Do you know how frustrating it is to have completed twelve years of elementary and high school education, maybe 4-8 years of college/university training (and perhaps more) and STILL not feel like you can grasp ideas quickly enough to keep up, advance academically or professionally?

What MindPrime's IdeaChain Program delivers is a solution, broken into bite size pieces, that makes grasping and remembering ideas a reality.

Adults who benefit from the IdeaChain Reading Comprehension Program experience these problems:

• Read and don't remember
• Fall asleep when reading
• Get confused after reading several pages
• Find it difficult to explain things
• Don't remember what people have told them
• Answer the wrong questions on tests
• May have difficulty in maintaining relationships because they don't understand or communicate well
• Can't pass qualifying tests (for nursing school, medical school, CPA, etc.) because of the reading comprehension portion. They may do quite well on the math, science or financial portions.
• Find it difficult to make presentations at work
• Can't keep up with the reading for their industry
• See themselves getting passed up for promotion because of poor memory or communication skills
• Feel out of step in conversations that move quickly
• Find it hard to participate in casual conversations because they can't read and remember newspaper and magazine articles easily
• Struggle to get advanced degrees because of the reading load
• Have difficulty in writing clear reports
• Have difficulty making presentations of complex material
• Feel frequently frustrated that they can't 'break through' no matter how many things they've tried.

Adults learners have different needs than children . . .

• Adults frequently have deadlines they are trying to meet - to pass an entrance exam, pass company training, go back to school, etc.
• Adults want feedback from a tutor or professional to know how they are doing.
• Adult learners are highly motivated and they also want structure and support to succeed.
• Adults want proceed at their own pace.
• Adults want to see some measurable change as soon as possible, especially at work or in school.
• Adults frequently want and need privacy, even from family.
• Adults want to be able to apply the strategies as soon as possible.
• Adults want to experience the joy of reading and learning that they see in other people.

Here's how you get significant reading comprehension improvement for adults in the three month time period . . .

• This is a straightforward three step plan that puts glue in your brain to lock in what you read and hear.
• You get a coach assigned to you from MindPrime. That's right, your own personal coach.
• You start with pictures because this is your brain's favorite form of taking things in.
• Your first exercise locks in what you see using everyday words. You will be amazed at this simple process. We will discuss with you how you can best begin to apply this strategy immediately at work or in your academic studies.
• You'll leave this first coaching conversation with a practice plan.
• In the next step, you learn how to be your own movie director, creating your own pictures in your mind. Your coach will again explore with you how you can immediately apply this new strategy at work on in academic courses.
• Lastly, you'll go to reading words on the page using simple sentences and short stories. At this point, you are ready for the words to trigger pictures in your mind. (Right now your trigger may not be working well . . . or at all.) Words begin to trigger the pictures that lock in, anchor and organize information.
