Spreeder is a free speed reading website, all you have to do is copy and paste any text, and then set a rate for words per minute.  It is an effective way to improve your reading speed.

Dr. North has often mentioned Spreeder, and the benefits of using it 10 minutes per day.  I will be honest and say that I ignored his recommendation the first time.  When he recommended it another time I thought to myself “Perhaps I should give this a try.”  I did.  And then for a while I only used it 2-3 times per week.  As I continued the Business 1 course, I began to think more about future orientation.  I thought about the asset this would be to my future, and I picked up the pace.  Now that I have made it a daily habit to use Spreeder, I am becoming a more productive reader.
