Meet And Train Launches Elearning Speed Reading Course In Its Small Business Training Portal

Feb. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Harrisville, RI — Meet And Train (www.MeetAndTrain.com) announced today the launch and general availability of a first of its kind eLearning computer based course designed to rapidly improve reading speed and comprehension. Titled “Rev It Up Reading: Getting Up to Speed With What You Read.”, the course is available for immediate purchase and a free demo at www.revitupreading.com.

Rev It Up Reading is the brainchild of Abby Marks Beale, principal of The Corporate Educator.  Marks Beale is a noted speaker and the author of several publications including “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Speed Reading”, “10 Days to Faster Reading”, “Success Skills: Strategies for Study and Lifelong Learning”.  She also taught “Speed Reading: Read More in Less Time” for three years as an online course for Barnes and Noble University.

“We decided to partner with Meet And Train to develop ‘Rev It Up Reading: Getting Up to Speed With What You  Read’ because of their experience with developing custom content, and their ability to deliver a complete eLearning solution for The Corporate Educator.” says Marks Beale “It has been a pleasure working with the team, and I am thrilled with the results.”

Rev It Up Reading is a simple to use interactive, computer based curriculum that takes the student through a variety of learning modules via a step-by-step process and teaches them to increase reading speed and comprehension, as well as reading confidence and competence. The course includes solid tips for effectively and efficiently conquering even most challenging reading material.

“Using the analogy of a stick shift with five-gears, many readers are stuck in first or second gear.  Primarily it’s because they haven’t been taught how to get into the higher gears – for most people, the last time they received any reading instruction was in elementary school!” explains Marks Beale.  “This course is appropriate for anyone, at any age, who may be interested in improving their reading skills and reading comprehension.  It will help anyone reach their reading potential, which includes the ability to use all five gears and in turn, become a more confident, and competent reader.”  

Class participants are also able to receive mentoring from Marks Beale and also email her with questions without ever leaving the course. In addition, the course offers a comprehensive follow up program that encourages students to put the techniques they learned to work in their everyday reading material – from newspapers, to books, to online content, this program can help anyone, at any level, to become a faster and more confident reader.

“We’re excited about The Corporate Educator’s innovative eLearning course and the results it produces” explains Matt Crowshaw, President of Meet And Train – and producer of the Rev It Up Reading eLearning course. “The combination of Abby’s expertise and the Small Business Training Portal allows completely automated content delivery 24x7. Small Business Training Portals are completely customizable for any type of eLearning program and The Corporate Educator’s Rev It Up Reading program is now available to the general public through world-class technology for a fraction of the cost.”

“In addition to retail availability through www.RevItUpReading.com, Meet and Train plans to notify its corporate clients of the program’s availability through their own in house Learning Management Systems (LMS)” explains Matt Crowshaw. “After all, the ability to read and comprehend rapidly can significantly impact productivity in the workplace and we believe that all of our clients should include this program as part of their eLearning package.”
