You strive for your personal best as you try new reading techniques, discovering which techniques work best for YOU. Best of all, you will develop a new confidence in managing your reading workload.
Q: Is this the same as other speed reading programs?
A: This course is a result of 20 years of research, teaching experience, skilled course design and adjustments made from participant feedback. We believe we know what works, and what doesn't, in teaching people how to speed read. The course materials, which include a copy of 10 Days to Faster Reading OR The Complete Idiot's Guide to Speed Reading are well-designed and pertinent for use in the workshop and useful for reference as well. The course is taught by an expert in the field, not just a studied trainer.
Rev It Up Reading teaches faster reading on paper AND on screen as well as overall reading management. You will learn time-tested, proven speed reading techniques like key words, thought or phrase reading, eye discipline, using your hands or card, note making and pre-viewing. We also share simple ideas to help you read on the computer screen, a critical skill for students and professionals who use electronic documents or who work online. In addition to faster reading, you will also learn reading management strategies like reading with purpose, prioritizing your reading workload, and getting rid of piles of unread material. As a result, you will feel more confident in your abilities to read faster.
Q: How much faster will I read after the workshop?
A: That depends on your initial reading speed and the type of reading you do. The average person reads 250 words per minute. By the end of the workshop, many students double, even triple, their reading speed! And this is only the beginning of what you can accomplish with continued use of the strategies. By continuing to use the strategies with your reading, your speed and comprehension will continue to improve in the days and weeks after the workshop. To assist you, we provide materials and follow-up email reminders to reinforce what you learn in the workshop.
Q: What does the live speed reading workshop look like?
A: Our half-day workshop typically consists of four engaging hours of in-class instruction, demonstration, practice exercises, and self-measurement. You also receive a tote bag of valuable educational materials including Abby’s book 10 Days to Faster Reading OR The Complete Idiot's Guide to Speed Reading (tote retail value $35) to use in the program and take home. You will also receive two months of weekly follow-ups by email to reinforce what you have learned. Rev It Up
