Speedlearning Institute, New York

Faced with mountains of data-filled reports to read and process every day, the staffers of John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign turned to Speedreading 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.
