Reading for Results© is a five-week classroom participation course designed to help people of all ages read more efficiently in this ever-growing information age. Because the amount of necessary information is dramatically increasing, it is important for people to develop the skills which will allow them to skim and scan information rapidly and be able to focus on specific areas in depth. Reading for Results© helps develop these essential skills.
The Reading for Results© course is designed for anyone who reads at or above a 3rd grade reading level. Children as young as 8 have successfully completed the course. Reading for Results© techniques have also proven to be successful with students who exhibit Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia, and other learning challenges. These students have demonstrated extreme giftedness when using techniques taught in the course.

The Reading for Results© Course Results in
Significant, often dramatic increase in reading speed
Significant, often dramatic increase in reading comprehension
Increased self confidence
The development of positive attitudes and the expectation of positive results
Studies show that there is a close relationship between reading speed and level of comprehension. Traditional "word reading" reduces speed and limits people to reading silently only slightly faster than they do when they read aloud. For optimal performance, silent reading speed should be at least 2 to 3 times faster than oral reading speed. Reading for Results© helps increase reading speed in an organized, systematic, easy-to-understand manner.
Reading for Results© is more than just a speed reading course. It is an overall reading enhancement program that provides skills that will prove to be of value throughout a person's entire life!
