After a few weeks with The Reader's Edge, rapid reading will become instinctive... it will become as natural as riding a bike... and you will never forget how to read faster with better comprehension and retention.
- Richard Sutz, Found and CEO of The Literacy Company
My grandson is a very bright young man with a very slow reading pace. He took the ACT for the first time, as an 8th grader and he scored at 29 on the composite. His reading score was 28. Most people would be very happy with a 29 on the ACT. He has had very high aspirations for college since he was in grade school. For that reason, a 29 was not good enough for him. He took the ACT, 5 more times and could never raise his reading score. He did raise his composite score to 31, but that was still not good enough. I felt like we needed more information about his ability and academic strengths and weaknesses. I had him given a psycho educational battery of tests and I was a bit surprised at the results. It showed he had a very high IQ, which I knew, but his learning was primarily auditory. His visual abilities were just barely average. By the time I got The Reader's Edge to him, he had about 3 or 4 weeks to work on it before the next ACT opportunity. He called me from school when he got the results and he was jubilant. His composite score was 34. That was good enough to place him in the second tier of scholarships for college admissions. When he got the actual results, he called me again. His reading score was a perfect 36. I have been in education for 34 years and I have never seen such a dramatic result from any method, curriculum, or practice. I am getting The Reader's Edge for my other grandchildren!

This program really does work. I used to be at 280 and now I'm at 471. I'm definitely improving and this program also helped me to realize that reading is not so bad (because I used to hate doing it). I now love reading and I've already read 5 books.

The critical component of reading, comprehension and recall is lost in most business climates today.... The Reader's Edge is a powerful, easy to use tool no professional seeking success today should be without.
- Brent H., Sales Manager
Leaders are readers! This amazing program can unleash your potential and put you onto the fast track in every area of your life.
- Brian Tracy, Chairman of Brian Tracy International
I installed the program on my home computer last week on Monday. I was anxious to see what it was as the amount of material I need to read for my job has increased tremendously. Yet, the hours in the day haven't. I played around with it for a bit, then took my first reading speed test. I was at 215 words per minute with 97% comprehension. I continued to "play" for about 20 minutes each day last week. The program kept encouraging me to change the combinations and speed. By Saturday afternoon, the test showed I'd increased my reading speed to 600 wpm with 97% comprehension. When I saw that result, I just started laughing. I didn't see it as working on my skills at all - just accepting the challenge of the game. Thank you for all your hard work to make improving this essential skill easy!
- Butch Schulz, Supervisor - BBP Concrete
Overall your program has been extremely beneficial. I started as an above average reader with a reading speed over 300 words per minute. I wasn't sure if this program would be useful, but I went ahead with the purchase because you guaranteed the results and it was recommended by someone who I respect. In less than a week, I'm now reading at over 500 words per minute. This program is the best investment I've ever made.
- David F., Insurance Agent
Thank you very much for the software, I really appreciate your software. It is very useful, especially for me because I read a lot, so thank you again. My feedback for the software is 5 stars.
- Diana H.
I bought The Reader?s Edge one week ago and have been extremely impressed by the progress I have made in my reading speed and comprehension ability. We all know that one of the things that greatly contributes to our personal successes is the knowledge we are acquiring in our particular fields. I have some very lofty goals when it comes to my own personal success, and I strongly feel that the skills I am acquiring through my short daily practices of The Reader?s Edge will contribute greatly to those goals.
- Frank B., Branch Owner - New Future Mortgage
From someone who has software experience - I must say your product is excellent. I am using it to prepare for the LSAT. Whenever someone asks me about 'reading skills' software, I state, 'Yours is the best I've seen!'
- Frank P., Student
I'm totally impressed. I first tested my reading speed on the Literacy Company's website at 250 wpm and a comprehension level in the 170's wpm. After just one week of using The Reader's Edge software for 15 minutes daily, I'm already reading at 350 wpm and have greatly increased my comprehension. I'm no longer having to re-read words and sentences. Thanks Reader's Edge!
- Jamie S., Real Estate Broker
I read a lot! Whether it's continuously reviewing new article contributions to my newsletter or website, or reading for my study of personal development. I can say without a doubt that The Readers Edge has been an absolute blessing to me. I noticed real measurable results in the amount of work I am able to complete, while at the same time seeing a gain in my comprehension of the material I take in. I don't offer my testimonial for just anything, and with that said, I absolutely recommend The Readers Edge for anyone serious about improving the rate at which they read and comprehend things. Be it business related, personal, or both.
- Josh Hinds, President & CEO of GetMotivation.com
I purchased your product and it has changed my ability to read and with the improvement that I have seen my self-image of my ability changed also. My memory is improving, my reading has improved and I expect great things in the future as a result of your product. I am doing the work but your product is drawing the best out of me.
- Karl S.
You guys have one of the best software programs for speed reading. I love your follow-up service too, which is really commendable!!! It tells me that you are committed to give your customers the best service!!! I am really impressed with the makers of the software and the dedication you show towards your customers!!!
- Kaushik V., Product Development Engineer
Thank you for making available The Reader's Edge to CSU! We have found The Reader's Edge software to be a valuable tool for our students who have difficulty meeting time constraints on our standardized exams. The software is an engaging tool that students can use not only for class assignments but for lab practice as well.
- Melody S., Ed. D., Columbus State University
Thank you for your wonderful program. It has improved my 11 year olds reading fluency by three levels (spelling also) and given her the confidence she was so lacking before. She used to hate reading but is proud to be at a level two years ahead of her classmates. What a turn around and a big relief for us parents because competence in reading and comprehending words has an effect on so many areas of learning and life! I recommend your program highly to young and old!
- Mia W., Parent
I am glad I chose your program. There is great variety in your exercises.
- Natalie K., Teacher
The Reader's Edge has done a lot for my comprehension of my business reading. Now, instead of re-reading some materials two or three times, I comprehend with better recall on the first attempt. The Reader's Edge is an important tool in my success!
- Pam P., Insurance Agent
I want to give you my greatest appreciation. I am a foreign student who has only been in the United States for 5 years. When I first came I only knew "Yes, No, and stop", and, although I've learned English over the years, I still am struggling in English, especially reading. I took the wpm test and I had a 140 wpm reading speed, and a 100 wpm reading comprehension. After 30 minutes of practice every day, for about two weeks. I am reading at 608 wpm, with 486 wpm comprehension! This is one of the greatest achievements I've made in my whole entire life! Thank you so much! English is so much easier now. Instead of reading every night for hours, I can finish my work about three times as fast and have more notes and homework done. This is amazing! You've forever changed my life, and the way I see English as a subject.
- Patrick L., High School Freshman
As an attorney, the 'devil is in the details' and The Reader's Edge has given me the edge in preparation for my clients. I can't express how important it has become in my practice.
- Phil S., Attorney
I recently evaluated your program and I must say that nothing else on the market today even comes close to The Reader's Edge. I have just purchased the program and I am very excited about working to become an efficient reader.
- Phillip S., Financial Planner
Recently, in effort to enhance our curriculum, we have researched and tested more than a dozen speed-reading programs. Our goal is to aid our students with their Critical Reading/Reading Comprehension sections of the SAT/ACT/PSAT/GRE/GMAT. After much research, we are happy to say that your program was the BEST among all programs/systems tested.
- Ryan C., Educational Institution
No teacher should be without The Reader's Edge.... It's one of the most powerful, easy to use, software programs I've ever used.
- Sara S., Teacher
Thanks so much! I've been using the program for about two weeks. I can already see some improvements in my reading speed and comprehension. It's a good program and I'm finding it very helpful.
- Scott R., Reporter
Yesterday I purchased your software and I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. It's unbelievable the techniques you have integrated into this software program. I look forward to many hours of fun-filled education that I normally would put off indefinitely.
- Sean T., Financial Services Industry
I really love the fact that The Reader's Edge program tracks my success. I can archive my reading speed and comprehension levels from the very first exercise to the most recent one. It helps me track my impressive gains I've made.
- Ted R., Business Owner
