Acceleread review

Acceleread is built for people who want a training routine. You take a free reading test to get your words per minute, receive a plan and then train for about 10 minutes a day along a game-style level path with goals, streaks and reminders. Its six drills each target a habit: Word Flash paces one word at a time to stop backtracking, the Schulte Table number grid widens visual span, Hopscotch trains forward eye movement, Column and Diamond Highlighters guide your eyes and sharpen focus, and Sight Stretcher works on peripheral vision. Comprehension checks run alongside, and a built-in library lets you practice on real books. The developer says most readers reach up to 3x faster in as little as 2 weeks, measured by in-app assessments, so read that as a vendor claim. On the US App Store Premium is $8.99 a week, $12.99 a month or $17.99 for 3 months. The app is new and has few ratings, which makes track record hard to judge.
