Everything You Wanted to Know

What is speedreading?

Speedreading is a way of reading faster and understanding more by training the eyes to see more at once and the brain to process ideas and concepts instead of individual words.

Does it work?

Thousands of people that we have taught for over 30 years think so! And we have hard data of their before and after testing as well as many testimonials to prove it.

How fast is the average reader?

The beginning reading speed is 210 words per minute with ranges from barely 100 words per minute to well over 400.

How fast can your graduates read?

The average ending speeds are about 1000-1500 words per minute with equal or better comprehension.

What about comprehension?

The comprehension for the average or below-average reader goes up. Those who already have excellent comprehension will just increase speed while maintaining high comprehension. Our brains can process information as quickly as the images change on a movie. Most people read at the speed of speech or slower; causing boredom and mind wandering. Increasing speed decreases mind wandering and increases comprehension.

How are you different from other speedreading courses?

We believe that using the hand is a crutch and covers up the page. We teach eye movements using peripheral vision to see more of the page at once. These techniques work well on computer screens and printed materials. We have small, individualized classes. Like accelerated learning, we teach our students to use their whole brain, and to trust their subconscious. Unlike accelerated learning, we also teach reading strategies for absorbing different kinds of materials.

If I learn to speedread, do I have to read everything that way?

We simply give you additional tools to choose from when you read. We do not take away any method of reading that you already like. You can choose what reading tools to use depending on your purpose and the nature of the material.

What kinds of things can I speedread?

We teach strategies for every kind of reading. We show how to instantly pinpoint just what you need to read, how to read general information 3 to 5 times faster, and a system for mastering detailed information that even includes a note taking method for future use.

Who usually takes speedreading?

The only common denominator we have found is that it is usually someone who is preparing for the next step – getting ready for an entrance exam, a professional exam, a new phase of education or career. We get excellent readers who want the competitive edge and the poorer readers who need more ability and/or confidence to achieve their education or career goals.

Do you offer any courses on the Internet?

We do not. We feel that learning to speedread requires you to dramatically change a lifetime habit. To change a lifetime habit requires a good coach. The best way to have a good coach is in a personally taught class. We are good coaches.

Quote From Past Participants:

"Bonnie I would like to thank you for a great class. We flew in from Albuquerque on a snowy, cold weekend and had an intensive round of lessons in speed reading. We had scheduled representatives from our company for your condensed course. It is very hard to teach people in a matter of days what is normally taught in weeks but you did. We all gained a lot. Most were amazed when their reading speed went up yet, what was more amazing was the comprehension went through the roof. " - Real Estate Services, New Mexico

"For the first time in many years, I’ve actually looked at a magazine or a stack of articles and noticed that I want to read them! It’s no longer an arduous chore, but a joy to be on the quest for knowledge. Thanks again for what you’ve done for me and for my team. You’ve made a memorable contribution to our personal and professional growth." - Global Logistics Engineering Manager, Lucent Technologies

"I learned a lot from this course. I can see immediate applications for the overview, preview, read, re-read techniques—the whole layering process. I cannot wait to tackle some of the reading I have been putting aside. I know the information I learned in this course will greatly assist me in my personal and professional life." - -Owner, State Farm Insurance

"Thank you for allowing me to attend the Advanced Reading Concepts class. Its success was far beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend this class for others who have not had reading training or who know that they need to improve their reading skills." - American Electric Power (to his manager, after an ARC training session at his facility)
