Comments About Our Target Reading Seminars

Outline for Target Reading
 

Why is this seminar necessary?

Have you ever experienced "Information Overload"?  This occurs when you feel you have too much information to read, and not enough time to read it.  As a result, your brain essentially shuts down your higher-level thinking skills - which reduces your efficiency (which causes you to miss your deadlines, which causes more negative stress, etc.).

As working adults, we must read volumes of complex, poorly structured material under strict deadlines - combine this with family and social obligations and it's understandable why we can feel overwhelmed. 

Fortunately, this seminar will show you how to properly manage your reading assignments through time management, increased reading speed, improved reading comprehension, and the effective application of new information.
 

What will I learn in this seminar?

In this seminar, you will learn how to use your personal thinking style to:

●  Read significantly faster with improved comprehension and retention
●  Manage your time efficiently when reading for work or school
●  Find the key information from a variety of sources (print and web) quickly and easily
●  Take thorough and relevant notes while reading long, complex, or boring material
●  Decipher complex information quickly and thoroughly
 

How is it possible to improve my reading skills in as little as 1 day?

In just one day (9:00am - 4:00pm) w
e will show you how to recognize words and phrases in a way that is common for fast readers.  We will also show you how to use your preferred learning and thinking style to comprehend complex material quickly and accurately.


How is this seminar different from other "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 - you will learn how to adjust your reading speed to match the material.

In fact, by the end of the six-hour seminar you will see a dramatic improvement in your reading speed and comprehension.  As you continue to apply our reading methods, you 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 you how to structure each reading assignment to ensure the pertinent information is “locked” in your head for quick comprehension and fast recall.

To help each you immediately apply this new skill in your current job, you will actually practice our reading strategies on your own work-related (or personally relevant) documents while in the seminar.
