Why doesn’t everyone speed read? Because you were never taught to read
properly (proper reading is effective and efficient speed reading).
By third grade you read out loud to your teacher or parents. This is
called Oral Reading Fluency and is the Learn To Read phase in the country’s
reading curriculums. After third grade reading education stops. Why? Because
it was assumed (incorrectly) that once you had mastered Learn To Read
skills you knew how to Read To Learn… not true!
After 3rd grade everyone moves into a world of silent reading, i.e., who
reads out loud in school, in an office, in a library? No One! In a silent
reading world everyone needs to master Silent Reading Skills… which are the
opposite of Oral Reading Skills.
A poor reader reads one word at a time and vocalizes each word subliminally
or lip. An effective and efficient speed reader reads more than one word at
a time and does not vocalize words while reading… he/she reads silently!
Because reading education stops after the 3rd grade most people employ oral
reading skills in a silent reading world, i.e., “sounding out” one word at a
time silently rather than vocally..
Beating Your Ingrained Habits: Become an effective and efficient Speed Reader
The solution? The Reader’s Edge! It teaches how to UNLEARN the habits of slow
readers and LEARN the habits and skills of Effective and Efficient Speed Readers.
The reading speed of slow readers is the rate at which they can speak;
approximately 160 to 200 words per minute (WPM) The reading speed of effective
and efficient speed readers is the rate at which the brain works (capable of
thousands of WPM)..
Incidentally, slow readers have poor comprehension and retention. Effective
and Efficient Speed Readers read better and faster with improved comprehension
and retention.
