SuperReading

Develop Skills in Speed Reading, Learning and Memory

Whatever subject you are going to study, SuperReading will help you get through the material faster, with better understanding and recall. This course develops your ability to read faster with higher comprehension and retention. SuperReading is the only course approved for dyslexic readers by the UK government.

Reading is fundamental to learning and advancing; and the way we are taught to read in school does not adequately prepare us for the onslaught of reading and learning we are often faced with. SuperReading was designed to allow people to stay focused and absorb information at higher speeds.

For example, when you read, how often do you lose your focus and start thinking about other things? How often do you get to the end of a page or chapter and almost no idea what you were reading? This problem plagues readers. It wastes valuable time and is frustrating. Our minds drift off without our awareness. SuperReading provides at least two tools that will overcome this time waster.

Have you ever had to read the same sentence over again several times before you understood it? SuperReading will help you with that situation as well. Since 1995, SuperReading has provided professionals and students with the needed skills to master their reading load and remember specific facts long into the future. Since 1997, the program has also featured the SuperMemory skills for recalling information, note taking and studying.

This self-guided course will quickly improve your abilities with skills and strategies that you will notice in the first day or two. The course also provides the only proven, measurable way to read faster while maintaining your comprehension. This is accomplished through the use of specially formatted exercises which help you to read multiple words at a glance. The reason is to help you read faster than you can “talk” or pronounce the words in your head. Trying to read faster than you can talk leads to dropped words and meaning.

SuperReading is the most practical, easy and fun set of skills for reading. We are also one of the few programs that provide (voluntary) testing to measure your progress. Other courses have you guess at how much better you’re doing. With SuperReading, you will know for sure. Even without the tests, there will be no mistake that you’re understanding more in less time.
