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.

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).
