Good questions
Let's find your
starting point.
A few things to know before you choose your training.
Ask us a questionWhich course should I start with?
The Speed Reading Foundation Course is the starting point for beginners. Choose the Core Course Bundle if you want the full three-level sequence through Mastery and Advanced Comprehension & Memory. You can also choose a focused course for a specific goal, such as note-taking or productivity.
What will I learn in a speed reading course?
You will practice techniques for pacing, concentration, previewing and navigating written material. Comprehension and retention are part of the training, helping you choose an approach that fits what you are reading and why.
Will I still understand what I read?
The goal is to read with more control. Difficult or unfamiliar material often needs a slower pace and closer attention. Iris Reading teaches you to adjust your approach to the task, while practicing strategies for understanding and recall.
How do the online courses work?
Our self-paced online courses combine recorded instruction with practical exercises. You can pause, replay and revisit lessons with lifetime access. Explore the course catalog to compare individual programs and bundles.
Can I use these techniques with digital material?
Yes. You can apply the principles to articles, PDFs, reports, eBooks and other digital material. Your approach will vary with the layout, scrolling and purpose of your reading.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Guided exercises give you a chance to try a different approach during your training. Lasting improvement depends on your starting habits, the material and continued practice. We encourage you to use the techniques regularly in your own reading.
Can you customize a workshop for our reading material?
Yes. Iris Reading customizes on-site and live virtual workshops for companies, schools, universities, associations and other groups. We tailor examples and exercises to the material your participants need to read, including academic research, reports, proposals, case studies and technical documents.
