A method and system for enhancing reading skills whereby readers can improve both reading speed and comprehension. This novel teaching method and system associatively combines input to visual, tactile, and auditory senses. The reader is trained to conceptualize the meaning of words directly from symbols rather than from symbols and related sounds by causing the eyes to scan text more rapidly than both symbols and related sounds can be assimilated. The eyes are prompted to follow a rapidly moving finger induced to rhythmically move back-and-forth across the text at rapidly driven rates by an auditory beat. Different auditory inputs are provided to each ear, such that each hemisphere of the brain predominately receives signals which are related to its primary function. For example, rhythmic beats to induce higher reading rates are addressed to the left hemisphere of the brain which governs spatial relations, time, and rhythm. At the same time, subliminal motivational messages are addressed to the right hemisphere of the brain which interprets creative expression. Background music and other soothing sounds are added to the auditory input to block aural interference and create a better learning environment.

A method which associatively stimulates a reader\s senses comprising auditory, visual, and tactile to increase reading speed and comprehension, said method comprising the steps of: causing the reader to ingest reading material as his finger travels across a page; providing a reader-training prerecorded stereophonic audio recording which comprises two separate and independent channels of prerecorded signals, the prerecorded signals collectively comprising reading-rate-setting signals, subliminal affirmation signals, and aural interference reduction signals; delivering the reading-rate-setting signals to only one ear and thence directly to one hemisphere of the brain of the reader to stimulate and focus rapid reader eye movement in conjunction with rapid tactile scanning of sequential lines of print on a page of written material at rates which suppress the tendency for subvocalization of individual words; delivering the subliminal affirmation signals predominately related to the spoken word to one ear only and thence directly to one hemisphere of the brain; delivering aural interference reduction signals to both ears and of the reader to reduce the detrimental effect of external noise.
