The best-known educator of the 20th century was a scammer in cashmere. “The most famous reading teacher in the world,” as television hosts introduced her, Evelyn Wood had little classroom experience, no degrees in reading instruction, and a background that included a collaboration with the Third Reich. Nevertheless, a nation spooked by Sputnik and panicked by paperwork eagerly embraced her promises of a speed-reading revolution.
Journalists, lawmakers, and two US presidents lent credibility to Wood’s claims of turbocharging reading speeds. A royal-born Wood grad said she’d polished off Moby Dick in three hours; a senator swore he finished one book per lunchtime. Fudging test results and squelching critics, Wood’s popularity endured even as science proved that her system taught only skimming, with disastrous effects on comprehension. As apps and online courses attempt to spark a speed-reading revival, this engaging look at Wood’s rise from missionary to marketer exposes the pitfalls of wishful thinking.

“Polished off Moby Dick in three hours?” Is that some kind of tantric thing? The Sting in the tale, no doubt…

Thanks for sharing this one.
I tried to study speed reading before but thought It’d take me years of practice before I could soak up books super fast & with good comprehension.

I seem to remember a SNL skit about “spdrdn”.

Youve been taught the worst way to read, and you attack attempts at teaching the right way. How sad to live in a pathetic statists miserable limited existence, everything in hard mode because you trustedbyour demon god the establishment
