It's the remnants of the original Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course that JFK had his cabinet take. (Evelyn Wood started programs in several countries, then sold them off and licensed parts of them independently. None of them had exclusive rights to the name so there are now several different groups that go by the name Evelyn Wood or Reading Dynamics.) ExecuRead is the program that still teaches the course in a classroom rather than selling a software program.
Check their schedule to see when they're offering a class in your area. If there's no class in your area (and even if there is) contact the director, Bruce Stewart directly. If you can get several classmates to take the course with you, then he'll probably give you a discount. And if you can reserve a classroom at your school, he'd probably let you take it for free.
I highly recommend this class. Anyway, the thing I want to emphasize is that speed reading isn't primarily knowledge, where you learn how to do it and then you can do it right away. But rather, it's a skill that takes a lot of practice over time. It's a lot of hard work, and if you don't continue to practice it, you'll lose the skill.
If you have any questions about it, feel free to contact me.
