2、ile maintaining equal or even better comprehension. In other words, you can improve the speed with which you get what you want from your reading.The average college student reads between 250 and 350 words per minute on fiction and non-technical materials. A “good“ reading speed is around 500 to 700

3、words per minute, but some people can read 1,000 words per minute or more on these materials.What makes the difference? There are three main factors involved in improving reading speed: (1) the desire to improve, (2) the willingness to try new techniques and (3) the motivation to practice.Learning t

4、o read rapidly and well presupposes that you have the necessary vocabulary and comprehension skills. When you have advanced on the reading comprehension materials to a level at which you can understand college-level materials, you will be ready to practice speed reading in earnest.BThe Role of Speed

5、 in the Reading Process/BUnderstanding the role of speed in the reading process is essential. Research shows a close relation between speed and understanding-although it is the opposite of what you might expect! Among thousands of individuals taking reading training, in most cases an increase in rat

6、e was accompanied by an increase in comprehension and a decrease in rate brought decreased comprehension with it. It appears that plodding or word-by-word analysis inhibits rather than increases understanding.Most adults are able to increase their reading rate considerably and rather quickly without

7、 lowering their comprehension. These same individuals usually show a decrease in comprehension when they reduce their rate. Such results, of course are heavily dependent upon the method used to gain the increased rate. Simply reading more rapidly without actual improvement in basic reading habits us

8、ually results in lowered comprehension.BFactors that Reduce Reading Rate/BSome of the factors which reduce reading rate:1. Limited perceptual span (word-by-word reading);2. Slow perceptual reaction time (slow recognition and response to the material)3. Vocalization (reading aloud)4. Faulty eye movem

9、ents (including inaccuracy in placement of the page, in return sweep, in rhythm and regularity of movement, etc.);5. Regression (needless or unconscious re-reading)6. Faulty habits of attention and concentration (including simple inattention during the reading act and faulty processes of retention)7

10、 Lack of practice in reading-use it or lose it!8. Fear of losing comprehension, causing the person to deliberately read more slowly;9. Habitual slow reading, in which the person cannot read faster because he or she has always read slowly;10. Poor evaluation of which aspects are important and which

11、are unimportant;11. The effort to remember everything rather than to remember selectively.Since these conditions also tend to reduce comprehension, increasing the reading rate by eliminating them is likely to produce increased comprehension, too. This is entirely different from simply speeding up th

12、e rate of reading-which may actually make the real reading problem more severe. In addition, forced acceleration may destroy confidence in ones ability to read. The obvious solution, then, is to increase rate as a part of a total improvement of the whole reading process, as special training programs

13、 in reading do.BBasic Conditions for Increasing Reading Rate/BA well-planned program prepares for maximum increase in rate by establishing the necessary conditions. Four basic conditions include:1. Have your eyes checked. Often, very slow reading is related to uncorrected eye defects.Before embarkin

14、g on a speed reading program, make sure that any correctable eye defects you may have are taken care of.2. Eliminate the habit of pronouncing words as you read. If you sound out words in your throat or whisper them, your reading rate is slowed considerably. You should be able to read most materials

15、at least two or three times faster silently than orally, because you can get meaning from phrases without reading each word individually. If you are aware of sounding or “hearing“ words as you read, try to concentrate on key words and meaningful ideas as you force yourself to read faster.3. Avoid re

16、gressing (rereading). The average student reading at 250 words per minute regresses or rereads about 20 times per page. Rereading words and phrases is a habit which will slow your reading speed down to a snails pace. Usually, it is unnecessary to reread words, for the ideas you want are explained an

17、d elaborated more fully later.Furthermore, the slowest reader usually regresses most frequently. Because he reads slowly, his mind has time to wander and his rereading reflects both his inability to concentrate and his lack of confidence in his comprehension skills.4. Develop a wider eye-span. This

18、will help you read more than one word at a glance. Since written material is less meaningful if read word by word, this will help you learn to read by phrases or thought units.BRate Adjustment/BPoor results are inevitable if the reader attempts to use the same rate for all types of material and for

19、all reading purposes. He must learn to adjust his rate to his purpose in reading and to the difficulty of the material. The fastest rate works on easy, familiar, interesting material or in reading to gather information on a particular point; A slower rate is better for material which is unfamiliar i

20、n content and language structure or which must be thoroughly digested. The effective reader adjusts his rater the ineffective reader always uses the same.Rate may be adjusted overall for an entire article, or internally for parts of an article. As an analogy, imagine that you plan to take a 100-mile

21、 mountain trip. Since this trip will include hills, curves, and a mountain pass, you estimate it will take three hours for the total trip, averaging about 35 miles an hour. This is your overall rate adjustment. In actual driving, however, you may slow down to no more than 15 miles per hour on some c

22、urves and hills, while speeding up to 50 miles per hour or more on relatively straight and level sections. This is your internal rate adjustment. Similarly, there is no set rate which the good reader follows inflexibly in reading a particular selection, even though he has set himself an overall rate

23、 for the total job.Reading rate should vary according to your reading purpose. To understand information, for example, skim or scan at a rapid rate. To determine the value of material or to read for enjoyment, read rapidly or slowly according to your feeling. To read analytically, read at a moderate

24、 pace to permit you to interrelated ideas.The nature and difficulty of the material also calls for adjustments in rate. Obviously, level of difficulty depends greatly on the particular readers knowledge. While Einsteins theories may be extremely difficult for most laymen, they would be very simple a

25、nd clear to a professor of physics. Hence, the layman and the physics professor will read the same material at different rates. Generally, difficult material will entail a slower rater simpler material will permit a faster rate. BIn general, decrease speed when you find the following:/B1. Unfamiliar

26、 terminology. Try to understand it in context at that point; otherwise, read on and return to it later.2. Difficult sentence and paragraph structure. Slow down enough to enable you to untangle them and get accurate context for the passage.3. Unfamiliar or abstract concepts. Look for applications or

27、examples of your own as well as studying those of the writer. Take enough time to get them clearly in mind.4. Detailed, technical material. This includes complicated directions, statements of difficult principles, and materials on which you have scant background.5. Material on which you want detaile

28、d retention.BIn general, Increase speed when you meet the following:/B1. Simple material with few ideas which are new to you. Move rapidly over the familiar ones; spend most of your time on the unfamiliar ideas.2. Unnecessary examples and illustrations. Since these are included to clarify ideas, mov

29、e over them rapidly when they are not needed.3. Detailed explanation and idea elaboration which you do not need.4. Broad, generalized ideas and ideas which are restatements of previous ones. These can be readily grasped, even with scan techniques.（分数：70.00）(1).A person with a good reading speed usua
