Without giving it a second thought we take literacy – reading and writing, for granted and for good reason. Literacy, on the most part, has been with us so long that most of us don’t even pause to imagine what our world would be like without it.
So much of the work we do today depends on our ability to read, write and communicate at a proficient enough level to express ourselves and our ideas coherently and dynamically. But to formulate our ideas in policy papers, reports, research papers, essays etc. we must do an awful lot of reading to help us with our allotted tasks. So much so that it has now become quite overwhelming.
So the conundrum is how can we go through the ever increasing amount of reading material required to be effective in our work without getting unduly stressed?
What if we could improve our effective reading speed by 200%, 300% even up to 400% and increase our comprehension by that amount as well? Would that make a dramatic impact on our professional and personal lives?
As the volume of materials to read increases every day and the time available to read it all decreases we all get caught in this great conundrum. So what is the solution? Well, one proven solution to the problem is to increase our reading speed.
Join us for a 2 day highly practical, instructor lead workshop that will ensure you leave with the techniques required to be able to read at 3 to 4 times your current speed.
In the amazing workshop you will learn and become familiar with the principles behind accelerated learning and increase your reading and comprehension speed by up to 400%.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Increase the speed of reading while maintaining comprehension
- Learn new study techniques
- Understand the principles of accelerated learning
- Improve your memory recall and comprehension
What You Will Learn:
- The basic ideas which you can use to eliminate your old reading habits and move you toward highly efficient “visual” reading.
- How to train yourself to read vertically, and eliminate slow, unproductive “line reading.”
- To see the big picture in everything you read — you’ll understand the form and organization of the material before you read it.
- Exercises to help you recognize and accept the “visual impressions” in everything you read, and participate in innovative self-tests to sharpen your new skills in visual reading.
How You Will Increase Your Reading Speed
You will learn powerful reading concepts that will enable you to read anything with amazing speed. By using these time-tested methods, you’ll double, triple — and with some practice even quadruple — your current reading speed.
- Discover how natural speed readers cover material 2 to 3 times faster than the average reader.
- Do you silently “sound out” words in your head as you read ? Find out how this common practice impairs your reading speed and comprehension.
- Improve your concentration skills and avoid outside distractions that interfere with reading.
- Gain a vital skill to comprehend what you’re reading as you read it — and stop rereading bits and pieces to improve your comprehension.
- Learn 4 ways to break in books and publications before you begin to read. You’ll increase reading comfort and ease page turning.
- Practice using your hand as a vital reading tool. You’ll learn basic hand motions to help you keep your place and pace.
Improve Your Memory and Recall
Reading at greater speeds doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your recollection. You’ll learn techniques to help you remember and recall specific information, concepts and ideas you’ve read — without referring to your written material!
- Find out how to recall information from material you’ve read — as much or as little as you need.
- Establish a personal “recall pattern” — a logical process that improves your memory skills tremendously.
- Discover how to “preview” material and commit it to memory. You’ll remember more of what you’ve read — with less effort.
