SuperReading

Description: SuperReadingTM is a comprehensive course which provides the tools for absorbing and retaining large amounts of information in less time. Work-related materials may be read in class.
Delegates experience a steady improvement in their reading and learning abilities. Testing provides measurable proof of the upward trend of their scores. Graduates agree that reading is more enjoyable, as well as more efficient with these powerful, yet easy-to-learn techniques. Includes powerful memory techniques. Guaranteed to at least double incoming abilities.
SuperReadingTM is NOT SPEED READING. These skills taker you FAR BEYOND traditional speed reading.

Research shows us that skills like these, though simple to understand, take time to embody and use consistently (weeks). Most people who attend a one day workshop rarely use the skills they’ve learned. Those who do only use them to about 20% of their potential. We STAY WITH YOU long enough to ensure that YOU’VE GOT IT. And we do that for less money than the one-day workshops.

SuperReadingTM is a sensible, practical program that is EASY TO LEARN and shows QUICK RESULTS. There’s a complete testing package so you always know where you stand. Included is The SuperMemory Module for when you need to recall items in order. We teach a whole strategy for recalling facts and information that learning easy, fast and FUN! Also, you get The Rep Test. This five-minute exercise tells you what kind of learner you are (Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic; or combination) AND comes with a training package to improve all of those areas.

We focus mostly on Comprehension and Accuracy. The speed is there, but what good is speed if you don't recall what you read?

QUESTION: Did you ever get to the end of reading something, and discover that you remember almost nothing of what you just read?! With SuperReading®, after the first couple of days, that will virtually never happen again. What is that, alone, worth to you?

We Guarantee you will more than double your present abilities. Most people see a three to five fold increase in six to eight weeks.

Who would benefit?
Business professionals (Managers, Engineers, Scientists, Admins), Government Employees, Salesmen, Students, Entrepreneurs who read at least 4 hours per week (emails, memos, reports, journals, correspondence, classes). Allows more time for starting (and finishing) projects.

Course Length:
University: 6 classes that meet once a fortnight. The classes are 3 hours in length. Class time can be reduced with less time to practise.
Corporate: SuperReading can also be delivered in one intensive day with some SuperMemory, or combined with the SuperMemory and Visualization, over 4 or 5 days in a row. It depends on how much practice time is involved.
Public:  One 3-hour intensive session. Little practice time, but all the pertinent information is covered. Email support is included for any questions (no time limit)

COMMENTS:

“I am the Senior Engineer of Apple Computer’s Global Response Team. We are responsible for solving the problems of Apple end-users all over the world. The SuperReading course has helped us to more than quadruple our productivity.
Each team member has cut, on average, twenty-eight hours of work down to five.
Furthermore, we have seen an improvement in the quality of our responses. Previously, we received numerous e-mails from customers complaining that we did not answer the question they had asked. We were misreading their questions. As a result of our higher comprehension, we’ve measured a drop in complaints of 85%.

David Lake, Senior Engineer, Apple Computer Global Response Team

“Prior to taking this course, reading was a chore and tiring. I would read material and get sleepy. Since I took the course, my reading speed has tripled and I don't get as tired. I found the memorization module very useful.”
-Mike A., Application Engineering Manager, Hewlett-Packard
Reading Effectiveness increased from 72 to 555

SuperReading for Dyslexics

Description: SuperReadingTM has a proven track record for helping dyslexic readers make advancements in comprehension, speed and recall not previously seen. The measurable results, as verified by Dr. Ross Cooper of LSBU, have resulted in the course being fully funded by Student Finance England for dyslexic university students.
SuperReadingTM is NOT SPEED READING.

Combined with our SuperMemory tools, SuperReadingTM gives dyslexic readers the skills they need to compete equally in our competitive world. In fact, many of our readers end up with Reading Effectiveness scores surpassing those of non-dyslexic readers.

We focus mostly on Comprehension and Accuracy. The speed is there, but what good is speed if you don't recall what you read?

It is our patented Eye-HopTM exercises which make the difference. By practicing these exercises, over a matter of eight to twelve weeks, dyslexic readers gain the ability to process multiple words at a glance. Coupled with our other practical reading techniques and strategies, reading becomes easier, more productive and they can better recall what they read.

Who would benefit?
Anyone who has been diagnosed as dyslexic. We have also found that SuperReading is effective with ADHD and other learning challenges, though these have not been independently verified.
Course Length: Six classes that meet once a fortnight. The classes are 3 hours in length. Class time can be reduced with less time to practise.

COMMENTS:

“I so wish I had access to this course during my English degree. The tools like the memory room, speed reading and scanning would have been most welcome.
However, I’m equally pleased to have obtained these skills at this stage of my MA in Creative Writing. I will take away the skills and keep working on them.
Before the course I did not believe that I would be able to improve on my reading and memory due to my dyslexia. However, in a very short period of time my ability to speed read and recall what I have read has improved greatly.
Thanks Ron for bringing your skill and humour to Chichester University.”
Best wishes, Glenn”

SuperReading for The Law

We understand that law-related reading requires high accuracy and recall of detail. There is no room for errors, which could prove costly. SuperReadingTM helps you to read large quantities of material with high focus, understanding and accuracy. Our unique memory techniques foster superior memorization skills.
Most readers save a minimum of 20% of their reading time.

Classes are available in the London area and elsewhere in the UK and Europe. You can save at least 20% on your fixed fee work by implementing the SuperReadingTM Programme.

We can provide a no-charge Reading Clinic to determine present reading levels, or simply start the program. The Return on Investment is usually 20:1 or greater. This takes into account your attorney’s time for class and practice.

The savings are then ongoing, as their skills increase over time and are then maintained indefinitely. For fixed-fee cases, this is a practical way to increase profitability.

Example:
Law firm charges £500 per hour.
A contract calls for 2000 hours.
Value of contract = £1,000,000.

A 20% cost savings equals £200,000.

12 hours training for 20 lawyers = 240 hours
240 hours costs the firm £120,000.
The training costs £6000.
Non-job-related practice time equals 6 hours per lawyer,
equalling 120 hours, or £60,000.

Total costs = £186,000
Net new profit on Contract One = £14,000

Net new profit on Contracts Two+ = £200,000 (20%)

(over time the profit can grow as the skills grow)

COMMENTS:

“I’m finding the day-to-day memory techniques very useful. Before I struggled with retention- this has been very helpful. I’ve also noticed less drifting off when I read. My comprehension is higher and my speed has increased as well.”

- Kevin c.     Attorney

“I find the techniques are always helpful. They stop my mind from drifting. I used to have to pay attention to each word separately. Now I’m reading faster and my comprehension is definitely better. I’m finding the previewing very helpful- I’m able to take it all in much better. I’m also finding that reading large documents is more enjoyable; I don’t dread it like I used to. I find I’m getting to the important points much quicker now. Thank you.”

SuperReading for Schools

                  READING CLINIC

If you are connected with a school (or similar organisation), we can arrange for a special orientation to introduce the SuperReading and SuperMemory concepts. This is called a “Reading Clinic”. The time frame is usually 90 minutes, explaining the techniques and benefits of the program.

The Reading Clinic also provides testing, which gives the participants a good idea of their present skill levels. The Coach will explain what can be expected from the program. Questions are taken as well.

At the conclusion, a start date can be discussed, or the next 90 minutes can start Lesson One and the program is under way. Either scenario is possible.

If enough parents, students or other prospective attendees sign up for the Reading Clinic, there is no charge. We expect at least 15 participants.

The Reading Clinic would typically be held at your location. We would then provide three follow-up classes.

Please call for booking.

COMMENTS:

Dear Mr. Cole,

    I am writing this letter to thank you for helping my son Chris. He is in 6th grade, and ever since 1st grade he has had major problems with his reading abilities. He has been to see every reading and learning expert associated with the San Jose School System. Nothing has ever made much of a difference. This has really held back his learning. He has just barely made it through each grade level, and always at the bottom of his class. I have come to dread going to parent’s night to get his report.

     In the last few weeks this has all changed. The teachers cannot believe the difference in his work. He is understanding and remembering what he reads. They say he is smiling when he reads and understands more than most of the other children. They feel the only thing holding back his reading now is his poor vocabulary from being such a poor reader all these years. However, with the vocabulary building program you have provided, I believe there is already a positive difference there too. I know I must be patient. He is learning his words at an impressive rate, and I see it is only a matter of time before he catches up there as well.

    As a mother, it is not easy to see your child failing in his education. I am so grateful for your help to Chris. You have given me hope and given him the ability to read well and to believe in himself. Bless you.

Mrs. Marjorie Jackson (Chris’ Mom)
