Student Testimonials:

“I have already started to do more reading just in the past two weeks. It has helped a lot and I am excited to have more time in the fall.”
–Jessica B., junior, Upper Arlington H.S.

“I think it really helped me understand what I read, and also how I can get finished with assignments faster. I also believe that taking notes will really help me get better grades. Thank you.”
–Kiere B., sophomore, Upper Arlington H.S.

“The course is great. I enjoyed it a lot. I started as a hostage and now I am a volunteer.”
–Edward B. freshman, Upper Arlington H.S.

“This is probably the most helpful class that I have ever taken. It is amazing how much I improved in such a short period of time. Now that I can speedread, I’m not as worried about all of the schoolwork next year. I’ll be able to do it quickly with confidence in my comprehension.”
–Carlin G. sophomore, Upper Arlington HS

“Honestly, I was skeptical at first but very quickly you proved to me that you don’t need to see every word. My best technique was probably the zig-zag because you could see a good amount of words without overload. I don’t think you should change a thing.”
–Brandon R. junior, St. Charles Preparatory School

“It was amazing how much my speed increased the first day which made me want to come the next day.”
–Daniel S. sophomore, Upper Arlington HS

“I think that this class is going to help me very much in the near future as I approach the college life. Thanks again!”
–Danny S. freshman, Miami University

“Thank you for this good week. It was very helpful and I will try hard to use it for school to get things done faster.”
–Ben B. 8th grader, Columbus Academy

“I thought this class was very helpful for me and helped me make goals, organize my thoughts, and of course speed read. …I am very happy that I took this class.”
–Jejin K. 7th grader, Dublin Sells M.S.

The Situation is employees are overloaded with a constant stream of electronic and/or paper based corporate, customer and personal reading every day. It appears on their desk and their desktop overnight and all day long. Meeting announcements and briefings, meeting minutes, company news, customer communications, benefits information, product information, office events, jokes, and personal e-mails, etc.

The Problem is this reading material is treated as “top priority” and is accomplished before the employee get’s into their “real job.”

The Result is that an assumed 8 hour day is reduced by 2-3 hours by the daily flow of this “required reading.”

The Need is to find a way to decrease the daily flow of reading material and/or to reduce the time required to read this material – “if you can’t turn-off the spicket you better learn how to drink faster.”

And, the Benefit of reducing the time spent reading the daily flow of required reading is an increase in the productive time spent on the employee’s real job. On average, you can reduce reading time by 2 to 3 times, while increasing efficiency by 5 times.
