Improve Your Reading Speed and Comprehension

Really well explained the tutor knows what he is talking about. Good tips and advice to improve reading.

I always having a problem with comprehensive reading; even I read a lot, I couldn't remember what I got after finishing any book. So, this course in a perfect match for me. I learned some tips since Section 1 and hopefully learn more until the last section.

Understood the I should have a feel of pleasure & purpose. while reading. I have both in my mind but the question is that how to get it practically. Again I loose my interest when I do not understand the meaning for the new words..

O professor parece entender as matérias, soube transmiti-las, mas os tópicos foram ministrados com pouca profundidade e detalhe.

I understand the step process, but for a person in their later years (almost 60) I found them confounding and irritating honestly. If you want to improve your understanding and cognitive reading for work or ESL, I suppose the steps are more in-line with the learning process. Just was not a fit for me.

Not helpful at all ! The entire course can be summarized in 2 words 1) Avoid Subvocalization 2) Read in Chunks

I learned some methodes to help me speed up and get more out of the material, but i had hoped to get some realy eye-opening or jaw-dropping experiance. I guess i am not easy to please.

Loved learning about how to create a reading process that will keep me motivated and engaged in the material I am reading

So much of this may seem obvious, but it is very practical, and I can't wait to put it into practice.

I mostly get confirmation of my own findings in that course, but there was couple of points which I wasn`t aware for which I thank You. Excercise was in my opinion poor. In general I recommend that course a a basic.

Good tips about speed reading and comprehension which I will put into practice. Everything was clearly explained and was easy to follow. Would highly recommend!

The reason for taking this course it is for academic purpose and also to improve my understating when reading work related reports.

It tells me that reading can be a real pleasure and that I can learn much better and more with some sort of technique.

Yes, it's been a long time since i thought about comprehension, but more how to get something out of reading. This course helped to remember something and learn others.

This course provides what it promises -- effective instruction and guidance to help one improve reading speed and comprehension. Lessons are clear and immediately practicable. I wish this course had been available when I was a student! I especially appreciate this course's prioritization of comprehension and retention over speed, because meaningful reading (beyond mere decoding) occurs only to the extent that comprehension occurs; speed follows primarily as one gets better and faster at comprehending. This course shows how to do all of this effectively while increasing the fun of reading. This course applies to both fiction and non-fiction reading, which is great; but for my purposes I found that the course's approach to non-fiction reading focused too much on the sorts of "textbooky" sources typically encountered by young students -- the kind of sources that have the text broken up generously with plenty of headings and subheadings that act as signposts to guide the reader through the text's meaning. As an adult long past my school days, I had hoped this course would provide more advice about dealing with the materials I usually read now -- challenging texts, often with no headings nor subheadings beyond chapter titles. This issue is relevant to this course because many of this course's recommendations involve using headings and subheading for things like previewing and generating questions to guide one's reading; it's not clear how to apply this course's teachings to challenging non-fiction material that doesn't have headings and subheadings breaking up the text. Overall, this is an excellent course that delivers what it promises; and the instructor is helpful and engaging.
