Okay, so you read somewhere that US President John F. Kennedy was an expert at “speed-reading”, and now you want to emulate the great man by doing the same. Why? Because it is obvious to you that being able to read faster must be such a rewarding thing to do. If it helped make JFK great, then why not you?
But of all the speed-reading tutorials out there which is the best to go for? Two of the best unquestionably are Ace Reader, and 7 Speed Reading. Why are they the best? Because they are easily two of the most comprehensive, and far-ranging available.
To be honest, there doesn’t seem to be much to choose between them. Both are highly advanced, and based on scientific study to ensure the exercises are up-to-date, and based on current research, and development. Both programs highlight the areas to be covered succinctly, and briefly, and give a full summary of aspects such as Subvocalization, Regression, Fixation, Comprehension, and Memory.
However, there are differences in some key areas that may influence the potential speed-reading student-buyer. One of these is when making a first visit to the respective websites. By far the easiest to read, with little fuss is the 7 Speed Reading site. You get all the information you need with just one page, whereas AceReader takes you on a rather jumbled journey over various pages that becomes a little mind-boggling at times. The choice of language is different too, which may affect the overall decision would-be buyers make. AceReader Pro uses a lot of high-tech words, and phrases that aren’t always easy to understand, whereas 7 Speed Reading is a more straight-forward read. This is important, as it may be an indication of how easy the actual programs will be to understand.
Another difference is the emphasis on learning. 7 Speed Reading is keen to highlight its user-friendly, Step-By-Step module approach, and personalized guidance from its expert instructors. With 7 Speed Reading you get a much better idea of how you are going to be taught, and that you will receive the best attention. You don’t get that confidence with AceReader.
There is also a big difference when it comes to the content the student will be buying. With 7 Speed Reading you get everything you need to know, and study to become a speed-reader all within the one package. AceReader however are offering two packages – AceReader Pro gives you only a certain amount, and you need to buy AceReader Deluxe to get the same content as 7 Speed Reading. This is reflected in the pricing. AceReader Pro is $69.95, and the Deluxe edition is $99.95. You also have to buy “add-ons” at $20 a pop.
7 Speed Reading is a one-price, all inclusive package at $67.
Ultimately, AceReader Pro and 7 Speed Reading do the same thing – only one does it more simply than the other. This reviewer suspects that if JFK were around today he would be choosing the simpler, and more comprehensive system supplied by 7 Speed Reading.
