so my uni sent me a letter about a weekend program they're hosting where they claim to help you "advance your reading comprehension and double your wpm". do you think it would be worth going to or does it seem like some sham? i'm not a terrible reader but i thought maybe it could help me get even better.
what do you think? do any of you have experience with these types of things? did it help?

These tend to be exercises in efficient skimming, picking out the key ideas in a paragraph without consciously reading the whole thing. Of limited use in, say, reading newspapers, totally useless with literature where the style and atmosphere is more significant than the "key facts", and actively dangerous in studying textbooks because you can too easily miss important things.
And almost always a short sampler lesson to lure you into paying for a fuller course.

Call it autism if you wish, but I can't imagine just skipping over words. If I am reading something, I'm reading it.
