Special Grant Awarded to Fort Campbell High School – 8. December, 2010

Kenwood High School, just outside of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, has been chosen for a pilot program and will be receiving federal grant money. This money will be used to finance an offshoot of this school, known as the STEM Academy. This will benefit students in both the states of Kentucky and Tennessee.

This program is being implemented to help teach gifted children new technologies centering around math and science education. Tennessee is one of the two states that have been chosen to participate in the ground-breaking program for students. This area’s school district will receive around $1 million during the course of the next four years.

Fifty thousand dollars has also been donated to this endeavor by the Dow Corning Company. This generous donation is going to help cover costs such as those associated with new equipment and personnel. Kenwood was chosen as the site for this development because of its location and the ability to be able to further develop down the road, if need be. This academy will bring much honor to this area.

This is a pilot program for high achieving students in math and science from all around the district, allowing hands on approach to presenting students with challenges and problem solving techniques to the solar industry, benefiting the students in all areas of their education. This provides a solid integration of theory and real world practice. Something not typically found in most high schools.

This provides a unique opportunity for Fort Campbell parents and their children, especially those who have interests in math and science. Kenwood high school is just one of several schools serving the Fort Campbell area. You can see information and ratings of most Fort Campbell schools of all kinds by going to http://fortcampbell.goarmyhomes.com/schools.php.

If one is planning on a visit to this area and he or she has a student with keen math and science skills, one should consider moving his or her family. The AFRS at FortCampbell.GoArmyHomes.com can help.

Whether you plan on living in a Fort Campbell rental or purchase a home near the post, the Army Relocation Specialists at GoArmyHomes can help you find the right home in the right school district in the right neighborhood.

Speed Reading Will Work Miracles For You – 7. December, 2010

Just use these hints and you’ll learn how to speed reading:

You can read lines of text, more effectively, by reading groups of words at one time than reading a single word, and your reading speed improves when you just widen your eye span (peripheral vision).

1. Techniques will teach you have to activate hand-to-eye coordination, then you’ll be speed reading quickly and immediately. Improve your reading abilities for business or personal use with just a little practice. You can double, even triple your current rates of reading without hurting comprehension or retention.

There are different speed reading Methods for different kinracleds of reading material:

1. Fiction, especially the romance novels. Try speed reading a hot and passionate love scene. You can’t! I don’t speed read romance novels. I don’t know anyone who does.

2. Non-Fiction. Speed reading is perfect in this dimension. Where there is something to learn that is not based on the emotions speed reading is great. And it comes in various forms: newspapers with narrow columns, magazines, with slightly wider columns, books, computer screens, and in the mail and email.

Slow readers struggle. They can’t identify the methods to success and they struggle due to slowing down to identify words that don’t understand — they will see a particular word, slow down, think about the meaning, then restart the reading process. Perhaps they won’t sound out all of the words they’ve been reading, but they will spend more time on some phrases than others. Because, they are just skimming across those small sections that are easy to understand.

Creating balance in comprehension and reading speed is what gives us our base reading speed. You will also need to establish a base-line reading speed for what you read the most. There are different techniques for different types of reading, with varying speeds, and comprehension rates.

Study speed reading, and practice doing the exercises, they will improve your reading speed drastically with practice. But, before you begin practicing the speed reading techniques, which you’ll learn in the Complete Speed Reading Program, let me suggest that you learn to coordinate your eye-to-pacing finger movement.

In the beginning proposes you reread the same material over and over, until you develop a well-coordinated reading speed. When you feel comfortable with it, your rate of speed will increase almost immediately almost 50%. Then, once you are comfortable practicing at that rate, move on to more advanced techniques that will increase your reading speed further.

Consider this:

1. You will be reading very fast (scan read) pre-reading for important facts 300%.

2. You should use a 50% over normal rate when reading for information saturation.

3. Post-read for quick review will be fast reading; just a fast scan 300-400% quicker.

4. For testing, scan before prepare for tests your rating speed will be medium fast 200%.

That’s how easy it will be. Your mind will be trained to be the perfect learning machine. Just begin right now with Complete Speed Reading Course, a beginner course, and intense in-depth program, and audio reinforcement. Guaranteed to bring you greater success.
