you're hunting lunch, maybe it's a carrot depending on your diet. If the bush next to you moves, you have to look because it's your survival. Number one, it could be lunch, or number two, you could be lunch, right? You are trained to look at what moves. So, when your finger's going across the page, your eyes are gonna sync with those— your finger, because you have to focus on what moves most in your vision, in your field of vision. Does that make sense? Yeah. All right. And then, the last reason I'll give you, because adults, we want to know why in order to do the what. Start with why, Simon Sinek, right? And, it's how your nervous system is set up. Without going into too much detail, certain senses work very closely together. Like, have you ever tasted a great piece of fruit like a peach? Like, not something that's been sprayed and waxed in a grocery store for like 6 months, but like something right off the vine or at a farmer's market? Ever taste a great piece of fruit? It's amazing, right? Like, my mouth is watering even thinking about that. You're not— here's an update. You're not actually tasting the peach; you're smelling the peach. But your sense of smell and taste are so closely linked in your nervous system, you can't often tell the difference. Sorry, you know the difference if you're sick. If your nose is congested, what does some food taste like? Bland. It just tastes bland, right? It doesn't have any flavor. 'Cause a lot of— your tongue can't actually process the taste buds what a peach tastes like. You're actually smelling the peach. So, just as your sense of smell and taste are closely linked in your nervous system that you can't tell the difference, so is your sense of sight and your sense of touch. That's why when I go like this to our son, look at the keys, I say, look, look, he grabs them because sense of sight and touch are so closely linked. People, after using their finger for a while, will say to me anecdotally, I don't know what it is. I'm reading faster, but I also feel more in touch with my reading. Right? The language kind of gives it away. In fact, if somebody loses their sense of sight, how do you read? Braille. Braille, right? Sense of touch. So, these are all the reasons I'm encouraging you to use your finger while you read. Now, do this. Shake out your hands. Put your pen down, your book down. And I want you to do this exercise. Remember I mentioned educational kinesiology where you're doing this, you're moving around a little bit? I always do this before I read and study. You could do it too, feel free. This helps integrate your left and right brain. So, your left brain logic, right, words, sounds, your right brain emotions, visualization. So, if you can integrate that, you're seeing the word and getting the experience. You're seeing it and feeling it. You're not just hearing it and seeing it. All right, what I want you to do is I want you to put your hands out Your index finger's up, and I want you to just look at the top of your index fingers, and I want you to do an infinity sign, right? This is all about becoming limitless. You know what the infinity sign is? It's like an 8 on its side. And I want you, without moving your head, just follow the top of your fingertips with your eyes, and go slow. The key is to go slow. That's the integration. Slow is smooth. And smooth is fast. I do a lot of training for the military. They have that phrase when it comes to even firearms, slow. So what I want you to do is you're interlacing your fingers, your index fingers are up, you're focusing on the tips of your finger, and you're just moving it as an infinity sign, and you're not moving your head. Some of you have to slow down even more. Slow. And this is an exercise not only integrating your left and right brain, it's an exercise of training you to look at your finger, and it's an exercise— how many feel it in your vision? It's an exercise for improving your field of sight, your peripheral vision. And you can go now the opposite way. Some of you are holding your breath. It's a lot easier if you breathe. So, again, you're doing the limitless sign. Even if you look at my book, it looks— there's an infinity sign. If you look at it, it looks like DNA. A lot of thought went into that cover. There's deep 7-layer meanings. All right? All right, shake out your hands. And you could do this, just palm your eyes. They do this in yoga, right? Just kind of warm up your hands. All right, so they're warm, and then just gently place them over your eyes. Don't press on your eyes, just cup your eyes. And just breathe. Close your eyes, just breathe normal. All right, what I want everybody to do now is pick up your book, and don't pick up where you left off yet. I just want you to practice, just practice Pick up anywhere. You can open up even to a random page. I want you to just, in fact, try this. Here's a hack. Turn your book upside down so you don't have to comprehend it. And I want you just to practice using your hand and going left to right, left to right, or if you're reading in a different language that goes right to left, you could do that too. Same principle applies. And again, you're not moving your head, you're just following your finger with your eyes. You're not touching the page, you're not touching the screen. Just going back and forth and just get used to what that feels like. What does that feel like? Just breathe normally. Going left to right, left to right, and just practice following your finger across the page. Okay, stop. Now, that should have felt a little weird. I mean, put it, share how it felt. Feels familiar? Wow, that's great. How did it feel? You still comprehend it upside down? That's amazing. Weird, right? Odd? Strange? Strange. And the idea here is we're activating neuroplasticity. If everything is so easy, you're probably not learning something. I mean, I'll say that again. It's just like a workout. If you're working out and it's too easy, you're probably not challenging yourself enough. And so a lot of, you know, especially when it's technical material and everything else, whenever you're learning something, there has to be a certain level of challenge in order to affect change and neuroplasticity. So what I want you to do now is I want you to pick up where you left off, and I'm gonna time you for 60 seconds. All right, don't start yet, don't start yet. I want you to pick up where the second mark is, and I'm gonna have you read for 60 seconds using your finger this time, and have your finger guide you through, and then when I say stop, you're gonna put a mark in the margin, count the number of lines, and share it if you'd like. Are you ready? And begin. All right, and stop. Put a mark in the margin. And this was your second run-through. Yeah, you're doing it right side up if you read this. And count the number of lines that you just read. If you want to share your before and after, that would be great, either your lines per minute or your words per minute. 12 to 19, 18 to 26, 21 to 28. Wow, big jumps. I'm like speed reading all these answers here. 300 words per minute to 430 words per minute. 20 lines per minute to 30 lines per minute. 35 to 57? That's amazing. So the idea here, many of you improved if you do the mental math. 'Cause I'm a student of Scott's. It's about 25 to 50%. Some of you doubled your reading speed. And that's after like 1 minute of practice. And so this is the first stage, but this, after you practice, especially for a couple weeks, there is an upward limit though, 'cause you're only gonna be able to go as fast as you could subvocalize, right? And so that's why, and unfortunately we can't in this, in 1 day overcome subvocalization, but it'll get you to a point where a lot of you could double your reading speed. Where you could read as fast as you could talk, right? It's different techniques that take training each day, exercises to be able to reduce that subvocalization, to be able to unlock many of our students. On average, we have over a 300% increase in reading speed after 21 days. For those of you who've gone through Kwik Reading, you could probably validate that with better comprehension, all right? All right, doubled, amazing. Why not touch this page? You can touch the page if you want, but I guarantee when you go faster, there's this thing called friction, and I've set so many books on fire as fast as I read. So just for me, it's easier in the beginning just to not touch the page if that's possible. All right, did everyone find this session valuable? Yes? For reading? Amazing. All right, and that's just, by the way, what I just shared was what was on day 1 of the Kwik Reading Program. The next 20 days is really going into all these other exercises that get you reading forwards and backwards and doing all kinds of amazing things.
