Quantum speed reading (QSR) is a whole new technique for reading books without looking at the pages.It was developed in Japan and has been taught to children there for the last several years. Astonishing as it may seem to most of us who learned only to read books by reading a page at a time, they can, in fact, be read by simply flipping the pages. Unlike the many well-established forms of speed reading that are in existence, QSR does not require the book to be opened at all. The book is simply held up in front of the reader’s face, and the pages are flipped rapidly using the thumb much like when preparing to shuffle playing cards. It is thus a truly a revolutionary advancement in education.
