Spreeder: teach pupils (or yourself) to speed read

I came across SPREEDER via @Documentally on twitter.

It strikes me as an excellent tool to get pupils reading large quantities as well as helping them to learn to speed read it may well be great for learning. People often complain reading on screen is a chore and many people print long documents to read hardcopy.

A comprehension test of any content would be well served in all subjects by this delivering the text via spreedr. Just drag the bookmarklet into the links on your browser, select the text and click to start. Or, copy and paste the text into the spreedr window.

In class, this could spark an element of competition which may help improve pupils productivity. It certainly helps me read a lot faster.

Have a go and let me know what you think.
