My experience with Analytical Reading lessons was very helpful in gaining understanding and comprehension of the Bible and Science and Health. My coach is a thoughtful and patient instructor and led my improvement in reading, both silent and verbally. The information and practice transferred into all of my reading and also my writing.
I am very grateful to the Institute of Analytical Reading for helping unlock meaning in my reading.

When I was elected Second Reader this year I was encouraged to try out a few Analytical Reading lessons. I was skeptical, not because I didn’t think lessons would be helpful, but because I didn’t think I would be very good at learning reading skills. But I soon found out how wrong I was!
My coach was patient, clear, and kept things simple enough for me to grasp the ideas of reading distinctly and meaningfully. I am learning how to stress certain words to bring out meaning, make connections within Bible verses as well as between citations, and helpful ways to read tough passages.
After a few weeks, I have gained confidence to read publicly in my branch church and fear of speaking and reading aloud has vanished. I have begun giving more testimonies on Wednesday evenings and speaking more at business meetings, two things I have been shy about doing.
I don’t think it would be too much to say that the reading lessons have helped pave the way for me to turn a corner in church participation. And, I have received many encouraging and complimentary comments from several church members.
I am grateful for this education as I know it is not only helping me but is bringing healing to listeners on Sunday as the deeper meanings of the Bible are brought out. Also, I can’t neglect to say that my individual study of the weekly Bible Lessons has improved with an increased awareness of meaning and connection. Colorado, USA

When I became the Second Reader at my church, Analytical Reading coaching was invaluable to me. I could read with a greater understanding of the Scriptures and thus impart to listeners a clearer meaning of the Bible passages.

I have been studying with my Analytical Reading coach for three years in order to be able to read the Bible with clarity and meaning. I was brought up in England and I believed that I was well educated, and therefore didn't need reading lessons. However, after trying some lessons, I came to understand that Analytical Reading gives structure and logic. Coaching has made me a better reader.
