Mindful Speed Reading Workshop for High Schoolers (taking the SAT/ACT)
This event is expired.
Tests don't only measure what you know....they measure how well you take tests.
While most students studying for the SAT and ACT focus energy on content mastery and test-taking strategy, they typically avoid TIME MANAGEMENT or embodying an OPTIMAL MINDSET. When these aspects are in check, however, they provide more ease and calm and lead to test-taking success. They also happen to be the easiest and quickest methods to learn, and when incorporated, will improve ones score. We teach these techniques several times a year through our workshop, MindFlow.
We began offering our MindFlow to students in New York City 13 years ago and then introduced it to Bay Area students in the past few years. MindFlow teaches speed reading and mindful protocols to increase students' reading speeds and to improve their mindset. While students learn ways keep their cool under extreme pressure they also learn techniques to increase speed without sacrificing comprehension. In fact, participants report that after MindFlow, their comprehension, retention, and recall IMPROVE!
MindFlow students learn to identify how an essay flows, how to easily spot the main idea, and where important facts are found. Time saved by reading fast prompts more time for students to think critically and consistently leads to higher ACT/SAT scores. In fact: MindFlow students average a 14% increase on reading comprehension questions. Plus, skills learned are also powerful and relevant for high school, college....and life.
MindFlow participants learn how to:
- Improve time management
- Build self confidence
- Eliminate test anxiety and panic
- Implement effective test taking strategies
- Increase reading speed up to 5x
- Boost reading comprehension/critical reading performance (and scores) an average of 13%

Testimonial:
"I'm totally geeking out. I'm having so much fun with the speed reading skills [MindFlow has] taught me. Normally, I might read about one scholarly article a month and struggle through it. I read four tonight (and even skimmed a few others) and thoroughly enjoyed them! What is most surprising to me is that my comprehension and memory has INCREASED! That is shocking to me. I was hoping to retain comprehension and memory but never expected them to increase! In any case, I am able to read, absorb and remember much more information and am having more fun reading. Thank you!" -Amanda
"My daughter came home ecstatic. She was gushing that the MindFlow workshop gave her an edge in taking the SAT. She said it was worth every penny and more." -Ellis, SAT MindFlow student
"I always ran out of time on the SAT. I read slowly and didn't have enough time to put as much thought into the questions as I wanted to, but by reading faster I can now get the passage out of the way and have more time to answer the questions." - Nate, SAT MindFlow student
Our next MindFlow workshop for high school students is October 28th. Join us for a fun filled, fast paced day of learning and skills development. For the test, school...and life!
