A leader in reading instruction since 1971, the Institute helps educational organizations provide reading skills programs to the communities they serve. For more information, visit www.readingprograms.org.

In this carefully designed program, students learn to take active control of their reading, whether academic, business, or recreational. Each class includes instruction in reading speed, comprehension strategies, study skills and vocabulary. Students see immediate progress as they apply these skills in a variety of nonfiction texts as well as an enjoyable work of literature. Students come out of program reading significantly faster, with better concentration, comprehension, and recall in all of their reading.

Between the weekly lessons, students apply their new skills in their regular reading material, so the practice does not increase their existing workload. Students experience immediate gains in speed and efficiency, greatly diminishing the time it takes to complete existing reading tasks.

The program is conducted in a workshop format, which emphasizes in-class application and practice under the guidance of an experienced instructor. You can expect to see speed, comprehension, and retention gains during the first lesson. These gains will increase as the program progresses.

This class will decrease your workload. Most students double their reading speed during the first or second lesson. You will not need to read or study additional materials for this class, because homework consists of applying the skills and strategies learned in class to your regular school, work, or personal reading.

At any time in the future, you may repeat any lesson or the entire program for free.
