Fast Improvement & Fun


We purchased AceReader less than a month ago because my 16-year-old daughter needed to improve her reading speed and comprehension. After she had used the program once, she came to me just bursting with excitement about it. She said, "It is not at all
what I expected" and "It's fun" and "I think it's really going to help." In one lesson, her reading speed had jumped from 130 to 199 words per minute (wpm). Now, she has been using the program for about 3 weeks and tells me that her speed is 273 wpm. She reports
that her reading speed has increased noticeably in actual books and not only when she is using the AceReader program. My other (younger) children have been using the program, too, and they all like it and feel that they have improved. Furthermore, the support
from the company when we had a problem running the program and again when we needed help loading a book into the program has been exceptional, fast, and complete. We are very impressed with AceReader and highly recommend it to anyone who needs or wants to
increase reading speed & comprehension.

Only Gets Better


We have used Ace Reader in our homeschool (6 children using the product) since August 2012. The things I have noticed: My good readers became amazing! I regularly get comments from other adults on their stunning reading ability. My struggling Dyslexic
reader became an increasingly competent reader when using the program consistently; when we don't use it for a while, his reading deteriorated some, so it is now a steady part of his schooling. My special needs son had some success with it. I love the time
this frees for me. My children get quality reading practice without my needing to sit through it with each of them! Maybe I can use that free time to improve my own reading speed. :) My husband likes the features that allow him to read work related material
with the software. I bought the software for school, but a really I appreciate the amazing customer service. It was actually the reviews on customer service that I originally saw that become the deciding factor in purchasing this software vrs others, and they
indeed were great to work with them. I called recently wanting an additional activation to move the program from one old computer to a new computer. Almost immediately I was speaking with a knowledgable person willing and able to help. Because they had record
of my purchase directly from them, they upgraded me to the Elite and gave me additional activations for the older version (deluxe pro) for free. Go to their site. I assume they still offer the free demo. Try it for yourself.

A blessing for homeschoolers


I'm a homeschooler with six kids and we have been using ACE READER for over three years and it's the best product out there. I've tried one other highly ranked course but, It didn't have the structure you need to teach kids. I put it on course mode and
locked all the changes out. Ace Reader didn't let the kids wonder around the program and waste time. It kept them on track and learning. I had them practice 20 to 30 minutes a day and at times they said it was too hard but, with prizes for reaching goals and
a meter that shows the percentage of the course they completed they started to push themselves. Also you can check their grades and progress. Now three years later the older three boys have more than tripled their speed, the oldest is now 15. One thing I really
liked about it are the tests. The kids read about American history, Earth and Space Science, Famous People, SAT Questions and more! Practicing to read fast and learning something educational, that's awesome! as my kids would say. One of my son's has actually
finished the course mode. I gave him The freedom to set things up the way he likes to learn which the menu and reading mode will let you do. It's a very flexible program letting you have control over almost everything. I used the older program and when I needed
support I was happy that they called me right back the next day. I talked to a tech who knew everything about the program. He not only fixed the problem he updated it. Again, Awesome! But, the greatest thing is the love of reading it has given to my children.
They consume book after book and the librarians know my family. For every homeschooler this is the best investment for your child I have found and for others you can mold it to what best suits you. Thank you. Jim Sherey Dallas Tx.

Excellent customer support


Our children have been using AceReader for about a month and have shown noticeable improvement. However, what surprised us is the outstanding customer support! When we had questions on installation, Bernie went the extra mile to make sure everything worked
correctly and took the time to explain the program to us so we could maximize it's use. All too often, when we buy software, we're left on our own or have to turn to support blogs to troubleshoot issues. When we finally connect with someone in customer support,
the experience can be pretty frustrating. Not so with AceReader! What a great experience! We would recommend AceReader on customer support alone, but it's a wonderful teaching tool as well!

AceReader is a great programl


I first began using AceReader a number of years ago. Through using the program, I comprehended more of what I read and read more quickly. I was able to concentrate more fully when reading. This concentration actually expanded to other areas of my life. I also enjoyed reading more when I read faster. In December of 2009, I had a stroke. I couldn’t read for quite a number of months. When I did start reading, it was very slow. Then I started using AceReader again. My concentration and mental functioning are improving. I can remember and understand what I read much better. My reading speed is increasing. I find AceReader to be fun, easy to use and very beneficial. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to improve their reading and more.

AceReader Changed my life!


"I have been using AceReader for years now and am still enjoying it immensely! All throughout my life,I was never a good reader. Ever since I was in grade school I had difficulty reading. Some doctors diagnosed me with dyslexia while others just said that my lack of interest was what was causing my reading issues. To an extent, they were all right. But, my lack of interest was do to the fact that I never really learned the correct way to read. My eyes were not trained properly and therefore, I would skip back and forth all over the page. A downward spiral took effect from elementary school to junior high and then into high school and so on. It had a huge effect on my education. I began falling behind in all subjects and was being pushed into remedial courses. I barley graduated high school and squeezed my way into a community college. But, it wasn't long before I quit because of the embarrassing classes I had to take. I felt stupid, and never understood what the catalyst was that propelled me into a below average student. I always knew that I was a smarter person than that and so did my friends and family. After years of torcher and a burning desire to read better, I did some research online. That is when I found AceReader. I was skeptical about a program that would turn me into a speed reader. However, I was willing to try anything. So I bought it and began using it everyday for only 15 minutes. I wasn't shocked to find out that I had the reading speed of a 5th grader at 175wpm. What I was not expecting was that after just day 2, it jumped to over 280 wpm. That might not seem like much, but 280 wpm is the average college level reading rate. Now, that felt great! A college level rate already and it didn't seem like I really did much! I continued to use the program for months and now years. My speed went from 175wpm to 853 wpm!! I have learned how to read faster then my wife and she is a lawyer with excellent reading skills. Our shelves are filled with books! I never thought I would have library with hundreds of books that I actually read and some more then once for fun! My comprehension sky rocketed as well. I am now almost 32 years old and feel like a person who should be reading above average... which I now am! Recently, I enrolled into college and I have a 4.0gpa. I go back to the AceReader program every week or so to keep training my brain just as I would go jogging to train for a marathon. I cannot say enough great things about how AceReader has changed my life!"

Fantastic Application


After grasping the concepts of speed reading and understanding the habits to break, I needed a comprehensive way to train my mind to speed read in a way where I can monitor tangible results to see if I was making any progress. Ace Reader provided me not only with the tools to test my speed and comprehension, but also comes with an array of exercises and drills that are neatly packaged in set course that I just simply need to follow. Happy to say I’ve made substantial progress! Thank you!

Ace Reader --Recommended!!!


I read voraciously everyday --books, articles, essays, news, both digital and hard copy. The Ace Reader program has significantly increased my reading speed and retention. As an educator reading proficiency is not just a concern for my students, but also for myself and my staff. Ace Reader is a valuable tool for educational professionals who want to keep up with the wealth of new information available everyday. Highly Recommended!

AceReader is great!


We have had reading difficulties with 5 of my children and purchased Ace Reader Pro Deluxe to help with reading speed of those who were fluent readers, but slow. At about the time of our purchase, we found out that all 5 children had some vision issues, so we set the program aside. In the interim years, we found these five children all needed the help of a developmental optometrist. We then used Ace Reader as a supplement to their vision therapy and their reading speeds have soared! They have graduated from vision therapy, and are still using Ace Reader to increase their reading speeds even further and stay sharp. Ace Reader’s customer service has been wonderful – always helping us stay up-to-date and use the program to its fullest. Thank you for a great program with excellent customer service!

AceReader is the Best in the Market


I bought AceReader for the purpose of helping me improve my ACT score. To put it lightly, I am extremely impressed. A few years back I started the eyeQ program which I found helpful, but at a steep price of over $250. I have found that the eyeQ program is not only much more expensive than AceReader, but it also lacks features that AceReader has. They both have eye exercises, but AceReader also includes some great games that have helped me speed up the amount of time I spend focusing on blocks of text. The program is well organized with comprehension tests, drills and games. The tests are interesting and fun to read. I especially like using the expert mode since it allows me train with my own material and includes many options. What inspired me to write this review is their customer support. I called with a question and they were very helpful. I really like the program and I appreciate the support. I have already recommended AceReader to some of my friends. Hands down, AceReader is the best Speed Reading program that I have seen on the market.

Great product and customer service


I’ve been using AceReader Pro Deluxe since 2009. I had an activation issue after installing AceReader Pro Deluxe on a new laptop in May 2012. I emailed customer support for help. For many companies, emailing customer support is about as fun as a root canal or income taxes. However, within two hours of emailing AceReader I had a response and was back up and running. They have a great product and awesome customer service. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Amazing product!


I used to avoid reading because I was so slow at it, my grades were suffering and I felt like there was nothing I could do about it. Though I would try to read my mind was somewhere else and I would have to go back and re-read. It would take me so long that I would get tired and completely give up. Thanks to Ace Reader, I have fun practicing and my reading has tripled! I can do my homework in a reasonable amount of time and go back to practicing! The customer service had lightning fast response with answers to any questions I had. I am so impressed with this product that I have shared copies with other family members in my home since they allow that when you purchase from them. I went from 175wpm to 600wpm in a very short time. I will continue to practice and recommend this program to everyone! I can't thank Ace Reader enough!

Ace Reader Pro Deluxe is a great program to help increase your reading speed and comprehension. I looked at many different programs before selecting Ace Reader. It has helped my children increase their reading speed and comprehension. It used to be painful to listen to my sons read out loud. After using Ace Reader, they now read out loud with ease. I still have my 8th grader work on Ace Reader for a half hour per day.

I use Ace Reader to help increase my reading speed. It really works. Whether you are looking to increase your own reading speed and comprehension or to help your children excel, I would highly recommend investing in Ace Reader, you’ll receive a great return on your investment. (The customer service is a 10 – always prompt, courteous and helpful). Don’t delay, buy today!

Best of Health

Last year we bought ACE Reader to help improve reading speed and comprehension. My children, age 15, 13 and 12 all used the program. Each one enjoyed the exercises and saw great improvement in their reading speed and comprehension. They also enjoyed the program and did it without any "reminders" from mom (a bonus for any program). I would highly recommend this program for any family looking to improve reading skills. This year they were excited to do the program again and we discovered we had cracked the disc. The customer service was prompt and very helpful. With just an email they are sending me a downloadable version to replace my broken disc. I appreciate buying products from a company with such helpful customer service. I am looking forward to trying their new add-ons for this program. Lori From Wisconsin.

I have been using AceReader for the last 5 years and really love the product! Their latest version makes significant improvements over prior iterations and has made a big difference for me. My work requires enormous amounts of reading and it has been great to have a tool that allows me to grow my reading skills and make me more efficient at the office. In addition to a great product, their customer service is remarkable! In an age of dial directories, voice recognition routing, their customer service is provided by a live person who genuinely cares about your experience and how the product is making a difference in your life.
