The Accelerated Reading Tactics IQ Matrix explores how to improve your reading speed, retention, and comprehension of the information you are learning. This mind map provides guidelines on how to make the most of speed reading and PhotoReading. Speed reading involves the process of skimming, chunking, identifying, and filtering specific pieces of information to accelerate your learning ability. PhotoReading, on the other hand, involves a pre-conscious level of awareness that naturally stimulates creativity and rapid information assimilation. It’s a process that encourages non-judgmental learning.
Learning to read at an accelerated and rapid speed utilizing the methods described within this mind map, can dramatically reduce your study time while enhancing your speed of comprehension and assimilation of new information.
Here is a quick breakdown of each branch of the Accelerated Reading Tactics mind map.

This map provides a roadmap and framework for improving your reading speed, retention, and comprehension. Referencing it regularly and committing it to memory will help you to embed these concepts and ideas into your subconscious mind.
A mind map, of course, does this beautifully because it mirrors the synaptic connections made in your brain as you try to establish new habits of thought and behavior. It brings together key concepts and ideas that help your brain to fully integrate and process this information. The brain, subsequently, rewires itself as it attempts to establish new habits of mind. It’s an ideal tool for creating lasting change and transformation.
Stick with these principles, memorize and incorporate them into your daily study regime, and you will progressively accelerate your reading speed, retention, and learning potential.
