FREE online courses on Improve Your Reading Speed - Summary
In summary, evidence has been cited which seems to indicate a
need for and value of a rapid rate of reading, while at the same time indicating
the dangers of speed in reading, as such. We have attempted to point out the
relationship between rate of reading and extent of comprehension, as well as the
necessity for adjustment of reading rate, along with whole reading attack, to
the type of material and the purposes of the reader. Finally, the factors which
reduce rate were surveyed as a basis for pointing out that increase in rate
should come in conjunction with the elimination of these retarding aspects of
the reading process and as a part of an overall reading training program where
increase in rate is carefully prepared for in the training sequence.
