For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work, they have to read all kinds of materials. In _67_ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend _68_ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are _69_ readers.
Most of us develop poor reading _70_ at an early age, and never get over them.
The main deficiency _71_ in the actual component of language itself-words. Take individually, words have _72_ meaning until they are put together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.
_73_, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often turning back to _74_ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over _75_ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which _76_ down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word wither orally or mentally when a _77_ reads.
To overcome these bad habits some reading clinics use a device called an _78_, which moves a bar (or a curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate _79_ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, _80_ word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization, practically impossible.
At first _81_ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, _82_ your comprehension will improve.
Many people, business managers, executives and engineers, have found _83_ reading skill improved dramatically after some training. _84_ John Muir, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 182 words a minute _85_ the training, now it is an excellent 1, 378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can _86_ a lot more reading.
