For two recent post how to build it and see it working in stages and falling back into traditional reading speeds.

This will help both. There is a test you can try on page 76 of the book. Get yourself a book that's you are interested in but haven't read. 200 to 250 pages. With traditional reading, most people will take 10 to 12 hours to read a book that size some will manage it in 2. Do the 5 day test on this book. I suggest you reduce the time to 20-minutes and add a another activation layer before considering rapid reading. So it makes it a 6 day test which you could do in one day. Just take a break after each 20 minutes.

It's an effective way of seeing how comprehension is built in layers. And you get the same or even better comprehension in that 2 hours as 6 to 12 hours of traditional reading. Beginners often make the mistake of giving up too soon.
