The 90-Minute Plan

Eliminate Subvocalization0–15 min

Stop 'speaking' words mentally while reading. Use finger to guide eyes. This removes the biggest speed barrier

Expand Eye Span15–35 min

Train eyes to take in 3-5 words per fixation instead of 1. Use margin marker or pointer to guide wider vision arc

Increase Fixation Speed35–55 min

Use pointer to move down page faster, forcing eyes to follow. Start with 2x normal speed. Gradually increase pace

Practice Chunking55–75 min

Pre-read headings and summaries. Recognize word patterns and phrases instead of reading word-by-word. Skim less critical sections

Test Comprehension and Adjust75–90 min

Read passage at new speed, then answer questions. Adjust speed up or down based on material difficulty. Build consistency

Pro Tip

Speed reading works best for non-technical material. Slow down for complex concepts requiring deep comprehension
