Getting The Most From Speed Reading Courses
Some say that the textbooks for speed reading courses are the fastest reads you will find. That really bad joke is an example of the stereotypical things you will find when you start researching speed reading courses. There are things to look out for and things you should avoid all together. Remember that the skill of speed reading is not something you can learn overnight so the speed reading courses you choose should reflect that gradual gathering of knowledge approach. That being said it should also be noted that there are legitimate speed reading courses available, you just have to find them.
Ah the circus. That magical time when the ring master comes to town with his magic tricks and clowns for a one night only engagement that has everyone on the edge of their seats. Then, just when you start to get into it, the circus ends. Hey, wait a minute! I didn't pay to see a circus! I paid for a speed reading course! Traditionally speed reading courses that blow into town for one night and are gone the next day are worth no more in educational value than a day at the circus. Avoid the fly by night speed reading courses and make sure that you sign up with an educational organization that has credentials and a long-standing reputation.
Going Back To School
Whenever you are considering anything to do with human communication always check and see if the local community colleges in your area offer anything you may benefit from. You will be surprised at what your local community college has to offer and how inexpensive it can be as well. Many communities also offer a local community education program that may include speed reading courses. There may not be university professors running the classes, but it is offered by a reputable organization with a long-standing reputation and that is exactly what you want.
So take your time and find the course that works best for you and that is offered by an organization you can trust. You would be surprised how many speed reading circuses come to town. Now that you know better you will never support one of those three ring disasters. If everyone thought that way then maybe those clowns will close down their show for good and leave the real training to the people that are qualified to do it and are dedicated to doing it right.
