Reviews
J. Navarro, Student ...
It was one of the most valuable courses I have ever taken and the one with the fastest results. It really improved my reading, both speed and comprehension, to an optimum point.
P. Cooper, Executive...
For one who has to read as much as I do, this course saves hours a day!
Klaus Dahl, Internet Product Developer...
This is simply the best book I've ever read on speedreading! It's really, really good, and I strongly recommend that you invest in this book if you want to read more in less time and enjoy the whole process.
C. Pollack, Student...
Your Power Reading course has improved my reading speed and comprehension immensely. I think they should adopt this program in all schools. What used to take one hour now takes approximately 20 minutes.
Mr. Soolsa, New York...
Surprise, it actually works! With this book you can advance at your own pace. I used to be the world's slowest reader — now I breeze through tech manuals, newspaper articles and before you know it, I have so much more time to do other stuff.
M. Fox, Student...
I am so happy to have found your Power Reading site on the Internet. I received the course a few weeks ago... I just had to tell you it is excellent. My reading speed and comprehension have improved so much!
Dr. Joachim Vogeler, Professor, Louisiana State University...
I am extremely pleased with the results. I enthusiastically recommend Power Reading to any teacher or student.
J. Morabe, Executive ...
This increase in my comprehension is as important to me as the increase in my reading speed. Definitely recommend it.
D. Kawasawa, Student...
I really enjoyed Power Reading. It improved my comprehension and speed immensely and helped with my classes and grades
About the Author
Power Reading is the unique new speedreading course that is the result of more than 30 years of research, experience and teaching. It has been developed by Rick Ostrov, the reading instructor who has been seen by more people than any other in history. For years he has been seen on television in every major city in the United States and many foreign countries.
Rick's students read like a list of executives from Americas largest companies - IBM, AT&T, GE and so on. In addition, he's taught scientists, doctors, lawyers, teachers, secretaries, blue collar workers and thousands of parents and students just like you!
He is most famous for the documentary done on his class where he taught the entire engineering faculty - 63 Ph.D.'s-full professors - of the University of Texas in Austin. This documentary was used by the world's largest private reading improvement company of which Rick was the top instructor. This was the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics company. For years Rick was also the star in their television commercials.
Rick left them to pursue his research for more effective methods in reading practical, technical and study type materials. He felt that a heavy emphasis on skimming and scanning in relatively easy materials was conventional but not effective enough for practical, technical and study applications.
After years of research, work and testing, his unique new 2001 Third Edition Power Reading course has been released. This advanced speedreading course is different from every other reading program ever developed. The unique Curriculum teaches people to speedread and increase their comprehension using their own materials while they actually read for work or school. In addition, Rick has included the most effective techniques note-taking, test-taking, technical reading and studying ever developed.
