Rick Ostrov has spent years teaching, working with and researching the top speedreading programs from around the world. Throughout his more than 30 years of instructing and research, personally teaching thousands of professionals, students, educators and families, he has distilled the most effective techniques into his Power Reading course.
Power Reading is totally different than any other program because it teaches you in your own material while you actually study or read for school, work or for your own enjoyment!
The Power Reading course focuses on increasing comprehension and study and technical reading skills, as well as teaching people how to read faster. Emphasis is placed on understanding and being able to use information as well as speedreading. Included are the most up to date and effective techniques for study, note taking, test taking, presentation and retention.
Power Reading, as thousands of successful students have discovered, is the most effective speedreading and comprehension course ever developed!

About the Author
Rick's students read like a list of executives from Americas largest companies - IBM, AT&T, GM - and so on. In addition, he's taught scientists, doctors, lawyers, teachers, secretaries, blue collar workers and thousands of and students.
He is most famous for the documentary done on his class where he taught the entire engineering faculty - 63 Ph.D.'s-full professors - of the University of Texas in Austin. This documentary was used by the world's largest private reading improvement company of which Rick was the top instructor. This was the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics company. For years Rick was also the star in their television commercials.
Rick left them to pursue his research for more effective methods in reading practical, technical and study type materials. He felt that a heavy emphasis on skimming and scanning in relatively easy materials was conventional but not effective enough for practical, technical and study applications. After years of research and development, Rick created Power Reading: The best, fastest, easiest, most effective course on speedreading and comprehension ever developed!
