How
is your seminar different from "speed reading" programs?
Difference #1
-
Reading Speed
This is not a gimmick course. Many "speed
reading" programs will show you how to "view"
5,000 words per minute or faster, which is useful
for researching or reviewing material, but it
is not reading - it is scanning.
To read beyond 1,000 words per minute requires
you to skip words; when you skip words, you
lose comprehension.
As you know, simply having a general understanding
of the reading material is not always sufficient.
Technical materials, for example, require a
slower, more comprehensive reading approach
during certain sections. Our reading methods
actually work like a car accelerator pedal -
your employees will learn how to adjust their
reading speed to match the material.
In fact, by the end of this seminar your employees
will see a dramatic improvement in their reading
speed and comprehension. As they continue
to apply our reading methods, they should be
able to exceed 5,000 words per minute for "light"
reading or research work, and 600 words per
minute for more challenging material.
NOTE: The average reading speed for adults
is 250 words per minute.

Difference #2
-
Reading Comprehension
A fast reading speed improves efficiency only
if the reader comprehends the material the first
time through. Therefore, this seminar
involves a heavy focus on reading comprehension.
We will show your employees how to structure
each reading assignment to ensure the pertinent
information is “locked” in their head for quick
comprehension and fast recall.
To help each participant immediately apply this
new skill in their current job, they will actually
practice our reading strategies on their own
work-related documents (while in the seminar).
