Why Speed Reading?
The volume of information bombarding us today can be overwhelming. Being able to read it quickly, understand it and remember it is an increasing concern for us all. So much so, that speed reading is becoming an essential skill to acquire.
The Effective Speed Reading™ programme is not just about developing reading speed; it also teaches techniques to improve information absorption and recall. The programme includes the unique INSEAK® approach to reading, exclusive to Illumine, which shows exactly how to achieve this.
Objectives:
The main objective of the course was to help members of the Wessex Jamaat to dramatically increase their reading speeds. Some members wanted to apply speed reading to their studies (students) others to their work and life in general. The outcome of this was to save time and
