Effective Reading Centers

Information may not be reliable

Effective: We are able to comprehend, or understand, what we read while we read.
Rapid: Refers to the rate, or speed, at which we read.

We focus on being able to read quickly while still, consciously, comprehending the material being read. Some reading programs concentrate strictly on speed without testing comprehension. Other programs rely upon the unconscious mind to synthesize, remember and understand the information.
These are valid methods of taking in information, but when a person needs to have conscious, didactic understanding and knowledge of the material being read (Ex. for a final exam, or for a key business meeting), Effective Rapid Reading provides a way to achieve that.

This course is great for freshman becuase they will get a head start on how to read college material. G.C.
