Speed Reading for College Students

 
Basic Information

Free 1-Hour Speed Reading Workshops
We offer these workshops on college campuses throughout the U.S. and always see great turnouts, in many cases over one hundred students show up for the workshop. Students start by finding out how fast they currently read and usually end the workshop making some kind of improvement. The interactive workshop also provides tips on reading faster on the computer.

Comprehensive 2-day Weekend Classes
Our most comprehensive class. An intensive 10 hours (with breaks of course) of instruction, spanning two days (Saturday & Sunday, 5 hours each day). We work on both speed and comprehension with 40% emphasis on speed and 60% emphasis on comprehension. Why? Because it's not reading unless you understand and remember it.

Students are encouraged to bring their textbooks to this class to apply what they learn right away. A standardized test is given at the beginning and end of the program. The average students completes the weekend reading 3 times faster with a 20% increase in comprehension. Class space limited to 20 students.

Organize a Free 1-Hour Workshop on Your Campus
Would you like to plan an event at our school? If you're a student organization or department, we would be more than happy to help you organize a free speed reading workshop. It can be made available to just your group/department, or the entire campus. Past events at other schools have seen tremendous turnouts with great feedback. Contact us for details to schedule one this semester.

Invite Us to Your Campus
"Many of the students who attended said this was one of the most beneficial 'classes' available to students and they wish they had attended one freshman year. I strongly urge any university to partner with Iris in bringing these workshops to more students!"
