We are always at quest in finding keys to unlocking our massive brain potential. Current research estimate that we are using less than 1% of our brain potential. BrainQ’s lead coach, Richard Yiap is a licenced Buzan instructor, teaching Tony Buzan’s brain empowering techniques. Our quest is for a mentally literate world where people are able to tap into their latent creativity and unlock their vast brain potential in order to fulfill their dreams and live a more meaningful life.

That’s my challenge. Just continue reading and let me prove it to you...The average American reads at just 200 words per minute (wpm) with a 60% comprehension rate. That effectively means they’re reading 120 words every minute. Which means an average 200-page book takes SIX SOLID HOURS to finish. Do you have that time to spare? Of course not!! You need to read QUICKLY and with EXCELLENT COMPREHENSION...

Think of the advantages you could enjoy if you tripled the volume of information you read each day and increased your retention. The PowerRead Speed Reading System will teach you how to establish your current rate of reading; How to read newspapers and periodicals with high speed and efficiency; How to increase your comprehension dramatically through reading with "purpose"...

It didn't take me long to discover that children catch on to speed reading much easier and better than anybody ever expected. By September, 1997, a local school teacher invited me to teach speed reading to the kids [all aged 8-11] in one of his classes to see how well they would do. They did so well that my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

On the second day of a 4-week experiment, one 9-year old girl could read 41 pages (of a book that I had brought) in 30 seconds, and she could tell me all about what had happened in the book. At first I thought I was in the presence of one of the world's few super-geniuses. But, the next day, when 5 more kids could do just as well, I realized that I had stumbled onto a normal, and natural phenomenon: Children can be natural, gifted speed readers, if they are just shown how, and if they are allowed to use the skill on a regular basis until it becomes second nature.

What are the benefits of increasing your reading speed? Most people read at an average rate of 250 words per minute. Just 100 words per minute more means an improvement of 40%. That is equal to being able to read 12 more books a year! Take advantage of this opportunity and invest in a skill that lasts for a lifetime. *"Speed Reading is not magic"* is self-instructing software that uses computer-generated visual exercises to help you move past the perceptual habits of slower readers and become familiar with the more effective perceptual strategies and skills of faster readers.
