Our Mission
At Speed Reading 4 Kids, our mission is to make speed reading as common as basic literacy—a fundamental skill accessible to everyone. We focus on teaching children aged 8 to 14, the ideal age range for mastering speed reading techniques quickly and retaining them for life. By offering structured and interactive speed reading courses, we aim to equip children with the ability to process information faster, retain more knowledge, and perform better academically. Our goal is to integrate speed reading programs into schools and communities, making reading more efficient and enjoyable for young learners.
Our Story
The American Speed Reading Project was founded to address a significant gap in education—the lack of speed reading instruction for children. While adults can access speed reading courses, young readers often lack proper training to enhance their reading comprehension strategies and fluency. Recognizing that children can learn how to speed read faster than adults, Speed Reading 4 Kids was created to provide an easy-to-follow system that enables parents and teachers to guide kids through reading programs designed for long-term success. Our program has helped thousands of students overcome reading and comprehension struggles by introducing fun, engaging lessons and practical reading comprehension book
Our Approach
We combine fun, interactive lessons with research-backed speed reading techniques to enhance speed and reading comprehension. Unlike traditional reading programs, which focus on slow reading and repetitive drills, our system encourages children to read in chunks, recognize word patterns, and reduce subvocalization—key skills that increase their normal reading speed while improving comprehension. Whether a child needs a reading program for dyslexia, a specialized ADHD reading program, or wants to boost their average speed reading, Speed Reading 4 Kids offers a structured path to success.
