Basic Information
Free 1-Hour Speed Reading
Workshops
We
offer these workshops to students at high schools to give teachers and
principals an idea of our approach to helping high school students read
more efficiently. Students start the workshop 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
Classes
This program consists of
multiple days for a total of 8-10 hours of instruction. 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. In many cases, they are able to get some of
their homework done within the sessions. One component of the program
teaches students how to do better on standardized reading exams.
A standardized test is given at the
beginning and end of the program. The average students completes the
program reading 2-3 times faster with a 20% increase in comprehension.
