      Hi,

      Thanks for sharing these resources. I do not know how to speed read, and I was wondering what all the fuss is about.

      Thanks for the great post. It’s a great article. I love speed reading now that I have been able to use a software program that works to help me.

      I have used the eyeQ program for a while now and I find that it has been the best fit for me on many different levels. I always recommend it to my family and friends. It helped me succeed in college and helps me everyday in my job to be the most productive employee I can be.

      I highly recommend the eyeQ program!
