About Power Reading:

Q: How does Power Reading work?

A: Power Reading teaches you the secret of reading as fast as you can think. Just like a bike or typing, reading is a skill that must be developed through practice. Power Reading will teach you new techniques that will help increase your reading rate that you have never before learned in school. Practicing these new techniques will allow you to read anywhere from 500-200 words per minute (WPM).

Q: What about comprehension and recall?

A: Your comprehension and recall actually improve when you read faster, because you concentrate better. The slower you read the more time your mind as to wander.

Q: How will this help me in school?

Power Reading will teach you to read 2-5 times faster (average of 4.7) than your current reading rate. You will learn techniques that will cut your study time in half while allowing you to absorb more material. The average student will gain 10-20 hours of free-time a week!

Q: Can I make further improvements on my reading efficiency after the program?

A: Yes. The average person has the ability to read up to 3,000 WPM, and with practice anyone can obtain this level.

Q: How long is the program?

A: The program is approximately 8-10 hours in length. This can be comprised of two 4.5 hour sessions for college students or adult learners or five 2 hour sessions for students in 5th-12th grade.

Q: Will Power Reading help me take tests?

A: Yes. Improving your reading efficiency means that you will be able to read faster, understand more, and remember the information longer. Developing these skills will help you take tests with confidence. For specific tests such as the ACT, SAT, ISAT, LSAT, PRAXIS, GRE or MCAT etc, a special 2 hour Power course can be added. Check out your individual tests in our services section!

Q: Will this course help me understand difficult material?

A: Yes. The program is specifically geared for those who wish to excel at specific or complicated subject matter.

Q: Do you GUARANTEE results?
