Wow to Read
Rapidly Now
Study Course
Chicago ui'iThe chances are,
you should be reading this a
whole lot faster.
That applies especially if you
are a college graduate.
College graduates, according to
Mrs. Elizabeth Simpson, read no
better than seventh graders, in
most cases.
Mrs. Simpson is head of the
adult reading service in the Illi
nois Institute of Technology's in
stitute lor psychological services.
"Most people," she said, "can
read only 150 to 200 words a min
ute and few college graduates
read faster than 350 to 450 words
a minute."
She said a slow reader is not
always a careful reader.
Rapid Reader Stre
"Invariably," she said, "the rap
id reader scores higher on his
comprehension of material read
than docs the slow reader."
The reason most of us don't
read faster Is, she said, "IM erro
neous belief that in the first three
years of school we learn to read"
and that the Job therefore is fin
ished. But, she said, any person may
learn to read better at any age
level. Usually he is capable of
reading twice as efficiently as he
does now. ,
Mrs. Simpson said that scientif
ic reading programs offer the
best opportunity for improving
reading skill. But for those who
cannot take part in such pro
grams, she suggested they try:
1. Reading a comprehensive
unit of material without looking
hack.
2. Self-evaluating or checking
your own understanding by quiz-:
zing yourself on content. - I
d. Making summary notes. i
4. Reviewing those notes.
' MelhodH Suggested
Those four points are mainly
for comprehension. For speed she
suggested:
1. Reading against a watch.
2. Reading rate-and-comprehen-sion
checks published in small
booklet form.
2. Checking regression or look
ing back.
4. Practicing moving the eyes
rhythmically from left to right.
5. Reading narrow columns to
practice enlarging the eye span.
6. Setting of deadlines say, 40
minutes for a particular reading
job.
7. Adjusting your rate of read
ing to the difficulty of the ma
terial. 8. Pushing yourself to read
faster. - ,
9. Concentrating. j
The difference in reajding abil
ity, she said, may be the differ
ence in being a clerk or being a
supervisor.
