Introduction
Ordinary reading skills won’t do in today’s world because there is too
much information and too little time to assimilate it. If you read at the
average speed of 250 words per minute, you’re at a major disadvantage
trying to take in the facts and concepts you need to perform well in
school or on the job. For that matter, you’re at a severe disadvantage
even at speeds of 400–600 words per minute—a rate that’s in the top
range for the most experienced students and adults.
So what is the solution to this dilemma?
After years of experience as an educator and publishing executive, I’ve
become convinced that the techniques we’ve developed at Evelyn Wood
are by far the best response to the information explosion. Furthermore,
our approach provides the fastest, most effective path to superior
academic achievement.
For the first time in a book for the general public, I’m unveiling all the
secrets that have made the completely revised Evelyn Wood dynamic
learning program so effective and popular. As a result of this candor, we
hope to introduce millions of additional people to the exciting
possibilities of Mental Soaring, as I call the dynamic learning experience.
Our goal for the nation’s students is bold, to say the least: We want
record numbers to achieve “supersonic” reading skills and honors-level
academic performance. Yet I’m convinced that this goal can be realized
if you practice the principles set forth in these pages.
High school and college students and their parents will initially evince
the most interest in this book. On the other hand, even fifth-graders have
been very successful in employing our reading and learning techniques.
As for adults, men and women of all ages and in every occupation can
benefit, especially from the discussions on speed reading, improving
comprehension and scientific note-taking. And of course, there are
millions of adults who have taken the original Evelyn Wood courses over

the years and who may want to brush up on old skills or perhaps learn
new ones.
Now, as you prepare for the exciting adventure of Mental Soaring, I
want to encourage you to leave behind all your preconceptions about
reading, learning, studying and academic achievement. There are no
ceilings to what you can accomplish so long as you’re ready and willing
to let the natural power of your mind move you toward a new realm of
intellectual reality.
Stanley D. Frank, Ed.D.
