Comments
This is the first speed-reading course ever accredited by the
University of Paris. All general content developed in the Paris lectures and
exercises are included herein. This system has been taught successfully to
students and professionals in America, Europe, and has had great success in
Japan. It represents a systematic attrition of bad reading habits through
exercising good reading habits.
NOTE: The course is not intended as a remedial reading course.
However, some of the highest improvement scores have been obtained by dyslexic
students.
