POWER READING - better than Speed Reading!
Your reading ability is one of your most important tools
for personal success. If you read fast and have good comprehension,
your learning rate increases and you tend to succeed!
Power reading techniques train you to read faster without
skipping words. You learn to read groups of words, in clusters,
so that you don't miss the author's meaning. With these
techniques, you can switch from a study rate to a pleasure
rate instantly to match the type of material you are reading.
The Personal Learning System adjusts itself to the difficulty
level of the user. From sixth grade to adult, the system measures
your performance on each lesson and automatically sets new speeds
to assure success. As your speed gradually develops, you will
begin to lose those old "sounding out" habits that cause slow
reading and poor comprehension. Reading becomes enjoyable.
At any time, the PLS will print a complete record of your progress.
After each lesson, you can print a hard copy of the lesson story.
Be sure a printer is attached before you continue.
There are no manuals needed to learn Power Reading techniques.
With visual techniques, the computer trains your eyes to see
clusters of words at increasing speeds. Then it develops smooth
left-to-right eye movements and combines these new skills for
total improvement of reading. When you read word clusters, you
take in thoughts rather than just words. Comprehension improves!
Lessons include full length stories, not just a series of dull
paragraphs. Stories range from mysteries to adventure to history,
written to interest a wide age range. Within each lesson, your
comprehension is checked and your progress is recorded.
Most of us use only a small portion of our real reading ability.
After just fifteen lessons, you will double your reading speed
while increasing comprehension and enjoyment. Each day, your new
reading skills will transfer to everyday reading.
A copy of the Entry Level Survey is included in this Demo. It is
now loading into memory. Try it! It will take about ten minutes
to complete. When you are finished, it will show (and print out)
some important information about your visual skills and your
present reading speed. Then it will show your real potential.
