Speed Reading

The term Speed Reading originally referred only to techniques which helped people read ‘normally’ (sequentially) but faster. These included techniques such as reducing the number of fixations (time your eyes stop to focus on a word) per line, and eye patterns (zig-zag, super-reading, etc) for looking down a page for hot spots of key information.

On our courses, as well as mastering all the speed reading skills, you also learn the complete PhotoReading Whole Mind System developed by Paul Scheele, plus numerous other techniques which allow you to develop your own approach to suit your own individual requirements (Strategic Reading) .
