I The name of the game is Reading Dynamics, the art of teaching students to triple their reading
What speed while simultaneously increasing understanding of what has been read. People who have
taken the course-among them senators, educators, judges and students-have increased their speed an average of
4.7 times. You are guaranted a minimum of three times your present reading speed if you follow the course to its
conclusion and practice one hour per day. . ,
Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institute began 20 years ago when Mrs. Wood submitted her master s thesis to
Dr. Lowell Lees, her professor at the University of Utah. He read the thesis . . 80 typewritten pages ... in under
four minutes! He also marked the paper without missing a detail. His untrained speed was 6,000 words per minute,
compared to the average college student's of 350 words per minute.
Miss Wood spent the next two years tracing people who were rapid readers and interviewing them. Then
came 14 years of research and testing to perfect a method of teaching rapid reading. She taught her first public
classes in Washington, D.C., with results so positive that laudatory stories appeared in Time, Newsweek, Business
Week and Esquire, Graduates of the course appeared on the Tonight Show, the Gary Moore Show, and I've Got a
Secret. Most important, her first students learned to increase their speed from 3 to 10 times over what it had been
. . . with a gain in understanding, as well.
Since 1959, more than 200,000 people have taken the course in 23 institutes throughout the United States.

Reading piling up?
Term looks tough?
If you are in college to learn
then EWRDI is for you...
There are three raasons why you should study Reading
Dynamics: to read faster, to read with greater compre
to learn a new study technique which will be of great
value to you now, as a student, and in later life, too. You'll find that
as your proficiency in speed reading grows, you'll absorb more time
to think about and relate to each other the various individual parts
of what you read. The proven result has been higher grades for those
students completing the course. Average grade index for Oregon
college students, shown below, illustrates this statement:
Average G P A. before taking course 2 77
Average G.P.A. while taking course 3.03
Average Accum. G.P.A. after completing course 2.89
The benefits of speed reading continue long after you have left
school. For example, Senator Stuart Symington, Missouri, said: I can
now read most material at speeds above 3,000 words per minute
and technical material in the 2,000 word per minute range.'' Obvious
ly, to absorb so much information in a short time is a tremendous
aid in the paper-oriented world of business, science, technology and
education.
Why
hension and
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 understand it. Your reading speed was based on how quickly you
could hear the words, not how quickly you could see them. Soon dull
paragraphs found you daydreaming. YOUR READING IS NOT KEEP
ING PACE WITH YOUR THINKING. Now, however, it is possible for
you to read as fast as you think. Now, at last, concentration becomes
a nature-given fact.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
More reading in less time with better understanding which means
an education with good grades arid free time.
NOT ENOUGH TIME?
This course teaches you to learn and practice on your text books.
You make time for the course and other activities by doing all your
studying in less time.
SPEED IS TRIPLED BY READING THREE WORDS AT ONCE . . . NOT
BY READING ONE OF THREE WORDS!!!

GUARANTEE
We will guarantee to increase the reading efficiency of each
student by AT LEAST 3 times with good comprehension. We
will refund the entire tuition of anv student who does not
obtain at least the tripling of his reading efficiency as measured
at the Itcginning and ending tests. This refund is conditional
upon the student's having attended all of the required classes
or having made up missed sessions with the teacher. He also
must have practiced the required number of hours, follow ing
the assignments as outlined bv the teacher. The average student
may expect a 5-times increase in reading speed and an im
provement in comprehension and recall. Any student who must
withdraw from the course for any reason may Te-enter any
subsequent courses at any future time, at no additional cost.
