Your child will be excited about books and reading, and will be prepared for a great start in the upcoming school year.

In the programs for adolescents (6th grade and up), students improve comprehension in both fiction and non-fiction while doubling their reading speed. Students earn better grades in school by learning the best way to read and study textbooks, take notes, and study for tests.

The focus of the adult program (12th grade through adult) is to improve reading efficiency. To that end, eye tracking exercise, retention techniques, and systematic analytical approaches are taught.

4 years of age through Grade 5:

Grades 6–12:

• Phonics • Comprehension • Fluency • Love of Reading

• Comprehension • Speed Reading • Study Skills

High School Seniors, College Students, and Adults:

• Speed reading for school, work, and recreation.

Classes run from June 4–July 8. To view the full schedule and register, call the Institute of Reading Development at 800-964-8888.
