Using a Visual Pacer to Boost Reading Speed and Comprehension

One effective brain hack to improve reading speed and comprehension is using a visual pacer. Underlining the words with a pen, finger, or mouse while reading boosts reading speed by 25-50% and improves focus and comprehension. Using a visual pacer helps maintain focus, as our eyes are naturally drawn to motion, and it creates a kinesthetic connection that helps us feel more in touch with what we're reading. Incorporating a visual pacer into your reading routine can lead to significant improvements in both speed and understanding.
