ReadSpeeder is a free online speed-reading course and reading training app positioned as “Your Shortcut to Faster Reading.” It emphasizes improving reading speed by strengthening comprehension, rather than simply pushing speed, doing eye exercises, or forcibly stopping subvocalization. The site claims that users who practice for about half an hour a day for 12 days may improve their reading speed and comprehension, but the scraped text did not show any independent studies or third-party validation for this effect.
The core method of the course is “Reading Phrases,” which means breaking sentences into meaningful phrases or “thought-units,” allowing learners to understand one unit of thought at a time instead of reading word by word. ReadSpeeder highlights text by phrase, helping students first focus on understanding these meaning units and then gradually transition to identifying them on their own in regular text. It also emphasizes visualized reading, concentration training, and concept imagery, arguing that the key barriers to slow reading often lie in insufficient attention and a lack of focus on meaning. The platform includes more than 500 books and articles, and it also supports copying and pasting your own text, allowing teachers to choose materials better suited to their students.
The online Speed Reading Course is still listed as 100% free. There is also a companion book, Speed Reading with the Right Brain, priced at $6.99 for the ebook and $19.99 for the paperback. The scraped information did not show any subscription fees, enterprise plans, or certificate charges.
Its advantages are a low free-entry barrier, a clear training philosophy, a rich content library, and the ability to import your own texts, making it suitable for combining training with real reading tasks. Instant feedback and overall performance charts also help users track progress. Its limitations are that it provides limited disclosure about course accreditation, instructor qualifications, customer support, and the details of the learning path. Promotional claims such as “doubling reading speed” should also be viewed with caution. In addition, the content is mainly in English, so for Chinese-speaking users it is more suitable for English reading training.
It is suitable for self-learners who want to improve their English reading speed, concentration, and comprehension, as well as teachers designing phrase-reading exercises for students. It is not suitable for users who need formal certificates, systematic teacher guidance, or a Chinese-language learning environment.
The scraped text did not provide information on access from mainland China. Actual availability should be confirmed through local network testing.
