The
way you learned to read in elementary school is not the way your brain
wants to learn and it limits you to 100 - 300 or so words per minute
with poor comprehension while
losing your place and getting sleepy. You could be reading
thousands of words per minute and be excited and engaged in your
reading and learning. Let go of those old habits in thisone-day workshop.
At the end of the 1 day Speed Reading workshop and 21-day practice program:
a) Read three to
six books, articles and reports in the time
it takes
others to read only one.
b) Significantly improve your
comprehension, your concentration for test-taking and
learning, and your long-term memory.
c) Have a system for taking amazing notes that will make you a master
learner.
For those of you who have taken the one day speed reading workshop and have been practicing for at least 4 months, this practice session will hone your skills and help you either stay on track or get back on it.
In this workshop we will review the triple reading process, practice its elements, and apply them to a variety of printed works. Bring your reading materials. We will also practice the notetaking method and learn how to apply it to your research as well as your reading, so bring a notebook.
YOU MUST HAVE TAKEN THE ONE-DAY WORKSHOP TO TAKE THIS CLASS.
