Magnum's SUPER SPEED READING program is based upon and utilizes the speed reading methods developed, adapted and refined by J. Carson Kovar, who is considered a leading world authority in the field of Rapid Reading.
Over a period of 25 years, Ms. Kovar has successfully taught 20,000 men, women and children to speed read. These included Cabinet staff members of the President Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, and members of organizations such as the F.B.I., U.S. Air Force, Dept. of Defense, Social Security Administration, Army, Navy and Forest Service.
Her students also included thousands of grade school, high school and college students, as well as professionals and business executives in scores of large and small companies such as I.B.M., DuPont, N.Y. Life. Dean Witter Investment Co.
Kovar has successfully translated her special techniques and teaching examples for use on the Apple II, II+, lIe. In fact, she believes that for the average person, learning super speed reading with the aid of the computer may well be easier, and superior to attending crowded classes.
Speed Looking
Is speed reading possible for you? Well, consider this analogy. When you look at a painting, a picture in a book, or even a movie, you "speed look". You don't start at one edge, then look slowly across the picture to the opposite edge, and continue down to the bottom, do you? Of course not.
In one glance you immediately
see and understand the entire scene! Your natural ability to "speed look"
is proof you aren't limited to absorbing just a single item. (like a word)
at a time. In a similar way, the SUPER SPEED READING techniques train you
to see and absorb more. By following the course and practicing faithfully,
almost anyone from school children to college students, housewives, and business
executives can train themselves to read super fast - so they can cover their
normal reading 2 to 10 times faster, or just read more material in the same
amount of time.
Either way, you will find that fast reading is more enjoyable and also more
productive. You will discover the joys of reading novels, the newspaper and
magazines in a fraction of your former time. You'll be able to cover more
difficult books quicker than ever. You'll find that the super speed reading
techniques are invaluable when reading school assignments and taking tests.
And the business executive will save hours of valuable time when faced with
memos or articles that he must cover. Even the computerist will utilize his
new found skills to check his program listings on the screen or in printout
form. In short, on every level of reading you will spend less time and enjoy
the reading more.
How the program
works
The SUPER SPEED READING program consists of 2 color keyed disks. The Blue
teaching disk contains all the lessons, hi-res graphics and materials for
proper instruction. The Green disk holds everyone's records, the 120 pages
of story text, the bar charts and the Flash Practice area. In addition, there
is a 130 page manual written in a free flowing, friendly style and containing
many graphics. Only one disk drive is necessary with your Apple II, II +,
or lie.
Following this, you are graphically shown how to easily master the necessary new habits that will bring you success. The remaining lessons take you from one reading plateau to another revealing new techniques to continually increase your speed. During these periods you are also practicing on everyday, normal books ... reinforcing the methods taught by the program. And your comprehension is tested with special materials provided in the manual. If your comprehension has been 60% (or 70%, 80% etc.) with your old way of reading, you can certainly look for improvement once you're an accomplished speed reader.
SUPER SPEED READING is a skill you can learn just as you learned to drive a car. It's a skill that provides enjoyment for life that is useful for every member of the family - and exceedingly useful to the student or the over busy executive. At $149.00 it's probably the most valuable, personal program you can own.
