Other Information:

This course is for anyone who wishes to read more quickly and efficiently.  It trains delegates to use appropriate speeds to gain different levels of comprehension and retention.  The course aims to work as a measurable time management tool as delegates should learn to be able to, at least, double their reading speeds.

Objectives

At the end of the course the delegates will:

• Understand how we read
• Understand how we limit our reading speeds through sub-vocalisation
• Have developed their eye muscles to be able to increase their reading speed
• Be able to limit the 'what was that I just read' and retain more information
• Be able to take efficient notes from their reading
• Be able to choose different reading speeds for different levels of comprehension
