If you had a pen that was high-tech, yet baby-easy to use – that in twenty (20) minutes of training could help you read-and-remember three (3) books, articles and reports in the time it takes others to finish one (1) – would you need to know more?

Back in 1942 – (World War 2) - the U. S. Air Force was having trouble teaching their pilots to quickly identify enemy planes. They created a training-tool called a ‘tach-is-to-scope’ (Greek: meaning swift) – that flashed visual-images on-a-screen - to improve the speed-of-viewing, together with extending long-term memory.

Did it really work?

The U.S. Air Force experts tested the tachistoscope on their crews and concluded it improved ‘sightings’ 85%. It was declared mandatory-training for all pilots, co-pilots and navigators – and hidden-away as Top-Secret for the duration of the war.

So?

After the U.S. and their allies won the war – educators in New York adapted the government’s tachistoscope for training students to read faster. It worked great – students read faster, understood more, and remembered text much longer.

But there was a serious problem using this speed reading tachistoscope – it was way- too-big – and once the reader did not have their tool – they reverted back to ‘snailing’ – slowly reading one-word-at-a-time. But all the PhDs agreed this ‘speed reading’ thing - was a valuable contribution to reading – once they figured it out.

What’s New?

In the year 2000 – (Evelyn passed-on in 1995), we finished ten-years of research on an advanced speed reading program for students and executives who required the competitive edge to live on the Fast Track.

The big-improvement was the RasterMaster,™ a handheld laser-pen (no ink), that offered all the benefits of the tachistoscope – but was easy-as-pie, had you speed learning in twenty-minutes, and best-of-all was portable.

After testing it on kids from 8th grade to high school, college, graduate-school, and executives and professionals – we began to offer it at colleges and universities in the U.S.

Speed Reading 100 helps students and executives quickly add 300% to their reading speed, and up to 40% to their knowledge-skills. It helps students ace their courses, exams and degrees.

Companies and organizations use it to improve the productivity of their top-guns up to 41% - a significant amount – and discovered graduates were more creative, and communicated better. These results often transferred to an improved corporate balance sheet. Money talks.

In subsequent company-research – executives also showed up to 28% improvement in long-term memory in speed learning trade-books, articles, reports and memos.

Directors of Human Resources in the U.S. and internationally added Speed Reading 100 to their training programs.
