An SMI training pathway combining fast reading, mental comprehension, vocabulary and memory through structured rounds and visible mastery measurement.

SESSION STRUCTURE

The first 30 minutes follow a fixed rhythm.

The system creates a measurable daily rhythm: reading, vocabulary, then a second vocabulary round to improve recall and mastery.

10 MINSilent / fast reading

Focused reading with performance logging for comparison.

10 MINVocabulary — Round 1

Recall and pronunciation practice with mastery measurement.

10 MINVocabulary — Round 2

A second round to increase speed and correct previous errors.

MENTAL PROGRESSION

Three stages, each one raising the target.

Barriers are structured transition points that make learner progress visible to both student and supervisor.

BARRIERS 1–3Mental Preparation

Build speed, focus and break the first barriers.

BARRIERS 4–6Advanced Memory

Improve retention, recall and comprehension capacity.

BARRIERS 7–10Mental Elite

Reach the highest pathway targets and mastery levels.

BARRIER MAP

Barrier targets rise from 10 to 100 words per round.

Each transition increases the round target progressively rather than jumping to a large number immediately.

VOCABULARY SYSTEM

Six levels, 6,000 training words.

Vocabulary spans A1 through C2 with around 1,000 words per level, focused on pronunciation, recall and true mastery.

LevelWordsGoal
A11000Progressive recall and mastery
A21000Progressive recall and mastery
B11000Progressive recall and mastery
B21000Progressive recall and mastery
C11000Progressive recall and mastery
C21000Progressive recall and mastery
Measurement rule: Each pronunciation, spelling or meaning-recall error reduces mastery so the result reflects actual performance, not just exposure.

Turn reading and vocabulary into metrics you can improve.

Start from your current level and log each round so progress becomes visible.
