AceReader Pro Computer Software Web Tips Guide
By Calista Joyner
Knowing how to read faster is a skill that an increasing number
of people are interested in learning about. Regardless of age
or occupation, one complaint that almost everyone seems to have
is not having enough time to process all the information that
they need.
AceReader Pro is a speed reading program published by StepWare
Inc. and it can help people with this very problem, by helping
them to gain reading speed improvement.
Gaining Better Reading Proficiency
This program is not just about helping people zip through printed
material faster, with pages fluttering down around them like a
snowstorm as they read. Like any good speed reading program, the
purpose of AceReader is to improve reading proficiency.
Increasing your proficiency means that not only is reading speed
increased, but comprehension levels are increased too. Gaining
reading speed without a commensurate increase in comprehension
is a bit like getting a race car, but having no place to drive
it around.
Your First Step
One of the first tasks of the AceReader Pro software is to assess
where a student currently is, in relation to their reading speed
and their level of comprehension. This is the first important
step in any speed reading course or software that is intended
to improve a student’s reading speed.
Without a clear snapshot of the current skill level, it is almost
impossible to know where the reader needs to begin their training,
not to mention the difficulty of tracking progress.
Learn How To Read Faster
The program next starts to teach you how to read faster and how
to make sure that your comprehension is keeping up with the increase
in reading speed. Unlike some of the speed reading programs that
are available, this program helps not only with your offline reading
tasks, but with online reading needs as well. The programs includes
special display modes that are designed to help you read faster
while you are using the computer.
Many people are not aware that the eyes and the brain process
information that is printed on paper differently from information
that is presented on the computer screen.
The Eye And The Brain Responds To Reflective And Transmissive
Light
This has to do with the how the eye, and therefore the brain,
responds to reflective light (light that bounces off of a printed
page) as opposed to transmissive light (such as the light that
emanates from the computer screen).
Studies have shown that comprehension and retention of material
is higher when people read from a printed page than from the computer
screen. The publishers understand this and have included special
training to help with this situation as well.
Breaking Two Bad Habits
Learning how to read faster will also help you to break two bad
habits, which are major stumbling blocks to speed reading. The
first habit is subvocalization, which almost everyone does.
Subvocalization is the act of pronouncing the words in your head
while you are reading. The program helps you speed your read,
to the point where it is essentially impossible to continue subvocalizing.
The second bad habit is re-reading or regression. This is also
common to virtually all average readers and is simply the tendency
to let your eyes wander backward to a previous line or paragraph
you have just read. The program helps readers overcome this habit
by flashing word sets at the user which forces them to read forward
and eliminate the opportunity to re-read.
Faster Reading With High Levels Of Comprehension
After these detrimental habits have been shaken, the student
will be able to read other materials and will no longer be hampered
by these common practices that get in the way of reading fast,
and with high levels of comprehension.
With the training that the AceReader Pro systems provides, people
often report feeling a sense of relief and reduced levels of stress,
with regard to keeping up with their information load.
People also say that they enjoy reading again because they are
able to accomplish so much more in less time, and are even able
to add recreational reading back into their schedules.

Is there a way to learn how to speed read?
Not everyone can speed read. There are no
tried and true methods that work for everyone. The best way to
learn how to speed read is to practice and study the different
methods that speed readers employ.
You may be able to learn how to skim through
the material for key words and phrases. You can also try to learn
how to read the material without silently pronouncing each word
in your mind.
