Learning to speed-read becomes rather fun with RocketReader. You can create multiple accounts, with statistics kept and reading levels set for each. The program allows you to change the backgrounds of the various windows. At start-up, you can choose to embark on a 10-, 20-, 40-, or 60-minute guided session, or chart your own course by choosing Custom. Five disciplines promote different methods for improving your reading skills: Flash, Grouping, Speed, Readings, and Memory. You can use your own text files as Readings and create your own comprehension quizzes for Memory tests (consult the Help file for formatting details). The demo offers both regular and Gold versions, the latter of which lets you practice reading from Web sites of your choice. Families with children might particularly benefit from RocketReader, but it makes a nice pick for anyone who needs to hone his or her speed-reading skills.

Pros
Helps masochists 'enjoy' their trends.
Cons
This product may be the last one I choose if left alone on a thorny island for life.
Summary
Excellent program that works!
waterladyMay 19, 2006
Pros
My reading and comprehension skills improved dramatically without my being aware of the change. My vocabulary increased accordingly. This program will give the user lifelong reading skills. However, even though results are seen rapidly the program ideally needs to be used daily to produce long lasting results. Used as recommended the program will astound you.
