BUZAN SPEED READING WORKSHOP (schools, colleges, universities/tafes)
This one-day program continues the learning journey into Speed Reading, which commenced in the Buzan Study Skills Workshop and continued in the Buzan Mind Maps Workshop. It commences with a review of the problems and consequences of poor reading speeds and how we actually read. The rest of the workshop consists of a series of structured activities and exercises which steadily build participants' reading speeds and confidence in their ability to develop enhanced comprehension of the material read. Note that the Buzan Memory Training Workshop provides the opportunity to take learning to it final stages of memorisation and recall.
Participants will also learn/review and apply the unique BOST® (Buzan Organic Study Technique) which was designed specifically by Tony Buzan. The intention is to empower students to make appropriate selections from their expanding study skills arsenal thereby giving them the flexibility and confidence to stay on top of their studies and power ahead to achieve their academic goals.
Your workshop facilitator will be Will Naicker who has trained with Tony Buzan and is a Buzan Licensed Instructor.
