"World's Fastest Reader" visits TPA
Howard Berg, "The World's Fastest Reader" visited The Turning Point Academy (TPA) on November 16, 2009. TPA uses Howard Berg’s speed reading course (see bottom of TPA's homepage). Using his techniques, students learn to filter through massive amounts of information with better retention. Mr. Berg taught TPA students how to use speed reading as a powerful advantage in school, work, and in life. The students were very excited to have Mr. Berg join them. They have successfully used his speed reading for over a year. The students have watched him on "FOX NEWS" reading President Obama's proposed Health Care Plan (nearly 2000 pages in one hour). Howard Berg is also on the Sony Reader Digital commercial with Justin Timberlake. and http://www.collegeplus.org/blog/2009/10/26/speedreadingstudyskills .
Howard Berg and Dr. Kuni Beasley created the NEW American School curriculum. This is the curriculum that TPA students follow with great success. With consistent effort and attendance students make great progress in learning. Ciara Appelbaum is 13 and entering the 10th grade level. Michael Dale is 11 and would be in the 5th grade if he were in public school. He has accomplished a great deal in his first year at TPA. He will be finished with Middle School and entering High School courses by Jan. 2010. This is just two examples. TPA is very proud of each student for their daily progress and self motivation.
