MEET TOM HALL
Tom Hall is just another guy that likes to play baseball more than most. Since he's working his way through college, he doesn't have much time left to study. Maybe even less than you. That's why Tom enrolled in our Reading Class.
He's a college baseball player
Tom admits that for eight weeks his schedule was worse than usual, his baseball was at stake. Woman just had to wait!
Now that the course is over, Tom is still no egghead—or professor. Baseball's still his first love. But there is one difference—Tom now reads 10 times faster. He finishes his work before it linishes him! And he's still eligible for the team.
Tom Hall is not a mental freak, nor is he a naturally fast reader. He learned this revolutionary technique of rapid reading at the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institute. He is one of more than 250,000 graduates in the United States.
You may not learn to read quite as fast as Tom Hall (and then again you might). But the nationally known Reading Dynamics Institute guarantees that you'll at least triple your reading speed with good comprehension . . . or receive a full tuition refund. Just to show that Tom Hall is not unique, here are the beginning and ending speeds of recent graduates in this region:

Utfah school teacher discovers technique of dynamic reading.
Evelyn Wood first observed dynamic reading 18 years ago when a professor at the University of Utah read her term paper at an amazing 6,000 words per minute. Mrs. Wood's curiosity caused her to look for other exceptional readers, and over the next few years she found 50 people who could read faster than 1,500 words per minute, with fine comprehension, outstanding recall and great reading satisfaction. She was now sure it was possible to read faster than anyone had thought, but the question of how was not yet answered. It took 8 years of foil and research, working with naturally fast readers before she began to find the answers. Eventually she developed a technique whereby the average student was able to learn to read 3 to 10 times faster. She taught her method at the University of Utah for three years, refining it even more. Further studies were conducted at the University of Delaware, and the first reading Dynamics Institute was opened in Washington, D.C. In September, 1959. Since that time institutes have been opened in 67 cities throughout the country, and national enrollment for the course has topped 250,000.
Comprehension is stressed
At a recent teacher training conference, Mrs. Wood emphasized that dynamic reading is nothing like the skimming techniques commonly used in speed reading courses. She said, "Skipping words is dangerous, as you don't know whether or not you have skipped a word which could change the whole meaning of the sentence.
"You read five times faster," she pointed out, not by reading every fifth word, but by reading five times as many words in the same amount of time. Mrs. Wood emphasized that using her technique of rapid reading, every word on the page is noted.
