can do."
"It is the most complex of human
functions."
Dr. S.E. Shaywitz, Yale University

RESULTS OF THE LEARNING TO LEARN COURSE
Average Untrained Speed 150 - 200
Words/Minute = 8 - 11 Hours/Book
Average Alphalearning Graduate 600 - 900
Words/Minute = 2 – 3 Hours/Book
Increased efficiency
Over 3 to 1
The same % Savings or increase in
efficiency is achieved in all types of reading: from news reports to
business letters
According to a recent survey by the
European Commission in Brussels the average senior executive costs over
$200/hour, works 10 hours per day and spends 30% of that time or 3 hours per
day reading.
An increase in reading efficiency of 3
to 1; therefore, saves 2 hours per day.
And, all graduates report increased
comprehension, concentration and recall.
Average Daily Time Saved: 2 hours @
$200/hour = $400/day.
$8,000/month in total savings.
Three months after the course the
average speed has increased another 25% - to over 1,000 words per minute -
with no additional training.
Improving
reading and memory skills is the most cost effective training available for
the business executive.
