The Learning Center is excited to announce our newly redesigned Online Self-Paced Speed Reading Course! Students who enroll in the course can expect to increase their reading speed and save time! Course registrants will have access to our Speed Reading software for a full year so they can continue to improve on their own after the course is complete, and students who complete the class will have access to ongoing reading skills support as long as they're at UNT. 

The LC's Online Speed-Reading Program can help you improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your reading by:

• Increasing your reading speed

• Training in speed reading techniques via hands-on instruction and computer program exercises

• Gaining techniques and strategies to support your reading comprehension

Topics covered include: foundations of speed-reading techniques, peripheral vision, phrase reading, how students learn best, and comprehension and memory strategies. 

How does the class work?

• In this online class, you determine your own pace. This course is accessable through your Canvas page throughout the academic year in which you enroll.

• This class does not appear on your transcript or affect your GPA.
