2.Student writes a one-two sentence statement of what he or she most wants help with in improving reading and studying. Student will present this statement to the coach/instructor (if using one) at the beginning of instruction, or by advance e-mail.

During this session the student learns how to apply the principles just learned for overcoming subvocalization to reading regular text, paginated by paragraphs. This instruction takes a third hour. This assignment is available free on the Internet, from any connected computer or iOS device. This step consists of watching 16 short movies in turn, after first reading the associated text for each movie.
