Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 11
Beginner Level
Bill Gates reads 14 books on vacation at about 750 WPM (words per minute) with 90% comprehension. He attributes his success in life to all his reading.

I am not as great as Bill Gates; but I do read at about 400 WPM with 80% comprehension.  The average adult reads around 250 to 300 WPM.

We will practice how to read fast with maximum retention.

What topics will you cover? 
We will use simple texts to keep it light and fun.

How is your class structured? 
1. I'll time your reading of a few paragraphs.
2. Additionally, I will teach you how to read quickly (skimming and scanning).
3. We will practice. And practice.
4. Your vocabulary will expand at the same time.

🟩I recommended to book 4 classes.  After this, I will assess if the vocabulary classes will be needed.  

I teach by first showing how to do something.  After that, I ask the student to repeat the process.

Learning that way is much faster.

The learner will only need access to a computer screen.  If necessary, the learner will need reading glasses.

It is more of a game-themed learning. There are a variety of colourful guessing games with colourful pointers to the text.

🟩Learning at the end of the classes: Make reading a breeze.
Learning Goals
The student will learn and practice one technique to be able to read more rapidly with still retaining the memory.
