How is Evelyn Wood Affiliated with Speed Reading & Memory Training?

For more than 50 years, the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading & Memory Training program has been trusted by U.S. presidents, executives, college students, and lifelong learners worldwide.

Evelyn Nielsen Wood (1909–1995), an educator and entrepreneur, revolutionized the way people approach reading. She popularized speed reading—also known as dynamic reading—through a structured memory training program designed to multiply reading speed three to ten times while preserving comprehension.

Her 1959 book Reading Skills and the launch of Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics in the 1960s and 70s cemented her reputation as the pioneer of modern speed reading courses.
