<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I just got a letter from my community college offering a summer reading program. The $299 program is taught by instructors from the Institute of Reading Development and it looks like the classes meet once (2 1/2 hours) a week for five weeks. I performed a Google search on the institute but no official site came up--only those of other colleges (even some prominent ones) that offer the program. I am personally a very slow reader and I usually need to reread things to understand the subject matter. My question is, have you ever tried this program? If so, how was it? Did it improve your reading speed or comprehension levels? By how much? Thanks!</p>
