Speed Reading: How to Read Faster and Remember More
Would you like to read faster and remember more of what you have read?
If you are reading at 200-250 words per minute, like most people, you are at a great disadvantage. The United Nations has reported the need to read at 400 words per minute to be functionally literate in today’s business world.
Learn how you can increase your reading speed just by understanding how your eyes move when you read. Using proper eye movements, you can read for hours without eye strain and fatigue. By combining faster reading with memory techniques, you will remember more of what you have read.
Many executives have already attended this workshop and most are able to read faster, with many achieving 400 words per minute.
Attend the workshop and you will learn how to absorb information faster and have better retention of what you have read.
