SRS Starter Kit: Day One — Open Access
Your complete Day One foundation in speed reading — the baseline test, the diagnostic, the science, and the One-Minute Speed Reading Exercise — delivered free, with nothing held back.
21 years. 19,000+ students.
Day One gives you everything you need to start — and to see your first measurable shift in reading speed today.
Day One gives you four things:
- Your baseline reading speed and comprehension score — measured by a timed reading comprehension test so you know exactly where you are starting from today.
- The 20-Question Reading Habits Self-Assessment — twenty diagnostic questions that reveal which reading habits are helping you and which ones have been quietly holding you back since childhood.
- The full "Unlocking the Benefits of Reading Faster" article — the foundational reading of the Starter Kit, which explains why your reading speed is where it is, what the science says about what is possible, and why the exercise you are about to try works.
- The One-Minute Speed Reading Exercise — the one-minute exercise that has been the starting point for more than 19,000 students over twenty-one years of teaching. You will use it today. You can use it every day after that. The improvement is cumulative.
If you want to go further after Day One — the full SRS Starter Kit is a ten-day guided programme with daily exercises, advanced training techniques, and the comprehension tools that build on everything you start here. But Day One stands on its own. The exercise works. The test gives you a real number. And the number will change if you use the exercise consistently.
