Can You Study at the rate of 800 Words per minute
Most Reading Dynamics Graduates can
How Is This Possible?
READING DYNAMICS is a unique, revolutionary new process of reading rapidly down the page, allowing the eyes to trigger the mind directly.
HOW DID IT START?
Twenty years ago Mrs. Evelyn Wood, while working toward her master's degree, handed a term paper to a professor and watched him read the 80 pages at 6,000 words per minute with outstanding recall and comprehension. Determined to find the secret behind such rapid reading, she spent the next two years tracking down 50 people who could read between 1,500 and 6,000 words per minute. She studied their techniques, and taught herself to read at these faster rates. Now after years of testing, you can benefit from this great discovery.
95% of our graduates read 3 to 10 times faster than their starting speed with good comprehension and recall.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
WHY DO MANY PEOPLE READ SLOWLY?
Three bad habits cause most slow reading:
(1) Saying the words to ourself.
(2) Seeing only one word at a time.
(3) Regression — going back and rereading unnecessarily.
WHY READ RAPIDLY?
With the knowledge explosion of today it is impossible for the average reader to keep up in his field, much less learn about the many new things that are happening.
How is it Different From Other Courses?
Conventional rapid reading courses aspire to 450-600 words per minute Most Reading Dynamics graduates can read between 1,500 and 3,000 words per minute.
NO MACHINES ARE USED You learn instead to use your hand as a pacer, a tool you always have with you.
HOW ABOUT TECHNICAL MATERIAL?
Special techniques are used on technical material. Students are asked to bring their own technical books to study. That way they can get some of their homework out of the way.

What Students Have Taken the Course?
Over 150,000 people from 12 to 84 years of age have taken the course. Here are some of the student comments.
"A useful course providing useful tools for further development. However continued practice will be necessary in order that I benefit from the course."—Peter A. Judd, 22, 1045 W. 19th St.
"Although I can only read at 1300 words per minute with good comprehension, the rate is four times better than before the course began. I'm sure my rate will increase through practice now that I have learned the skills."—David R. Oberhill, 23, 1229 Ohio
"I found the course very useful in studies."—George Koogle, 19, 1225 Tennessee.
"It has made all the difference in the amount of material I can cover. I expect to carry a much heavier load in school. It will save two semesters time toward my degree."--Judy Sankpill, 23, Kansas City, Mo.
RESULTS ARE GUARANTEED
We guarantee to increase the reading efficiency of each student by at least three times with equal or better comprehension. We will refund the entire tuition of any student who does not triple his reading efficiency as measured by the beginning and subsequent tests, or the student may retake the course free of charge.
