Mrs. Towe died June 28, 1970. During her lifespan she had indicated an interest in helping young children, especially those who suffered from deafness and learning difficulties.

The Medical Center and felt the Medical Center had a good program for this.

Just how honest have we been with our speed reading claims?
Especially, ours.
There have been a lot of popular myths flying around about speed reading courses.
Which is only natural when you consider the fact that Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics institutes teach more people how to speed read each year than all the other speed reading courses combined.
We so analyzed all of our national student data by computer. To help interpret the effects of our course, and to tell us who's benefiting.
We think it's about time for you to read the facts about our claims.
No matter what speed you read them at.
CLAIM: Our course is easy to learn.
ACT: There're no note taking. No memorizing required. Students range in age from 11 to 84. The majority of them were no better at it than I was.
By investing the normal amount of time (class and practice), or by maximizing the minimum promised goal at least a 3-fold improvement.
CLAIM: If you do not at least take your reading efficiency after having correctly taken the course, we will refund your entire tuition.
FACT: 1.6% do not. And they receive a full tuition refund. In accord-
ance with national policy.
CLAIM While we guarantee that your reading efficiency will at least triple our average graduate achieves a higher rate of improvement.
FACT: Our average graduate reads 4.7 times faster than he did when he began the course.
FACT: The national average is a 3% increase in comprehension. Most people have a comprehension rate of over 70% to begin with.
CLAIM: Not only does reading speed improve, but comprehension increases, too.
CLAIM: The average Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics graduate reads in excess of 1,000 words per minute.
CLAIM: You don't have to be a student to benefit from the course.
FACT: While students comprise $45.1\%$ of all class enrollment, the majority of classes is made up of non- students. For example, $12.9\%$ are professionals (doctors, lawyers, dentists, architects and engineers). $7.2\%$ are educators (deans, superintendents, principals, and teachers). $34.8\%$ are executives, stock brokers, salesmen, housewives, nurses, stewardesses, etc.
FACT: Measured in terms of reading speed, the average graduate reads 1,500 words per minute.
FACT: 50% is the average reduction in study time. One hour is the average reading time per novel. 35 minutes is the average reading time for a news magazine. And technical reading time is reduced by 66%
CLAIM: You will be able to significantly reduce the amount of time it takes you to do the same amount of reading you now do.
We could go on and on, Claim after claim. Fact after fact.
So here's one more claim for you to think about:
If you attend one of our free, introductory speed reading lessons, we will increase your reading speed on the spot. It takes one hour of your time to check out the facts about the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course.
We'll let the claims speak for themselves.
