The RocketReader reading program has probably doubled my reading speed. That is still not saying much because I was a very slow reader to start with even though I have a B.A. and M.S. university degree and worked more than 35 years in public education. I think I have always been kind of a "lazy reader" not concentrating or pushing myself to read more quickly. As a result I would get bored, fall asleep or just avoid reading preferring to watch TV or do something else.

The RocketReader forces me to focus my attention and push myself to read faster. As a result I have been reading more and I don't view reading as such a burden. I feel good that at the ripe old age of 63 I have been able to continue to increase my reading skills and continue learning. Thank you very much for your program
