"This is an outstanding program. Can't recommend it enough"

Just finished my Super Reader journey as of 2/23/20. Wow, this is an outstanding program. Can't recommend it enough. 
Day 1 - 153 wpm (90% comprehension)
Day 21 - 798 wpm (roughly 80% comprehension, work in progress) 
Major takeaways for me: 
Visual pacer. Simple, but powerful. I use my left index finger now for pretty much any physical book, newsletter, or magazine I read. Kind of fun actually. 
Sub-vocalization. This was a revelation for me. I always thought sub-vocalization was whispering to yourself as you read, but the meaning also includes reading every single word silently in your head, which is how I thought literature should be read my whole life. Whoa - so effective reading is actually looking at groups of words (5, 6, 7 at a time) and instantly knowing what the phrase means without having to spell it out the phrase in your head. 
The 3-2-1 chant in my head as I read helped out in greatly reducing my sub-vocalization. Indentation. 
With the revelation of minimizing sub-vocalization and comprehending groups of words at a time, I imagine two evenly spaced dots and just go back and forth down the page. It greatly increases speed. 
Infinity technique (1 minute) and 4-3-2-1 drills (10 minutes). These are game-changing for me. 
Exercise for the eyes and the brain. Quite uncomfortable in the beginning, especially the 2 and 1-minute drill segments, as I wasn't truly reading, but simply taking in most what I can. 
However, the speed and comprehension drastically improved as a result, so there is a method to the madness here. I plan to do these everyday as part of my morning routine. 
Jim mentioned naturally faster readers were left-handed people, musicians, and women. With all this said, I am left-handed and as of a few short months ago, took up a daily practice of the piano and guitar, so I guess there were certain advantages starting out with the program. 
However, still a highly recommended program. I look to improve further beyond the 21 days. Cheers everyone.
