Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is passionate about speed reading, there are several thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance his skills and make his reading experience even more enjoyable. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Speed Reading Course: Consider enrolling your son in an online speed reading course. There are many reputable platforms that offer comprehensive programs designed to improve reading speed and comprehension. This gift will not only enable him to further develop his skills but also provide him with valuable strategies to read and process information more efficiently.

2. E-reader: An e-reader could be an excellent gift for a speed reading enthusiast. With an e-reader, your son can easily access a wide range of books and articles, allowing him to practice speed reading wherever he goes. Look for a device with features like adjustable font size, high-resolution display, and a bookmarking option – all of which can enhance the reading experience.

3. Personalized Reading Tracker: Help your son keep track of his progress and set new reading goals with a personalized reading tracker. You can create one yourself or find printable versions online. Include spaces for recording book titles, reading speeds, and personal notes so he can monitor his growth and see how far he has come on his speed reading journey.

4. Bookstore Gift Card: Inspire your son to further explore his passion by giving him a gift card to a local bookstore or an online platform like Amazon. This way, he can choose books that align with his interests while having the freedom to pick up various genres and authors. A diverse reading range will not only enhance his speed reading skills but also broaden his knowledge and imagination.

5. Subscription to Audiobooks: Audiobooks can be a valuable addition to your son's reading routine. Consider gifting him a subscription to an audiobook service like Audible, where he can find a vast collection of titles to enjoy. By listening to audiobooks, he can practice speed listening, further improving his ability to absorb information at a quicker pace.

6. Speed Reader App: Explore different speed reading apps available for smartphones or tablets. These apps employ techniques like RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) to display words one at a time, helping users read faster. Look for apps with adjustable speeds and compatibility with various file formats, allowing your son to practice speed reading with his favorite e-books or articles.

7. Ergonomic Reading Accessories: Optimize your son's reading experience by providing him with ergonomic reading accessories. Consider getting him a comfortable reading chair, a reading lamp with adjustable light settings, or even a special bookstand that allows for hands-free reading. These thoughtful additions will contribute to his overall comfort and enjoyment while immersed in the world of speed reading.

Remember, the most meaningful gift for a speed reading enthusiast is support and encouragement. Show interest in his progress, discuss books and articles, and engage in conversations about his favorite authors or genre. Your involvement will not only strengthen your bond but also motivate him to continue pursuing his passion for speed reading.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
