Mindsystems announce a joint venture the The Literacy Company
October 12, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Mindsystems is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with The Literacy Company (TLC). Their product, The Reader's Edge® (TRE), is the best speed reading program sold today and we can prove it! See the Top Ten Review’s rating of The Reader's Edge. http://speed-reading-software-review.toptenreviews.com/What Does ‘The Reader’s Edge’ Teach?
TLC teaches how to unlearn the habits of less efficient readers and learn the habits and skills of Fluent Readers – Effective and Efficient Speed Readers.
Less efficient readers read one word at a time with eye fixation and vocalization of each word as they read. This limits the rate at which they can read to the rate at which they can speak… not the rate at which the brain works which is many times faster.
Efficient readers, Fluent Readers, read more than one word at a time, groups of words, with each eye fixation and do not vocalize words as they go: Fluent Reader’s read at the speed of the brain.
How Does ‘The Reader’s Edge’ Facilitate Reading in Groups of Words?
The first two of TRE’s ten Fluent Reading Exercises present two-word to eight-word phrases, at User-controlled rates. After a few minutes with these two exercises User’s realize that they have the capability of reading 3 to 5 times their normal reading speed. The words in these phrases are composed of TLC's proprietary Prime Words. Prime Words have three main characteristics; (1) they are immediately recognizable, (2) they do not need decoding and (3) the eye does not fixate on them.
TLC developed their Prime Words by conducting a frequency analysis of 548,000,000 words from some 13,000 books in the Guttenberg Collection. The results were that 1,600 words compose 75% of all the words in print. If you add 300 to 500 words from professional/business areas, then 90% of everything you will ever read in your personal or professional/business life will be composed of less then 2,500 words. TRE helps to make these Prime Words part of your everyday vocabulary.
