Almost all of our students on day one want to see the training schedule that will take them to their goal. Previously we tried to control the selection of options to funnel all students through the same resources. Currently, we try to widen the arsenal of the training tools you can use. Introduction Take our …
You can practice reading texts in one, two or three column saccade. I do not recommend going above 3 columns. Personally, if your computer allows, I recommend 3 saccades on 1000 px lines. [wp_paypal_payment]
