Speed reading course

How fast do you read?
It is suggested that most people read between 150- 250 words per minute. That is less than a page per minute. The average comprehension is of what we read is only 50%. Then we tend to forget almost 90% of what you have read within 48 hours. What is worse, the older you get the less you remember. The reason is because we are only using the short term memory when we read normally.

There are a number of reasons why we don’t normally read faster which include sub vocalise and regression to name a couple.

During our school years we are taught to read, but around the age of 12 we don’t learn any new reading skills. During the speed reading training you will learn a number of new techniques to improve your reading speed.

Combining information and techniques of many years of research, from many pioneers in reading techniques, we have a set of techniques to enhance your reading speed and comprehension quickly and easily. Then the more you practice, the better you will get.
If the average person reads 250 words per minute, then a 200 hundred page book would take around 7 hours to read. (Assuming there were 500 words per page.)
If you were able to read at 1000 words/ minute it would take around 1 hour 45 minutes.
At 3000 words per minute you could read that same book in around 35 minutes.

I think you would agree that is quite a big difference from the 7 hours it takes with traditional reading. Now imagine having 20 books to read for a research project or for studying. Saving 6 hours per book would equate to 120 hours or 5 days saved. So learning speed reading can save you time and allow you to get through more materials. Especially if you consider the amount of information we are bombarded with nowadays.
