"Since I love to read and consider it my hobby, I really didn't think this class would have much impact. But because it meant I could read for an additional two hours for six weeks, I was looking forward to it. Was I ever in for a surprise! Even though I didn't really spend a lot of time on the Eye-Hop exercises, my speed and comprehension (reading effectiveness) went from 112 the first week to 923 on week six. The most important thing I learned was to trust myself- a concept that will certainly serve me well in other areas of my life. Thanks Ron!" Carol G. Manager, Amdahl Education Solutions R.E. went from 112 to 923
“SuperReading gave me greater focus in my reading. It is an excellent class. I practiced the techniques and saw my speed and comprehension improve.” -Sonia.J., Product Development Manager, H.P.
“ I loved reading before I began the class, and I still love it! My favorite parts were learning to use my finger, mind-mapping, Ron's passion (he loves what he does), the quotes Ron sent in his Emails, confirmation that a small daily effort plus diligence can truly affect the quality of one's life. It really doesn't take that much effort to change once you really start the process. No matter how fast one reads, one can benefit from this course to read even faster and comprehend even more. These skills are valuable to me because they free up more time for me to think creatively, rather than to have to spend it plowing through my Email.” Rebecca R., Senior International Product Manager, Remedy Corp RE went from 230 to 1440
“Very good materials and the instructor was very good. I think it's a great class for anyone who wants to improve their ability to learn or grow.” Robert O., Engineering Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 125 to 873
Dear Ron, “Thanks for presenting me with all the new methods for improving my reading speed & comprehension. Also, thanks for the realization that attitude is very important. The affirmations and positive thinking in class, and in the reading material, was a good blend. Your frequent Email reminders helped me to stay focused.” Doug K., Apple Computer, Inc. RE went from 82 to 502
“The SuperReading techniques and exercises helped sharpen my reading and comprehension skills, particularly in recall. All the tools required are provided. The materials are excellent. Take it!” Cheryl D., Supervisor, H.P. R.E. went from 160 to 527
Dear Ron, “SuperReading rocks! I really appreciated the two hours a week we spent together in class. If nothing else, I was motivated to improve my reading and myself. I’m generally a very positive person, but actually having someone tell you they believe in you really makes a difference. I read a lot and the skills I learned in this class will be very useful. Keep up the good work!” Kirk M. System Admin. Supervisor Altera Corp.
“My reading speed went up by more than four times, while maintaining comprehension. Do not hesitate, take this course. It is well worth the time and effort.” -Kay T., Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 169 to 615
“Reading has always seemed to be a chore for me, but after taking your class, it has become fun! Before taking your course, I read very slowly and didn't feel I comprehended much. Now, I read much more quickly and retain what I've read. Thanks, Ron.” Bert P., Program Manager, Cisco Systems R.E. went from 46 to 372
“Taking Ron's class has given me the foundation I need for becoming the speed reader I want to become. I shall continue to practice until I am able to read faster than I even anticipated.” Glenda L., Program Manager, Cisco Systems R.E. went from 112 to 750
“The most useful part of the course was that it increased my speed and comprehension. Ron is a great teacher with lots of enthusiasm, patience and good humor. I can't think of any way he can improve! He's great!” Joseph K. Alza Pharmaceutical, Inc.
“I was essentially a "lazy" reader before, with middling comprehension. Now, with the techniques learned from SuperReading, I have better comprehension and am no longer a lazy reader. Now I can pay attention to reading for longer periods and remember details that I never could before. Thanks, Ron, this should continue to provide business benefits to me, and my firm, for years to come. Tom D. Skills Leader, SSD, IBM RE went from 121 to 436
I have learned techniques that have helped me to concentrate and comprehend what I read: Email, journals and contracts. Excellent materials. Take the class and work on homework. -Gordon M., Software Acquisition Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 140 to 462
The skills learned in this class have helped me focus better when reading. I feel more alert when reading and am gathering more information.” Dan Chan Product Applications Manager Xilinx, Inc. RE went from 69 to 727
“SuperReading has helped me to increase my comprehension and retention of material. I can read newspaper articles much faster. The reading material used in class is great and I encourage others to take the course. Also, Ron is a very positive person and sets a good example for us all.” -Marguerita S., Supply Chain Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 150 to 460
“I mostly recited the words in my head. Now I see word blocks. I expect to improve on what I have already improved.” Rick A. Component Commodity Manager, IBM Day 1 RE score: 17 Day 35 RE score: 320
“I used to take a good two hours to read the Sunday Morning News. Now I take less than one hour. Given time and practice I can do better.” P. Ho Day 1 RE score: 51 Day 35 RE score: 315
“Reading for me was a dull task. I could barely focus for over half an hour. Reading now has a different meaning. Now I know what to look for when I’m reading. My favorite part of the class was the unexpected exercises, the instructor’s sense of humor and personality. Time is of an essence, and any method which saves time is critical to my work (and life) performance. I would like others to understand that practice is everything.” Kamal K.Applications Manager Xilinx, Inc.
“I do technical reading, Email, journals and the occasional novel. This course increased my speed and comprehension. Good class. Do the homework.” -Clint R., Manufacturing Engineer Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 167 to 720
“I more than quadrupled my speed while maintaining my comprehension at or near 100%! I read novels, trade journals and newspapers. I highly recommend the SuperReading course.” - Jeff V., Enterprise Knowledge Consulting Manager, H.P.
I'm reading smarter, and I can get through reading material faster so I have more time to do other things. I read papers from work, magazines, the newspaper and E-mail. Take the class, but be sure to keep up with the reading exercises!” -Jasmine R., Network Support Engineering Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 64 to 444
“Reading is fun! I highly recommend this course for everyone. I enjoy my leisure reading more, it's more like watching a movie. I can absorb and retain more information in my technical reading. As an added benefit I can organize my thoughts better, which makes me a better communicator. But the most important thing that I have learned from this course is a more focused ability to listen, absorb and retain. Because of this heightened awareness my relationship with my girlfriend has improved dramatically and that is the most important thing to me. Thank you, Ron, you are a great teacher.” With much appreciation, Jim Connolly President, Team Builders
“The skills learned in this class have helped me focus better when reading. I feel more alert when reading and am gathering more information.” Dan Chan Product Applications Manager Xilinx, Inc. RE went from 69 to 727.

Prior to taking this course, reading was a chore and tiring. I would read material and get sleepy. Since I took the course, my reading speed has tripled and I don't get as tired. I found the memorization module very useful.” -Mike A., Application Engineering Manager, HP
“…Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the development of the …material! I will definitely do more reading at work and at home now that my speed has increased, and I look forward to further improvement.” -Doug H., Engineering Manager, HP R.E. went from 186 to 585
“Please accept my thanks for your guidance through your most provocative course in SuperReading. My thoughts when I first heard of your course was that it was just another one of "those" speed reading courses. Since I thought I was already a faster than average reader, I had my reservations as to your claim about tripling. But you were right! I was impressed with the variety of techniques used, not just to increase speed, but to improve comprehension, better memory, change your attitude and build confidence. I realized you need to work on all those things to achieve the results you want. Since I finished the course, I have continued to use the skills I learned to save time in my business and enjoy more pleasure reading as well. The best part of the class was that it was fun. It was fast paced, interesting, challenging and well presented. You've put together a good course, Ron. I'm looking forward to sending my two boys to your class!” Sincerely, G. Robby President, Aydius Corp.
“Being able to read fast has always fascinated me. This is probably so because I come from a family of readers. My parents read two newspapers every day and my father collected books. My wife and my daughter can go with me to a bookstore and spend hours going through books. When the opportunity to take this class came through and even an E-mail message, I jumped on it. I have seen my reading speed quadruple and want to continue until the point when I can read the thin newspaper and magazine columns as fast as I can be in a "vertical drop" mode. My first real test of SuperReading came last weekend when I went through three chapters of my new textbook and a rate of about two minutes per page. I don't have a good measure for this to compare, but I estimate that before taking this class my time would have easily been quadrupled.” Jaime T., Manager of Design Systems, Advanced Micro Devices R.E. went from 93 to 400
“Dear Ron, I was reading slow with a low comprehension before the reading class. I needed to go through the reading materials twice or more in order to achieve better understanding. In the SuperReading program, I find the techniques of Preview, Visualization and Review help my comprehension a lot. The hopping exercises helped me to speed up my reading many times and keep up my comprehension. The positive thinking and relaxed environment are great and make the learning easy and fun! D. Wong, Senior Program Manager, GaSonics International R.E. went from 53 to 267
Ron, “Thanks for all of your help. I’ve been able to read faster with better comprehension since taking your class. In my job I read a lot of technical documents and I now I look forward to applying these techniques you have taught us.” Jason Lawley Applications Manager Xilinx, Inc. RE went from 48 to 468
“This course was much more than an improvement-of-reading series of exercises. It’s a well-thought-out, planned and organized attack on one's mind limitations. Ron spent a lot of time and effort on attitude improvement, not just skills. He emphasized preparation for reading, readiness to receive information, training to focus on what you read just as much as the techniques for effective reading: pre-viewing, note taking, retelling (parroting), reading itself and reviewing. The SuperReading manual is also a great help. It organizes tracking of daily eye hopping exercises and reading practices, as well as all scores for reading tests showing weekly progress. The instructions in the manual are concise and well-written, and followed by the most humorous multiple-choice tests I've ever encountered. Good humor and very positive classroom atmosphere made this course not only a very effective speed and comprehension enhancer, but also a very pleasant learning experience.” Vladimir Starov, Director of Research, GaSonics International R.E. went from 114 to 471
To whom it may concern: “Ron Cole's SuperReading and Goal-Setting course of study have been of great help to me personally and in my work. The courses produced results very quickly and they met or exceeded my expectations. Ron conducts the courses with good spirit and humor. He entertains his classes while challenging them aggressively. I would recommend Ron Cole's classes to anyone seriously interested in improving his or her progress toward goal achievement.” Sincerely, Gary R. Senior Director, Applied Materials
“The SuperReading course was a dream come true. I have always wanted to read faster and comprehend more without getting distracted and bored. I can attest to this happening. With a minimum of practice each day my reading speed has more than doubled. I now feel more confident in my reading and would not hesitate to be tested on it. This really works.” Connie O., Supervisor, Corporate Mailing Services, Advanced Micro Devices
“Your SuperReading course has definitely opened my eyes to greater possibilities- not only in reading at greater speed with greater comprehension- but also how the "internal dialogue" we carry on with ourselves stimulates or retards our progress toward our goals. Thanks!” Margaret W. Training Coordinator, Unisys Corporation
“Useful techniques are provided to greatly improve speed and comprehension. This is not a quick fix. Effort is required on the part of the student. Do the exercises and you'll get a lot out of this class.” C. Ferrigno Program Coordinator, Sun Microsystems R.E. went from 136 to 545
“This course works! Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. However, the time spent is a small investment toward a huge return. All you have to do is listen, trust and practice.” D. Drumm, Technical Support Supervisor, Gasonics International
“Slow, tedious, not always "getting it"... Those words describe my reading style before SuperReading. Now, reading is enjoyable and fast with fantastic comprehension.” A. Pate, Electronic Marketing Manager, HP R.E. went from 70 to 623
“I thought this class was lots of fun. I particularly enjoyed tracking my progress and your daily email messages. I used some of the eye hop stories and "thoughts for the day" with my staff, as they are being "excessed". (Their jobs are being outsourced). Your inspirational messages are appreciated! I would definitely recommend this class, although my biggest fear is losing it and going back to old ingrained habits.” Patrice P. Manager, HP R.E. went from 77 to 711
Dear Ron, “Prior to participating in the SuperReading Program, I would frequently find myself re-reading articles, books and email messages numerous times in order to comprehend the material. Since taking your SuperReading course, my comprehension has drastically improved as well as my reading speed. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and look forward continuing to improve my reading skills. Kudos to Ron!” Gail A. Manager, Novell
I feel that I have increased my speed, learned how to improve my comprehension, and have expanded the set of reading tools available to me. The more I practice, the more enjoyable this way of reading becomes! Thank You!” Eric C., Manager, IDSS, Remedy Corp
“Dear Ron, Thank you for your teaching skills. Being very enthusiastic and genuinely interested in teaching the class made it comfortable and easier to learn and pick up the skills. My reading speed has increased along with my comprehension. My concentration and memory skills have also improved quite a bit. I really enjoyed the Eye-Hop articles.” Sincerely, Cheri S. Manufacturing System Supervisor Altera Corp.

The Eye Hops were great. Instead of reading “a” word at a time, I can now read 5 words at a time. Training the eyes to read faster- what a concept! I love to read, so now I can enjoy it more. In the last class, during that crazy exercise, I learned not to be afraid of the book. It let me see that completing the book was possible. I went through that book about 20 times during that exercise and actually picked up lots of information. Thanks for everything.” Jose G. North America Technical Support Manager, Amdahl Corp.
Dear Robert, “ I have always felt my reading is good, but not fast enough without the level of comprehension. I’ve enjoyed the eyehops and previewing and actually have gotten used to using my finger! I feel I am reading with much more comprehension- scanning sometimes eliminates the need for “reading.” There are innovative techniques in this program that are very different from other speed reading courses. These skills are valuable simply from the volume of reading necessary.” Tana Marie CEO, Strategies For Success
“I was a slow reader and usually and usually had to re-read the material to reinforce the key retention of key points. I like the techniques taught in class. They helped me to increase my speed and retention. I am picking up speed and I have better comprehension. Everyone should learn the techniques which should be used all the time. The techniques are the keys to reading with effectiveness!” Catherine N. Corporate Credit Manager, Amdahl R.E. went from 20 to 288
“My comprehension was very poor when I started. Thus my speed was ever slowing by trying to increase comprehension. I was reading around 150 words per minute. This class gave me the tools to begin increasing my comprehension while not sacrificing speed. The previewing techniques helped to set my mind for the read. The eye-hops helped to train my eye muscles and group word recognition, thus increasing my speed. My mind used to wander while I read. Following my finger and pattern reading helps me to focus on the activity and keep my mind focused. I wasn’t able to do the homework assignments and eye-hops as much as required and thus I feel my reading speed and comprehension might be better. Building the confidence factor definitely helped both comprehension and testing. If these techniques were taught to children at an early age, I believe they would read earlier, faster and study/test better. I will continue to practice the eye-hops and then repeat the course on the Rocket-eBook to improve my skills.” Jeff R. IT Director, Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc.
“Speed reading tactics are very useful. I have improved my reading performance enormously. Note taking and memory suggestions are also very useful.” B. Matsuzaki Tactical Marketing Manager, Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc.
“Before the course I had to re-read a lot. I had triple vision and read about one book per month. Now I seldom have to re-read, I have no blurred vision, and I’m reading one book every 2.5 days with part-time reading. In the past, I would have read and re-read so few pages, I always felt frustrated in how little progress I made. Plus my eyes would be seeing triple lines after just a short time of reading. Thanks to Super Reading, my eyes are in great shape while I read and afterwards as well. It’s been great. “ Bob W. Continuous Improvement Coordinator, Atmel Corp R.E. went from 133 to 864
Dear Robert, “I have always thought of myself as a good student, but a slow reader. This has deterred me from doing as much reading as I would like. I have at least a dozen books at home that I planned to read, but have not because I could not dedicate the time. I realized that I could read faster and retain more when we did the exercise with the “Boxcar” books. This is when I began to trust myself to “go for it” when I read. My improvement has been slow, but I am pleased with it, and I plan to continue practicing. I will get through all those books. (the other students have inspired me!) I am considering changing jobs, maybe even changing my career. This may require me to go back to school at some point, so effective reading is essential to my future success. Thanks for encouraging my children. I am MOST pleased with their growth in the last 6 weeks. I will encourage them to continue as well. Best regards,” Laynette Evans HR Manager LucentTtechnologies
“I improved my speed and comprehension and my general reading confidence. I get through the reading volume faster with better understanding. Take the course! It's a good investment of time for your self-improvement. The instructor was very competent and explained the concepts thoroughly.” -Gary K., Program Manager, H.P. R.E. went from 142 to 740
“Before the class it took me longer to comprehend information. Now my comprehension is increased and I’m doing it faster. By following the basic techniques I can save time in daily work due to faster and easier reading. Ron, I thank you for giving me these skills. I would like to see where my skills are in a few months from now.” Prashanth B. Manager, Systems Verification Group Xilinx, Inc
“Simple but effective techniques help achieve results that are truly unbelievable.” Ray A. Director, Engineering Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc.
“Before class, way before class (say 2 years ago) I read everyday, books that I wanted to read. I had the time. Now I do NOT have the time and I missed not being able to complete books (about 1 to 1.5 books a month). Now that I’ve completed this course I see that I can go back and read, not only one book per month, but 3 to 4. That’s exciting!
“Dear Ron, Thank you so much for all the encouragement and positive Emails that have assisted me in “staying on track” with the class. Like everything, “practice makes perfect.” I look forward to using all the skills you’ve given me. Thanks again!” Debbie C. Finance, POS Supervisor Altera Corp.
“I enjoyed reading a lot before the class but did not remember, especially from novels. Now I read much faster than I ever imagined I could and I remember more of what I have read. I enjoy reading more now and am able to get through required reading (Emails, etc.) quicker. This has given me more time to think and perform the strategic part of my job which is really the fun part. Bottom line- this class has increased my enjoyment of work since I can go through reading faster. This in turn gives me more time for other pursuits because I no longer need to take reports, etc. home to read. I can now get it all done at work.” Patrick K. University Program Manager Xilinx, Inc. RE went from 115 to 1600
