In order for academic reading to be effective, it needs to be a combination of efficient (in terms of speed and retention), strategic (appropriately targeted) and critical. This hugely popular workshop will equip you with a range of tools to help you to read more quickly, more strategically and more critically. This workshop is delivered using live drawing, a training method that offers huge advantages for learner retention - find out more about our use of live drawing in L&D sessions.
Aims of the workshop
The workshop will introduce:
- Techniques to increase speed of reading, comprehension and retention including dealing with complex and difficult material
- Ways to improve information selection, absorption, retention and recall.
- Methods and questions to improve your critical reading strategies and habits.
- There will be a small amount (1 hour max) of pre-work for this course that will be sent out about a week before the event.
