KeyToStudy Speedreading Masterclass
Triple your reading and research speed. Learn anything faster.
Course Description
If you want to read something better, this is the place for you. Sometimes, “better” means reading three times faster and consuming information at record speeds. Other times, it’s tripling your comprehension or dramatically increasing your ability to use what you read. Whatever your learning goal—speed, understanding, or follow-up—this course delivers better learning skills, customized to your needs.
For me, every learning experience starts with reading—and it’s a skill you can always upgrade. The Key to Study Speedreading Masterclass walks you through the four phases of speed reading, using our exclusive KeyToStudy methodology to unlock your full potential at each stage.
