For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. k7P~*ll$
In __1__a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend __2__ can mean the difference between success and failure. "6rZn_H/|
Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __3__ readers. |8}f
Most of us develop poor reading __4__ at an early age, and never get over them. EB jiSQw
The main deficiency __5__ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. TuY{c%qQ:
Taken individually, words have __6__ meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. __7__ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. ~L Gkc
t
He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to __8__ words or passages. adtK$@Yeg
Regression, the tendency to look back over __9__ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. o+{}O_r
Another habit which __10__ down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as __11__ reads. vfzGRr
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an __12__ , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. Y9~;6fg
The bar is set at a slightly faster rate __13__ the reader finds comfortable, in order to“stretch”him. :Bp{yUgi@
The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, __14__ word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. P$_Y:XI !
At first __15__ is sacrificed for speed. W+PAlsOC
But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, __16__ your comprehension will improve. kH*
