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!
