Technology is increasingly being used to shape the way we learn, from programs such as Baby Einstein (which is apparently bull#$*%) to Your Baby Can Read (which involves much more advanced brain development skills of which we do not know the consequences yet of screwing with for later in life of the child).
However, something that was mentioned to me was Spreeder, an online program for adults to develop their speed reading skills through identifying the shape of the word as opposed to having to sound it out or say it in one's head, which I do myself. It looks legit as well as promising, and even if it is not, you can still enter your own text into it and get some needed school reading out of the way regardless : )
It allows you to enter your own text, choose your words-per-minute as well as goals and so on. If anyone tries it out, let me know how it works for you.
