Course Content
Overview
Once you learn to read by sight only, you will be able to read groups of words, whole ideas with each glance. It is remarkable that only in reading do we limit our eyes to a single symbol. You look at a painting or scene entirely, not left to right, not a section at a time. People who read rapidly generally have better concentration and comprehension because their reading speed is keeping pace with their thinking speed!
