Students will improve their reading speed and comprehension by at least 20% to 30% above their starting base rate. (Often students will begin around 200wpm, and increase to 350, 400wpm, 600 wpm, or more). They will learn when to use this skill and when to read at a slower pace. They will learn skills to maintain high levels of comprehension and retention as they increase their reading speed.

First create your habits, then your habits create you!1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
