ABC to Brain Smart Speed Reading Techniques

MDIS


Course introduction

Research revealed that global information is doubling every 3 years. While the rate of information growth is increasing at break-neck speed, more than 90% of us did not improve our reading speed since we left school. Our average reading speed remains at about 200 words per minute (wps) but it is estimated that we need a reading speed of 400 wps to be functionally literate today. This one-day practical course will improve your reading speed as much as 5 times more than your current speed. You will discover how your eyes can move and read faster than you think.
