Use our tool to calculate your unweighted and weighted GPA to figure out how you stack up against other college applicants. Other tools for training the peripheral vision are some of the games on lumosity and other similar web sites. I have made this journey from a sluggish 2 mins per page back last year, but have read and worked constantly to read like a normal person my comprehension was lacking as well. Phoneme awareness, as mentioned previously, is an awareness of the smallest individual units of sound in a spoken word—its phonemes; phoneme awareness is the most advanced level of phonological awareness. You move your eye to the next word or group of words. One page every 6 seconds. Thanks Tim. When you come across a word you do not know. Reading idea blocks instead of just words is actually a technique that's known in other speed reading methods, but this method uses it for increased comprehension first. This book unlocks the secrets of efficient learning techniques that allow students to master any subject or skill. That's amazing, I did'nt know that! Also, we now know how the reading processes of students who learn to read with ease differ from those who find learning to read difficult. Two of the authors are cognitive scientists who have spent most of their careers studying how people learn and how memory works. Speed reading helps me find those key points more quickly, and if I want, I can slow down for comprehension at such key parts of the text. Looking for Graduate School Test Prep? If not, limits and trade offs should be noted. That kind of techniques clearly help you to increase your reading speed. Interesting tactics here, Tim.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Keep each line to a maximum of 1 second, and increase the speed with each subsequent page. This reaaally confuses me because the two suggestions seem to be contradictory. A common goal is to process groups of 4 to 5 words with one fixation stop.

Contents: INTRODUCTION 1 Step 1: PREPARATION Step 2: UNDERSTANDING YOUR CURRENT ABILITY Step 3: USING A POINTER Step 4: WORDS AS A GROUP Step 5: SKIMMING Step 6: DYNAMIC READING Step 7: INCREASING COMPREHENSION CONCLUSION Appendix 1: MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE INTRODUCTION Do you need Speed Reading? As we approach the start of the 21st century, we are undergoing a major revolution in information. Access to information is made easy by the many journals and magazines available on a multitude of subjects. In addition, there is a wealth of information on the world wide web (the Internet) which is available for access by all users. You can find information on almost any subject, common or obscure. Many search engines make it easy to find the information you want. It is up to you however, to find the exact information that suits your needs. While information availability and access is increasing, most people find that they have less time available to read the material they are required to, or are interested in. In many cases, magazines and books lie on shelves waiting their turn to be read. You have to choose the material that you read in finer detail, at the expense of material that you would have liked to read if you had the time. Speed reading will allow you to read more materials in the same time that you spend reading now.

  • Why Not Phonics and Whole Language?
    Why Not Phonics and Whole Language? Marilyn Jager Adams Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. Bernice Cullinan has a map of the United States that she is fond of displaying at conferences. On her map, any state that has joined the whole language movement is brightly colored; those that are leaning toward whole language are tinged; the rest are left white. Her point is that very few states are still white. Leaving aside questions of nature of Cullinan’s measurement protocol and the grain of her analysis, her essential point seems somehow to ring true. Whole language is a very active and prominent movement. More and more, it dominates journals, conference agendas, workshop and in-service opportunities, course offerings, and even basal design and marketing strategies. The only conceivable explanation for the burgeoning popularity of the whole language movement is that something within it strikes a deeply resonant chord in many, many teachers and reading professionals. For this reason alone, it is both timely and welcome that The Orton Dyslexia Society should devote a special symposium to it. Yet, detractors from the whole language movement are at least as adamant. And, thus, we find ourselves in the midst of a full-scale reading “war.” (Rothman 1990) Listening to either side and looking to the other, it is difficult to believe that so many could be so wrong. And, indeed, toward mediating or understanding any deadlocked argument, the rule of thumb is that both sides are right but are talking past each other; most often, their principal concerns well from wholly different issues within the domain.

  • A Study on Promoting Early Reading Ability Through an Explicit High-Frequency Sight Word Instruction
    English Language & Literature Teaching, Vol. 17, No. 1 Spring 2011 A Study on Promoting Early Reading Ability through an Explicit High-frequency Sight Word Instruction Keun Huh (Hannam University) Huh, Keun. (2011). A study on promoting early reading ability through an explicit high-frequency sight word instruction. English Language & Literature Teaching, 17(1), 17-35. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of an explicit word instruction for EFL beginning readers and their perception on the learning experience. Data were attained from 16 fourth graders who took English class as a development activity. Data include the results of pre- and post-test of high frequency sight word recognition, oral reading ability, students’ survey responses, and teacher observation. The descriptive statistics were obtained for the result of the pre- and post-test. The findings from the student survey and teacher observation were also provided and interpreted to better understand the result of project and students’ perception on the learning experience. The followings are the results of this study. The word recognition ability of the students was dramatically improved after the project. The students were satisfied with the overall learning experience perceiving it as helpful and fun learning. They expressed that the explicit word instruction helped their word recognition and reading ability. The results also supported that the confidence of students on their reading ability were heightened. Several suggestions are made for teachers and researchers on the word instruction for young EFL learners who are beginning readers. [a word instruction/sight words/high frequency words] I. INTRODUCTION Since 1997, English education in elementary schools has primarily focused on teaching students’ oral skills.

  • Speed Reading Courses and Their Effect on Reading Authentic Texts: a Preliminary Investigation
    Reading in a Foreign Language April 2010, Volume 22, No. 1 ISSN 1539-0578 pp. 104–116 Speed reading courses and their effect on reading authentic texts: A preliminary investigation John Macalister Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand Abstract Fluent reading is essential for successful comprehension. One dimension of reading fluency is reading rate, or reading speed. Because of the importance of reading fluency, fluency development activities should be incorporated into classroom practice. One activity that meets the fluency development conditions proposed by Nation (2007) is speed reading. An important question is whether reading speed gains measured in words per minute on controlled speed reading texts transfer to other types of texts. This paper reports on a preliminary, small-scale investigation of this question. The findings suggest that a speed reading course may contribute to faster reading speeds on other types of texts, but there remains a need for further experimental research into the impact of speed reading courses. Keywords: reading speed, reading rate, reading fluency, speed reading, reading fluency development The importance of reading speed to successful reading is neatly portrayed in the two contrasting circles of the weak reader and the good reader (Nuttall, 1996, p. 127). In “the virtuous circle of the good reader” reading faster is linked to greater quantity of reading, better understanding, and greater enjoyment, whereas in “the vicious circle of the weak reader” lack of understanding, lack of enjoyment, lack of reading, and slow reading feed off each other. It is the teacher’s role, therefore, to help learners move from this “cycle of frustration and enter instead the cycle of growth” that the virtuous circle represents.

  • JAASEP WINTER, 2012 152 Does Repeated Reading Improve
    Does Repeated Reading Improve Reading Fluency and Comprehension for Struggling Adolescent Readers? Kristine Lynn Still, Ph.D. Christine A. Flynt Cleveland State University Abstract This was a 12-week study that explored the effects of repeated peer readings on struggling adolescent readers. It was a quasi-experimental design with one treatment group and one control group. There were two small group English classes that were consistently using the repeated reading strategy (the treatment group) and students in the co-teach English class who were not using the repeated reading strategy (the control group). The students were not randomly assigned. The pre- and posttests given were the AIMSweb (to measure fluency) and Scholastic Reading Inventory (to measure comprehension). This study investigated the effects of repeated peer reading on reading fluency and comprehension. It also explored the relationship between reading fluency and comprehension. In the area of reading fluency, the results showed that one participant in the treatment group increased and five participants from the control group improved. In the area of reading comprehension, six of the treatment group participants increased and six of the control group participants improved. The participants in the treatment group had larger gains in comprehension than did the control group participants. The data indicated an inconsistent relationship between reading fluency and comprehension. Repeated Readings Improvement on Fluency & Comprehension Reading fluency is usually developed in second or third grade, but there are many adolescents who struggle with this basic reading skill that was never developed at an earlier age. Many adolescents with learning disabilities struggle to read fluently and comprehend what they are reading.
