RocketReader Powers Up Your Memory

Canadian psychologists Michael Pressley and Pamela El-Dinary comment that people who process information efficiently are those who, ‘elect themselves into situations likely to increase what they want to know’. By choosing the RocketReader memory development program, you are making the choice to become an EFFICIENT INFORMATION PROCESSOR. RocketReader is a complete mind improvement package to challenge and develop your intellect. While RocketReader teaches you to read at mach speed, you also need to remember what you’ve read. Unlike other speed reading programs, RocketReader also develops your memory; it contains entire sections on memory development and memory testing.  Thus, RocketReader is actually two products in one convenient program! Even if you are not interested in learning to read more efficiently, you could invest in RocketReader simply for its memory development features.
 
 

Memory Training Capabilities

RocketReader Online includes a dedicated Memory Training track built on:
 
 
  "My daughter has been using Rocket Reader for several months.  She is an eighth grader and her reading went from 150 wpm to about 500. She can only practice from time to time while in school." (Russ Montello, California USA)  Complete Message    More - what people say.
You’ll notice that there are multiple benefits of using RocketReader – as well as speed reading and memory development, you’ll improve your concentration, and discover new words, new information, and new facts while learning at YOUR MAXIMUM CAPABILITY.  It’s fun, challenging, and educational.  It’s also suitable for a huge variety of users – students, professionals, public speakers, clerical staff, and anyone who wants to remember more, become more organized, or manage time effectively.

Why RocketReader is a necessary study tool
RocketReader is an invaluable study tool because it uses recognized psychological techniques to target memory improvement and development. Since the first group of Kansas scientists tested it in 1988, many psychologists have confirmed that summarising  is extremely useful for improving memory.   RocketReader uses the summarizing technique to teach you the main ideas and key concepts in Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Science and English from junior high to sophomore level.
 
 

RocketReader uses the summarizing memory technique to power up your memory in your chosen field.

If you paid for a personal tutor for your child over one year, you might spend about thirty dollars a week on your child’s learning development. This means you might easily spend over a thousand dollars each year.  When you invest in RocketReader, you receive a customized, convenient learning tool to teach your child the fastest and most efficient learning techniques, for a mere six dollars a week!  This is a clear saving of  more than two thousand dollars every year. And the memory training is not just for children, you can enter your own material to memorize  any topic, field or area, from college to professional uses.

The RocketReader memory development can help you if you’re at junior high school or high school, university or college,  if you’re trying to learn a new language or learning English as a Second Language, if you’re a mature age student, a home school student,  a special education student, a gifted and talented student, or you’re a student with a learning difficulty such as Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia. Parents, watch YOUR CHILD’S  learning development really take off!  RocketReader contains thousands of multiple choice memory questions in many different areas.

The facts you learn with RocketReader will be useful long after you’ve finished studying.  You’ll always have USEFUL, EVERYDAY FACTS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.  For instance, you’d like to know how to calculate the ‘area’ or ‘volume’ of an object when you think about how big the Yankee Stadium is, or how much liquid a ‘pint’ container can hold.  You’ll also need to know how to spell ‘Mississippi’ to baffle your competition in your next Spelling Bee, and that to calculate the distance from Maine to San Francisco, you can use the time/speed/distance equation.  By remembering such basic pieces of information, you’ll have an advantage over others, forever.
 
 

  "I AM VERY IMPRESSED!! I used it for approx three weeks and was amazed at the results!  It really is a very impressive program and well worthy (sic) of the cost.  I'm suprised the cost is so low - it is worth 10 times the cost!."  (B. Wolohan, Northants UK)   Complete Message    More - what people say.
You can learn at your own speed in your own home, so that if you’re a bit faster or a bit slower than other students, you won’t be disadvantaged, distracted, or left behind. Every student learns differently.  This is why RocketReader is AN INDIVIDUAL LEARNING TOOL which puts you in a class of your own.

Better grades with RocketReader

Good memory skills are essential for effective learning, whatever field of information you deal with. As Canadian psychologists Michael Pressley and Pamela Beard El-Dinary commented, “Although there are many educators who decry that memorization should not be at the heart of schooling, it is.” Your study time is more rewarding when you remember what you’ve studied and recall it for later use. If you have twenty or twenty five contact hours at school or college during the week, you’re probably expected to do an equal amount of  homework or studying in your own time. Imagine how your grades would improve if you can learn hundreds of main concepts taught in high school and beyond, as well as memorizing your own facts with just a few minutes’ effort each week. You would have a competitive edge throughout school and college   As well as BETTER GRADES, BETTER EXAM PERFORMANCE and more effective study technique, you’ll learn ESSENTIAL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS for today’s highly demanding world.  In any job, you must be able to understand and absorb new information which you will need to recall at a later date.  Invest in RocketReader and see how much more effectively you operate as a student, employee, or in your social and personal organization.

RocketReader provides the learning BUILDING BLOCKS

At school and university, you must understand, remember and be able to use BASIC PRINCIPLES before progressing to more complex concepts.  You are less likely to succeed if you have not remembered basic concepts or cannot apply them to higher levels of learning.  For example, a biology student cannot tell whether a particular species is an ‘arachnid’ or  an ‘insect’ without first being familiar with the meaning of these terms.  Psychologist Quillian suggested that the memory works by sorting information into a storage system, whereby the mind applies basic, familiar concepts to facts presented in more difficult problems. The studies of psychologists Dooling and Lachman demonstrated that an effective educational technique is to show students an OVERVIEW OF BASIC CONCEPTS to be covered in a curriculum.  This encourages you to be FAMILIAR WITH YOUR MATERIALS, and also teaches you how to organize them logically.    RocketReader puts these findings into practise with SOLID FOUNDATIONS in ESSENTIAL AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE, like Maths, Science, Physics, Chemistry and English. These show you what you’ll need to know, teach you how to organize your knowledge, and prepare you for more complex concepts.  You can also learn basic concepts from your own text file of definitions or terms.  RocketReader converts these to multiple choice questions which you can use repetitively to gain understanding.

Long term memory

Since the 1950’s, psychologists have recognized the difference between information which is PERMANENTLY STORED IN LONG TERM MEMORY, and information stored in short term memory, which can be accessed only for a few minutes or hours.  Some basic information should stored forever in the long-term memory and used on a daily basis in life.  Many years after you first learnt it, you still remember that seven times seven equals forty nine, or that December has thirty one days. effective learning of any material means STORING IT IN LONG TERM MEMORY. RocketReader teaches you the fastest and most efficient techniques to achieve this. You’ll LEARN NEW FACTS, learn your own study materials, and improve your reading and memory techniques. This could cut your studying time in half; you’ll have more time for rest and relaxation, clubs and groups, and family activities.

Avoid study stress with RocketReader

Unlike other memory programs which teach you to absorb large amounts of information over a short period of time, RocketReader actively trains you to store valuable facts in your long term memory, rather than in short term memory.  Information stored in short term memory only remains there for a few hours or days, no longer.  This is why ‘emergency’ learning procedures such as cramming are a wasted effort.  CRAMMING IS A POOR STUDY TECHNIQUE because it does not store information in long term memory.  Although the memory can recall information it has recently experienced (the night before an exam), less information is absorbed because the memory must try to retain and absorb a larger volume over a very short time period.  Thus, not all information will be remembered on the morning of the exam; your mind will be cluttered with information which may or may not be relevant. You will not have had time to organize information in your mind, and thus cannot transfer the most important parts to the long term memory.  Before, during and after the exam, information which has been crammed will be lost because it was never actually remembered. If you ever want to access the information again, you will have to relearn it. Additionally, you may ‘burn out’ by attempting to absorb too much information in too little time; your concentration levels and mental clarity will be greatly reduced.


 

RocketReader means exciting, INTERACTIVE LEARNING

RocketReader encourages you to ABSORB, RETAIN AND RECALL INFORMATION THROUGH INTERACTION with your materials.  As eminent American psychologist Peter Morris puts it, “...interaction is the key to improved recall...”.  INTERACTIVE LEARNING  is the most efficient means of storing information in the long term memory.   Information stored in long term memory is that with which you are familiar or access often, that is, interact with frequently. For instance, few people forget their name or telephone number because these are important pieces of information which must be accessed frequently and have hence been stored in long term memory. The most effective method of storing information in long term memory is repetition.  This means revisiting information regularly, or ‘REHEARSING’ it. Famous psychological tests undertaken by Huttenlocher and Burke  demonstrated that, “...superior retention...is usually attributed to rehearsal...”.The concept of repetition and rehearsal is so important that, in psychology, it is called the “REINFORCEMENT MODEL” of learning.   To learn a concept fully, you must rehearse it periodically.  Each time you rehearse the answer, the more thoroughly it is entrenched in your long-term memory.  With RocketReader, you can rehearse information until it's been permanently stored.

Many students make the mistake of reading information without responding to or interacting with it. In 1988, Canadian experiments were conducted which involved memory of facts at university level. Psychologists  discovered that memory of facts was, “greatly improved” when students answered questions about the facts they had to remember.  Students could remember the facts after answering questions, because the questions, “ask[ed] students to think beyond the facts as stated and to construct reasons why the factual relationships ma[de] sense”. In 1990, further tests demonstrated that QUESTIONING CAN ALSO HELP YOUNGER STUDENTS, in Grades Four to Eight. RocketReader puts these findings into practise.  With the RocketReader memory test, you LEARN INTERACTIVELY BY ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND LEARNING NEW FACTS every time you use it.  You are more likely to store this in long term memory.
 
RocketReader also teaches interactive learning through repetition.  The more familiar you are with your material, the more likely you are to remember and store it in long term memory.  Thus, you can repeat tests and answer as many questions as you like, to ensure perfect recall.  You can use this feature to learn any information.  For instance, as a salesperson, you could use it to learn your clients’ names. RocketReader gives you FEEDBACK AFTER EVERY MEMORY TEST, explaining which questions were answered incorrectly and supplying the correct answer.  This is a vital element of effective learning because it responds to you as an individual (much like a real teacher) and gives you encouragement and direction. The RocketReader response is much like having a test marked immediately – you know where you have gone wrong and how to improve for the next test.  Feedback is also important in memory because you become more familiar with the information after having ‘discussed’ it with a teacher.  That is, you submit answers to RocketReader, which responds with corrections and encourages you to reread the information and seek the correct answer. Most busy teachers do not have time to devote to individual students outside of normal classroom time. For specialized one-on-one tuition you would have to pay a tutor for extra time, at approximately ten dollars an hour. If you had an hour of tutoring once a week for a year, you would spend over five hundred dollars. If you use RocketReader each day over one year, you pay ninety cents a day for all the feedback and learning you need to access for your learning success.

Limitations of flash cards

The RocketReader memory tests are not like old-fashioned flash cards.  Flash cards are not an effective method of learning because they do not give cues to answer questions.  If you do not remember the answer to a question, you’ll have no chance of getting it right if you’re using flash cards.  If you are using RocketReader’s multiple choice memory tests, however, you will come up with the right answer because you train yourself to recall a partially learnt answer, and used repetition to INTERACTIVELY LEARN new concepts.  The selections act as a prompt for your memory, ‘kick starting’ it into remembering the basic facts. The diagram below shows the results of an experiment conducted by American psychologist Nelson, who queried whether his subjects were more likely to remember information if they were given cues.  He found that the subjects were twenty percent more likely to remember information which was ‘cued’, and this increased when all of the cues given related to the answer.  That is, when all of the cues were possible selections.  Furthermore, Nelson found that subjects remembered more information when they were more familiar with it.  They recognized the right answer because they knew the facts behind the question. By being familiar with basic facts, you’ve already made the CONNECTIONS BETWEEN QUESTION AND ANSWER in your own mind.  When you know the basic facts, you can work through possible selections to find the right answer. With RocketReader, you will learn to identify trick questions and consider all options carefully.  This is invaluable for multiple choice question format exams like the SATs, where technique and familiarity with exam-style questions are as important as exam content.

A set of flash cards may cost you as much as fifty dollars. If you wanted to improve your exam technique, you would have to pay for extra books or tuition.  This could cost hundreds of dollars.  By investing in RocketReader, you learn by using psychologically tested cued learning techniques, and improve your exam technique and familiarity with materials, while learning the basic concepts in a core curriculum of high school and college subjects, for a sensible price of only ninety cents a day over one year!
 
You can use the RocketReader memory tests on your OWN STUDY MATERIALS, too; simply insert a text file.  RocketReader converts this to multiple choice questions so that you use interactive learning techniques.  The RocketReader memory tests can be used on ANY MATERIAL IN A TEXT FILE FORMAT, so the tests can benefit you if you use text, facts, lists,  or formulas.   This can assist in learning for classroom quizzes, tests or exams, and can even be used for learning new languages.

If you want to do some uncued memory training, RocketReader gives you the option of rote techniques.  Undoubtedly, you will have used rote before – it simply teaches you the question and the answer, without any interaction on your part or any cues.  For instance, if you’re trying to learn capital cities, rote tells you that Washington DC is the capital of the United States, and that Paris is the capital of France.  You must make the connection in your mind without any help.  It’s more difficult, and less fun than multiple choice questions, but you should be able to choose what sort of learning style suits you best.  With RocketReader, you’ve got all the options you need.

Why RocketReader beats books (and how you can beat your text books)

RocketReader beats memory development books hands down.  This is because RocketReader lets you LEARN AT YOUR OWN SPEED, but uses artificial intelligence algorithms, to ensure you LEARN AT YOUR OPTIMUM CAPABILITY.  Unlike a book which expects you to learn the skills of memory with no feedback, RocketReader gives you constant FEEDBACK AND ENCOURAGEMENT.  You will not feel like giving up with a friendly teacher by your side! RocketReader contains thousands of memory testing questions, so you’ll always be challenged, and its bright, user-friendly interface design ensures that you will not be frustrated or bored.

Unlike a memory improvement book, RocketReader lets you use your own materials for memory testing – your definitions, terms or facts will be converted into exciting and challenging multiple choice questions.  Make memory development fun with RocketReader, and beat your books!

Do a few simple sums and realize how you can save money and time with RocketReader.  Other memory development books and personal tuition may cost you thousands of dollars over the period of a year.  Don’t invest in limited, difficult learning.  With RocketReader, you invest in an interactive, fun, challenging program which will teach you new facts, memory skills, and speed reading AND improve your concentration span, attention level, spelling, vocabulary and keyboard familiarity.  It’s a complete product for only ninety cents a day over one year!


 

Memory in a flash!

RocketReader flash training can also help you to improve memory skills.  RocketReader uses a tachistoscope which flashes phrases and words onto the screen, which you must remember, spell and repeat.  This encourages interactive memorization through user response.  The RocketReader flash training method is superior to old-fashioned flash cards because it is truly interactive.  You know the right answer instantly.  It also increases REACTION TIME, ATTENTION SPAN, CONCENTRATION AND HAND-EYE CO-ORDINATION SKILLS. These are important additional skills for memory development.  As James Russell Lowell put it, “Attention is the stuff that memory is made of.”

 The development of attention span and concentration skills would also be highly useful  to young readers or readers with learning difficulties.  RocketReader uses an artificial intelligence algorithm in conjunction with the tachistoscope so that you always learn at an optimal level; the program speed adjusts automatically to suit the reader’s ability.  The tachistoscope flashes groups of words onto the screen at a speed which is adjustable.  For more challenging readings, you can alter the delay between each group of words, so that a delay of twenty five seconds can be used for very fast readers, and a delay of sixty  seconds used for slower readers, and there are many levels in between!  You can also  customize the level of difficulty, so that you read simple or complex words and phrases, including punctuation marks and capital letters.    You can read one to five words at once, and include names, places and questions. Flash training can provide benefits to any user of RocketReader, as you can set the data base to operate in basic or advanced mode, so that the words you learn will always be suited to your level of ability.
 

College Exams made easy with RocketReader

RocketReader is a particularly useful study tool for college students because you must absorb, retain, RECALL AND APPLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF INFORMATION constantly.  No lecturer waits for a student who has not done their readings or cannot remember them!  RocketReader’s speed reading and memory tools will revolutionized your study technique by training you with the unique tandem skills of speed reading and comprehension.  By learning to read faster, you can more adequately cope with your large workload, and by reading with greater comprehension and recall, retain more of what you’ve read and be able to apply it readily to tutorials, tests or exams. You can use your own study materials in RocketReader’s speed and memory tests by inserting them as a text file.

RocketReader - a workplace tool

Memory skills are useful in many areas of business at professional and non-professional levels.  In retail, for instance, recall of important product information can make or break a sale. As a salesperson, knowledge of your product can influence potential customers by establishing trust and confidence in sales staff and the product.  A similar scenario applies to professionals, including, for example, doctors, lawyers, managers and executives.   Professional people must read and retain large amounts of information, and be able to recall it instantly without relying on text books or manuals. You may have to remember contact information, numbers or definitions. You must also respond to individual client needs and answer questions objections; this requires you to organize relevant information. Administrative staff must plan and remember appointments, schedules, meetings, telephone numbers and names, frequently without a diary or planner on hand. You must be proficient at remembering instructions and following day-to-day timetables, while you can reduce business errors made by forgetting pieces of information.  Recall of information can aid in contributing to meetings, and retention of information ensures that you optimize benefits from workplace training and development.  Decision making can also be improved by having sufficient information with which to make decisions.  With RocketReader, you can learn to remember: contact numbers, terminology, email addresses, numerical/cataloging/filing systems, file names/directories, extension numbers, pager numbers, room numbers, policies, philosophies, facts and definitions.  In fact, you can remember any information you need to know by inserting it into RocketReader, and answering multiple choice questions.  It’s an easy, fun way to improve your memory skills.

Public speaking – no drama with RocketReader

For many people, public speaking is a frightening experience.  It may be difficult to appear before a large group of people as the center of attention, deliver a flawless speech and answer questions, respond or field criticism.

Public speaking is also a necessary skill in any profession and in everyday life.  Most people must communicate with others on a daily basis in a variety of encounters which require public speaking.  These include meetings, friendly chats, sales pitches, making agreements and decisions, purchasing items in shops, and family gatherings.  In short, all people need to communicate effectively.

Effective speakers use particular techniques to assist their communication.  Some of the most important of these memory devices discourage you from using aids such as cards.  Speaking aids break the natural eye contact between you and your audience, enforce the distance between you, and can reduce your credibility. When you know your material, you are less likely to need aids or be afraid of the audience, and can concentrate on establishing rapport with them.  This may include more eye contact, recall of names and faces when answering questions, and the ability to interrupt a speech to respond to audience feedback, elaborate on, or eliminate parts of a speech.

RocketReader memory tools can assist speakers to develop a more effective style of communicating by teaching speakers familiarity with their material.  RocketReader memory tests can be modified to accommodate any speech – simply insert the speech as a text file.  RocketReader uses markup language to convert the speech into multiple choice questions, which encourage the speaker to interact with your material and thus remember more of its content.

Efficient Communication in a Flash!

RocketReader flash training also helps speakers to develop communication skills.  An important part of communicating effectively is the ability to absorb, comprehend and respond to new information, such as audience questions or feedback.  RocketReader flash training uses a tachistoscope which flashes information at a gradually increasing speed, to challenge the rate and amount of information absorbed.  You must respond by correctly repeating the information given in a test of photographic memory, retention and recall skills.
