$129 for a Speed Reading 101 Class ($695 Value)

During each Speed Reading 101 session, instructors divulge the institute’s guiding principles, designed to alleviate common reading snafus. Tutors enlighten students on such subjects as overlining, a speed-enhancing practice that involves directing eyes above words, and subvocalization, the concept of hearing written text mentally, which can impede one’s reading pace. All attendees receive an instructional manual and the institute’s own RasterMaster laser pen, a tool designed to expand peripheral vision and bolster at-home speed-reading practice. Geared toward high-school students to help prepare them for standardized tests and college-placement exams, this course also assists students in improving scores on graduate-level exams such as the LSAT and the GRE. Classes are held at an unaffiliated local university and are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., including five hours of class time and one hour for lunch.

Speedlearning Institute

Faced with mountains of data-filled reports to read and process every day, the staffers of John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign turned to the Speedlearning Institute to exponentially increase the amount of information they could absorb. Since then, politicians, students, and business people have followed suit, learning how to read up to three times faster, retain nearly twice the information, and have 50% more time to open Milk Duds after reading movie-title crawls. During six-hour sessions, instructors teach pupils how to utilize peripheral vision and unlock the brain's ability to quickly process complete sentences without silently reading each word.
