Welcome!
It's Time to Stop Falling Asleep While You Read!
Based in
Seattle, the Center for Lifelong Learning offers state-of-the-art
programs to teach speed reading and other workshops to supercharge your
learning and your career. Our signature 2-day workshop is
designed to
bring
your learning skills into alignment with the way your mind was meant to
gather information.
Brain research has proven that our minds are
capable of taking information in at the rate of tens of thousands of
words per minute, yet the average college graduate reads easy material
at 250 words per minute at barely 70 percent comprehension.
For tough material, the average college grad slows down to barely 100 words per minute at 50 percent comprehension.
Have you found that you get sleepy when you read? Does your mind wander and do you lose your place? Do you often find that you can't remember what you have just read? Most people experience these problems and it results in diminished performance at work, school, and lack of enjoyment of reading and learning in general.
And it is all because your brain is bored to tears with the way you currently read and learn!
Students and public (7th grade on up)
50 percent of those who start college NEVER FINISH, largly due to poor literacy skills and not being able to keep up. Employers today insist you be able to assimilate vast amounts of information.
Imagine reading all your school texts in the first few days of class and then being able to effectively study them in a fraction of the time. Learn techniques for writing superior essays, research papers, or dissertations and how to improve your writing dramatically. Be a super performer at work. Always be prepared for meetings and outshine your competition.Corporate Professional

We think this program is important. In today's world, after the economic challenges are behind us, what new world will our workforce be faced with? In past recovery periods, businesses remade themselves with leaner processes, administrative procedures, and manufacturing, the new workforce that emerges today will have a different challenge - information processing.
Imagine spending a fraction of the time you now do in research, keeping up in your field, managing your inbox, and writing reports. Why struggle when a 2-day program gives you speed reading and power learning techniques to turn you and your sttaff into star performers spending 1/3 the time on tasks?

Development
Imagine spending a fraction of the time you now do on grading papers, designing high quality lesson plans, and keeping up in your field. Imagine at least tripling your reading speed and doubling your memory - for life.
At the end of the 2- day Speed Reading workshop and practice program, you will have the skills to:
a) Read three to six books, articles and reports in the time
it takes
others to read only one today.
b) Improve your comprehension, your concentration for test-taking and
learning, and your long-term memory.
Our workshops can greatly enhance personal growth and confidence in school and career. These permanent learning skills help you keep up with the flood of new information, overcome stress, help ace exams, and give you the competitive edge in your teaching career.
