Here are Answers to the Questions Our Clients Frequently Ask:
Not at all. By increasing your reading speed – two, three or four times faster than it presently is – you won’t lose the enjoyment of reading. You will not only be able to read more of the books you always wanted to; you will have a better understanding of the storyline. You wouldn’t go to a movie theater and watch only forty-five minutes of a movie and then wait several nights to see the second half. You will learn to read entire novels in one sitting. In fact, graduates of our course have told us that reading this new way is a lot like watching a movie, because thoughts and concepts blend together so well.
As long as you have at least a eighth grade grade reading level, you qualify for the course.

Once you learn to read at a rapid rate you will have complete concentration because there is no time for distractions.
