The Reader's Edge

Who wouldn't want to learn to read faster and improve their comprehension skills? With The Reader's Edge® software from The Literacy Company, you can double your reading skills in as little as two weeks by investing just 15 minutes every other day. This innovative software includes six Fluent Reading exercises using a proprietary collection of Prime Words™, comprised from the 1,600 most common words used in print today.

Slower readers re-read words for meaning or pronunciation and can only see and read one word at a time. Fixating on each individual word reduces their reading rate and thus lowers their level of comprehension. Additionally, less efficient readers mentally vocalize or physically mouth each word, which means they are only able to read as fast as they can speak, which is usually only about 160 to 220 words per minute.

The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts
On the other hand, Fluent Readers are more efficient, effective readers because they see and read groups of words at once. Fluent Readers do not fixate on single words and do not re-read words. Because of this, Fluent Readers do not vocalize each word, making it possible to read faster.

In fact, the human brain can handle thousands of words per minute, which dispels the popular myth that slow reading leads to better comprehension. Because Fluent Readers see and read groups of words, they are better able to derive meanings of words from context instead of picking apart each word. If you want to read faster by becoming a Fluent Reader, order The Reader's Edge software today.
