Have you discovered you have time for little else but study... study ... study Cut your homework time Your required reading assignments are probably taking too much of your time. You can tut litis time in half because Reading Dynamics Institute can triple your reading speed in just a few weeks time. Not only will you read faster, but you'll remember what you’ve read. Rapid readers have better concentration In the very beginning when you learned to read, you were told to read aloud. Remember? You were taught to hear each word in order to under stand it. Your reading speed was based on how quickly you could hear the words, not how quickly you could see them. Soon dull para graphs found you daydreaming. YOUR READ ING WAS NOT KEEPING PACE WITH YOUR THINKING. Now, however, it is possi ble lor you to read as fast as you tan think. Now, at last, concentration becomes a nature given fact. What is Reading Dynamics? It is the art ol teaching people to triple* their reading s|>eed and at the same time inctease their understanding of what they have read. Reading Dynamits is not new.
