The first ideas about making the reading techniques more effective already appeared in just the beginning of 20th century. Already in this time the traditional methods of reading were not satisfying for people who wanted to get more and more information. The researches in the field of the speed reading techniques were done all around the world, but they were not very famous to the people.
Everything changed in the middle of the century. 1945 the future teacher Evelyn Wood showed her article about speed reading techniques to the professor K. Lees. It was the start of great researches Evelyn made in the field of speed reading. During 2 years she was examining people who read faster than other people. She've found three common characteristics of the way all these people read:
1. Their eyes moved vertically down the page.
2. Thy read the group of the words at once.
3.There was no regression (repeated reading of the same part of text).
As a result of all of these researches the system called Dynamic Reading appeared. Everybody could study speed reading techniques by this system. The first book about Dynamic Reading was published in 1959. The first courses were students could study speed reading techniques were opened in many universities. The co-workers of Kennedy's administration studied in these courses. The speed reading became more and more popular.
By the time new techniques of studying speed reading were built on the basis of Dynamic Reading system. But all of them have in the root the ideas of Evelyn Wood.
