GET THE BIG PICTURE - FAST!

How does the AstraLab methodology work to improve information processing?

It develops your:
  • Technical reading ability by improving word recognition and eye speed.
  • Logical, sequential thinking through the improved linguistic connectivity in the seat of language in your brain. Fluent readers are fluent thinkers. This connectivity can improve for as long as you live and continue to read.
  • High-speed information processing by improving your reading speed and word recognition.
  • Big-picture conceptualisation through quicker information processing. This helps you get to the broad message of text faster, gaining access to the main idea a lot more efficiently.


  • Why AstraLab Reading Edge works

    AstraLab Reading Edge gets you reading at thought speed, which is much faster than eye speed. Your reading speed is dependent on the efficiency of your eye movements. The AstraLab Reading Edge gets your eyes to move at the maximum possible speed, beyond your own expectations. When you read, your eyes transfer words from page to mind. Reflexively you recognise the words. Your mind then interprets the phrases they form into concepts. The sooner you connect the first word to the eighth word or the twelfth, the sooner your mind has an idea to grasp. More practice, more speed. Along with that, your word recognition improves dramatically. The closer you get to the speed of your thoughts, the better you can process information.




    This course will be of great benefit to professionals in a variety of fields, from attorneys and doctors to CEOs and managers, as well as students.

    How does the AstraLab Reading Edge program work?

    You simply install the CD on your PC. Each one has its own licence, and will guide you through the installation process. To access the reading content you simply click on the appropriate icons. You do the same to get to the interactive tests.

    If you have a number of people you would like to put through the course, you can purchase a multi-user version to install on your corporate network.
