About Ashgrove

Mission

We help learners read faster without sacrificing comprehension. Our framework combines eye-movement optimization, chunking, and guided drills.

Ashgrove courses are built for clarity, minimalism, and measurable outcomes you can replicate beyond the classroom.

Method

Our method blends short, high-focus drills with progressive overload and immediate feedback. Every drill is traceable to a research principle.

Eye movement icon

Eye-movement optimization

Reduce regressions and widen perceptual span through saccade training and calibrated fixation points.

Chunking icon

Linguistic chunking

Practice grouping phrases and clauses so comprehension remains intact at higher WPM.

Guided drills icon

Guided drills

Structured sessions with precise timing, automatic difficulty scaling, and retention checks.

Team philosophy

We build with the learner’s time in mind: fewer clicks, clearer goals, tighter feedback loops.

  • Evidence first: every activity references a primary source or meta-review.
  • Less friction: interfaces that disappear when you focus.
  • Respect cognitive load: one skill per drill.
“Speed without understanding is just motion. We teach velocity with meaning.”
