Improve Your Reading Speed and Comprehension (Udemy.com)

Some great information obtained throughout this course. I appreciate that the information was made clear by providing verbal and on screen examples, short tests between sections and the stye of communication which almost felt like it could have been a conversation rather than being spoken at. Thank you and I shall be taking these tips on board, starting with a fiction book I'm yet to complete! Fingers crossed and with some consistency, I'll obtain my goal of being able to read faster, comprehend the information and develop my vocabulary.

I completed this course a few weeks back and I am pleased to say that it had a notable impact on my reading skills. The practical techniques shared by Ronald have been invaluable, making it easy to apply what I've learned. I took this course to enhance my reading comprehension, but I am pleasantly surprised by the additional benefits I gained.

It was great! The concepts and practical activities are teached in a way that's both engaging to listen to and watch, as well as to try and implement on our reading routines! Thank you for the course and knowledge!

Yes, the way the tutor explains and his experience in teaching, his calmness and eagerness to teach,all these things really add on and improve my learning experience. Learning is quick and easy all thanks to the tutor.

Great course that I'm eager to put to use. Ron provided useful techniques that are simple to understand in an efficient format. I liked how he emphasized the most important factors to success throughout the course to drive those points home.

I always having a problem with comprehensive reading; even I read a lot, I couldn't remember what I got after finishing any book. So, this course in a perfect match for me. I learned some tips since Section 1 and hopefully learn more until the last section.

I understand the step process, but for a person in their later years (almost 60) I found them confounding and irritating honestly. If you want to improve your understanding and cognitive reading for work or ESL, I suppose the steps are more in-line with the learning process. Just was not a fit for me.

Yes, it's been a long time since i thought about comprehension, but more how to get something out of reading. This course helped to remember something and learn others.

This course provides what it promises -- effective instruction and guidance to help one improve reading speed and comprehension. Lessons are clear and immediately practicable. I wish this course had been available when I was a student! I especially appreciate this course's prioritization of comprehension and retention over speed, because meaningful reading (beyond mere decoding) occurs only to the extent that comprehension occurs; speed follows primarily as one gets better and faster at comprehending. This course shows how to do all of this effectively while increasing the fun of reading. This course applies to both fiction and non-fiction reading, which is great; but for my purposes I found that the course's approach to non-fiction reading focused too much on the sorts of "textbooky" sources typically encountered by young students -- the kind of sources that have the text broken up generously with plenty of headings and subheadings that act as signposts to guide the reader through the text's meaning. As an adult long past my school days, I had hoped this course would provide more advice about dealing with the materials I usually read now -- challenging texts, often with no headings nor subheadings beyond chapter titles. This issue is relevant to this course because many of this course's recommendations involve using headings and subheading for things like previewing and generating questions to guide one's reading; it's not clear how to apply this course's teachings to challenging non-fiction material that doesn't have headings and subheadings breaking up the text. Overall, this is an excellent course that delivers what it promises; and the instructor is helpful and engaging.

I'm a mid career IT professional who just started college. I became lost as I felt like I wasn't comprehending or retaining knowledge from my studies. While I get by fine in reading/writing emails and conversing with my co-workers, these work-related skills did not translate to my studies nearly as much as I expected. I decided to go back to the basics and find guidance for enhancing my reading and comprehension skills. This course was everything I needed. I wrote 6 pages of notes during the course for continuous reference as I proceed through my studies. This course is thoughtfully constructed and executed perfectly by the instructor. I highly recommend enrolling if you are looking for functional tools and techniques to improve your ability to read faster and comprehend more.
