You are about to enjoy a new experience in reading and learning. This program is capable of opening wide the door to an entirely new learning world for you. How far that door is opened depends on you.
This program can and will develop new skills for you: skills that increase your reading speed dramatically, increase your reading comprehension, develop better recall ability, and create a greater awareness that, very simply, makes you a better learner in all areas.
You must understand that a skill, and reading is a skill, can be developed only with practice. You must use the program, and you must practice.
The program is Audio-Tutorial. This means that the program will tell you what to do at every step. A tape recorder acts as your tutor, leading your through the program, step by step. You can imagine a tutor standing in front of you, in person, guiding you as if he or she were your private instructor.
Enjoy this great learning experience. Be persistent and consistent. Commit yourself to using the program, and most of all, think about the exciting skills you will be learning and using the rest of your life. GOOD LUCK!

Developer
To successfully attain any goal, especially the development of a new skill, you must take some fundamental steps, mentally and physically:
STEP ONE: Determine specifically what you want to achieve. Dedicate and commit yourself mentally and physically to the attainment of your goal.
STEP TWO: Plan your progress carefully; set the time, day by day, that you will practice with the program. Beforehand, develop a plan that will ensure that you complete the program by a specific deadline.
STEP THREE: Taking the first two steps will create a burning desire for the attainment of the skills. Desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. Desire implants Success Consciousness and leads to a Habit of Success.
STEP FOUR: Never doubt that you will develop the skills you desire. Never give mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths instead of your weaknesses, your power instead of your problems. This will develop Supreme Confidence in yourself.
STEP FIVE: Develop a dogged determination to follow through with your plans, regardless of any obstacle, criticism, or circumstance, or what anyone else may say, think, or do, until you have satisfactorily reached or surpassed your skill development goals.
Make this well-known statement an affirmation working for you: 'Opportunities never come to those who wait - - they are captured by those who dare to ATTACK!'

Helping Your Child Learn To Read
When parents help their children learn to read, they help open the door to a new world. As a parent, you can begin an endless learning chain: You read to your children, they develop a love of stories and poems, they want to read on their own, they practice reading, and finally they read for their own information or pleasure. They become readers, and their world is forever expanded and enriched.
Programmation
Relax Your Mind
(Programming and Relaxation)
The Programmation Tape is on the opposite side of the Relaxation Exercise Tape. This section of the program is called 'PROGRAMMATION' because it is designed to program your subconscious mind with the skills you are learning. Only when the skills are programmed into your subconscious can you use them instinctively when you need them.
Your mind automatically responds to questions and problems you may have. It does this by using all your past experiences and knowledge. Like the computer, which it really is, you must 'program' it with new information if it is to do more.
The programming of your mind is done by using relaxation to properly condition the mind to the state in which it can receive information most effectively. With the exercise repetitions, the information is fed into your 'computer,' to be pulled out and used by you as soon as it is fully accepted and learned. The biggest problem your mind has is to override the old, primary skill habits it has learned and developed. Because habits are automatic responses to a condition or situation, it is necessary to repeatedly instruct the subconscious to use the new skill instead of the old habits. Visualization is used extensively because the subconscious does not know the difference between something vividly imagined and something actually happening. The more vivid the visualization, the more effective the programming. Suggestion and imagination are used as an aid to visualization and acting 'as if.'
The programmation tape is a very valuable tool. The more quickly you program your subconscious, the more quickly you can begin to effectively use your newly developed reading and learning skills. In the beginning, use this tape twice a day. If this is not possible, use the Programmation Tape in the morning, while you are fresher and more relaxed, and go through the relaxation exercises in the evening. The more often you use both of these practice tapes, the more easily you will develop the reading skills.
Going through the Relaxation and Programmation exercises should not be considered a part of the 30-minute to 1 hour reading practice you have set aside. These two exercises provide so many benefits, both within the reading and learning area as well as outside those areas, that you should spend as much extra time as you can going through these exercises. They are so important, that if you don't have time during the day to practice both of these exercises and do your regular reading practice, you should reduce your reading practice. Be sure you spend time to do both of these exercises at least once every day
WHY PRACTICE?
When a skill is repeated many times, you begin to use that skill automatically and instinctively. When any act or action is repeated many times, that act becomes easy, automatic and eventually, habitual. It becomes easier, not because the act becomes easier to do, but the ability to perform that act becomes better. At that point, the subconscious mind totally controls the skill or action, without the need of instructions or help from the conscious mind. In order to read and learn more effectively and faster, you must practice the skills.
WHY VISUALIZE?
The more vividly we imagine what we want, the more certain we may become that we actually will obtain it. Create in the mind exactly what is wanted. Think about it in every detail. Actually feel, see, and even touch, the results or goals you want. Vividly imagining what you want means exactly that. See yourself doing what you are working towards. If it is not vividly imagined, it will not have an impact on the subconscious mind. Feel the self satisfaction. Don't be denied the enjoyment of accomplishment. Feel it before you achieve it.
One of the world's greatest high jumpers, Dwight Stones, explains: 'Before I take one step toward the bar, I close my eyes and mentally go through every part of the jump I am about to make. I totally relax and rock back and forth. Mentally, I take my quick step back with my right leg. Then, I break into the galloping gait toward the pit and the bar. Just at the exactly correct spot, I sharpen my angle of approach to the bar and speed up my approach. At exactly the right speed and on the exactly correct takeoff spot, I plant my foot and with a violent upward thrust of my arms, I push myself into the air with my planted foot and leg. As I lift off, I naturally and easily roll over so the bar passes behind and under my shoulders. At the bar level, I throw my arms, head and shoulders backwards, over the bar. At that instant, I throw my hips and legs forward, upwards and over the bar. I land on the back of my shoulders in the soft jumping pit, and naturally continue rolling backward and I roll onto my feet with my clenched fists in the air. I didn't even touch the bar. Not until I have mentally gone through the entire jump and successfully cleared the bar, do I actually begin to take the first step in my jump.'
His visualization is so vivid that the subconscious does not know the difference between imagined and actual. If, in his mind, he has already gone over the bar, the center that controls his 'habitual' actions has a much easier time doing it the second time. Use the power of visualization in all you attempt to do and learn. Another very important fact to always keep in mind is that if you clearly and vividly imagine something, your subconscious does not know the difference between imagination and reality, and the experience is just as strongly impressed upon the mind as if it had actually happened. This 'acting as if' is a very important part of visualization in learning the Alpha-Netics Rapid Reading skills.
