    A Visual Pacer is a simple tool, such as your finger or a pen, used to guide your eyes across a page. While many people were taught to avoid this in elementary school, using a pacer is actually a highly effective learning technique. It helps readers move past the standard reading speed of 240 words per minute by providing a physical guide that improves focus and reading efficiency.

    The Sweep Method utilizes a Visual Pacer to help you process information faster and combat the feeling of being overwhelmed by books and reports. By using a finger or pen to lead your eyes, you can see an immediate increase in your reading speed of approximately 20%. This method helps adults update their reading habits to better handle the modern world where information is doubling every few years.

    Most adults still read at the same level they did in second grade, which makes it difficult to keep up with the massive mountain of emails and books we face today. Learning techniques like the Visual Pacer allows you to increase your words per minute and process information more effectively. It turns reading from an overwhelming chore into a manageable task by shattering outdated rules that hold back your reading efficiency.
