Editorial Reviews

With this program, you can learn how to double or even triple your reading speed, increasing not only your rate, but your comprehension and memory of the text as well. In this VHS set, you'll learn the multiple reading process, blending all of the techniques you've learned into one habitual process.

This review is from: Evelyn Wood: Reading Dynamics (VHS Tape)

I think some other reviewers said it, but I'll just repeat it. Use a pacer while reading (i.e. move you finger or a pencil across the page to lead your eye along). That's pretty much what the video says. If I had paid full price for the DVD version for this info, I would be writing a much worse review for being ripped off. Since I bought the old VHS copy for under $10, I'm not going to complain too much. This is definitely not worth the full price. BTW, there really aren't any on screen examples or cool demos, illustrations, or anything. Just one of the company's trainers (not Evelyn herself, if she exists) giving a training seminar. In other words, its a video of a lecture that occasionally. I heard about this at a Fred Pryor training that my old job sent me to, which in and of itself was largely a sales pitch for the companies others products and training presentations. They try to tell ou that this program has been used by the rich and powerful and was a key to their success. My guess is that presidents and world leaders may have seen this video or attended a live presentation of this reading seminar, but unless they got more than what was presented in this video I highly doubt it was a key to anything. Most of this information could be obtained in a 15 minute conversation with a reading teaching at any elementary school or middle school in the country.
