Effective Speed Reading
What is Speed and Range Reading?
Speed Reading is a way of reading significantly more quickly based on how the eyes and brain work. Range Reading refers to the notion that we can and should adopt different speeds and approaches to reading to reflect the nature of the material and our objectives in reading it.
How would I benefit from attending the course?
Typical reading speed increases are in the range of two to three times the initial reading speed, with good (and usually improved) levels of comprehension. In addition to this dramatic increase in speed, you will also understand how to apply a radically different approach to reading so that your comprehension and eventual retention is much improved. You will also understand by the end of the course how to continue to increase your reading speed after the course!
How will reading faster help me?
This will depend largely on your own objectives and reasons for wanting to read faster. However there are obvious advantages in formal and informal learning, staying informed in your chosen areas of expertise, dealing with memos, reports and e-mails, increasing the amount of leisure time you have etc..
Who are the course trainers?
The trainers for this course have trained with and are licensed by, Tony Buzan. As well as being the originator of Mind Maps he is also one of the world's leading authorities on thinking, learning and creativity. He has over thirty years experience of writing about, teaching and practicing speed reading. All of our trainers use speed reading techniques themselves and are always very happy to discuss any aspect of this and related techniques.
Will the course teach me everything I need to know or will I need further training and/or support?
As with all skills, you will continue to improve after the course only if you practice what you have been taught. This course will teach you all that you need to know to be able to read faster. However, the speed at which you currently read is a very well ingrained habit. Becoming a habitually faster reader will require conscious effort and practice after the course.
