Our Speed Reading Company was founded in 1977 by professionals who used their backgrounds from American Speedreading Academy and Evelyn Woods Reading Dynamics to create a hybrid of the best visual and comprehension building techniques currently known.  Additional research in reading and accelerated learning along with years of experience have continually improved our programs.

Our speed reading courses and seminars give our participants reading speed, comprehension and concentration skills along with the confidence to succeed at work, in school, on tests and in life.

Many of our clients are over scheduled professionals, business owners, managers, sales reps., researchers, and adults and teens getting ready for the next step in their lives: preparing for professional or college entrance exams, and further education.  We have a proven track record of helping people who have ADHD and some with dyslexia.

The Ohio CPA Board realizes the value of our courses and gives one hour credit for each hour of class time.  We presented at the Ohio Society of CPA's  Business & Technology Expo on last December  and will also be at the conferences in Dayton on May 23rd and in Columbus on November 28th.

Other conferences were  "Reading Faster to Understand More" and "Technical Reading" to The Midwest Veterinary Conference.  The  OHCA Conference

learned a lot in May and we will be the keynote presenter at the IAAP in November.
