Q. Does
comprehension go down when reading speed is increased?
No.
Studies have repeatedly shown that students with faster reading rates
almost always have a better understanding of the material.
This is
because faster readers have better focus and are therefore able to
understand the material better.

Iris Reading Program work?
The
program focuses on breaking old reading habits and replacing them with
more effective techniques.
