VERY IMPORTANT - REQUIRES ACTION NOW. In class I promised to be your conscience ... to remind you about doing your drills, to keep you advised of my contact details for phone-support and to send you course updates, advisories about refresher courses and new drills & techniques to help you continue your progress. But to do so, I need you to Opt-In to my Graduate Bulletin Service - it's free - to obviate my being accused of sending you unsolicited mail.

Refresher Courses

As an ExecuRead Graduate, you may redo any lesson or the entire ExecuRead course in order to refresh or further advance your skills. Presently, there is no charge for this privilege. We will send you periodic notices about future courses in your area to enable you to plan to attend refresher lessons. Remember, refresher courses are for those who wish to further improve their skills AND for those who think they may have got a bit rusty and need some help in getting back on track.

Referrals

It is human nature to talk about new experiences. No doubt you will talk about having done the ExecuRead course and what this has meant to you. You may even refer a friend or colleague to the course. If so, following these guidelines will put cash in YOUR pocket and save your friends some money as well. When referring friends or co-workers to the course, send us an email with your friend's name and email address.

Then, when one of your referral registers for the course AND mentions being referred by you, he/she will automatically receive a $25 discount* on the course fee. At the same time, we will send you a check for $25. The bottom line is that every referral has a potential value of $25 to you and $25 to a friend or co-worker of yours. You use it or lose it. If you enjoyed this course and benefited from it, you can promote ExecuRead for free or you can tap into some money.

* This discount may not be combined with any other discounts or special offers.

Daily Practice

Acquiring a new skill is not a one-day effort. If it's going to benefit you every day of your life, you need to invest in that skill, every day of your life. Just like a blade needs to be honed regularly to maintain its sharpness, so does your hi-speed reading skill. At least ONCE PER DAY, do a 3-2-1 exercise (drill 1 in the manual) and / or a practice-read-practice-read  exercise. And once a week, check your speed with a 2-4-5 exercise (drill 4 in the manual).

Read, Read, Read

Your immediate goal should be to read at least 1 elective book per week. A 400-page book with 400wpp, read at only 1000wpm only requires 160 minutes of reading time PER WEEK. That's less than 25 minutes per day. At 2000wpm that's less than 12 minutes per day .... to complete 1 book a week, 52 books in a year. That's 10 times more books than the average college graduate will read in a life-time. It's easy, but only if you set your mind to it, practice every day and apply just a tiny bit of discipline.

To assist you, here is a list of books which I really enjoyed, some of which are very visual and which lend themselves to faster reading rates. Good Luck & Good Reading.
