If you have the need to improve your reading or teach some to read this site is for you. We
have put up many articles on reading, teaching someone to read, and speed reading methods. We also plan on
adding more resources on reading as we grow and get them. Please fill free to print these articles and give
them to whoever you want to.
Learning to read is easy and teaching someone to read is not
so hard either if you know a few tips and tricks. You will need some patience and resources. However, if
you have the time and the ability there is no greater gift. If you are looking to improve your speed reading
ability then all you need is now how. You will also want to stick with it for more than 21 days, or speed
reading will not become a habit.
Slow reading skills are learned and
will need to be unlearned. That's why I built this web page. I was a very slow reader but loved to
read. I could not keep up with all the books I wanted to read. That's why I took up the quest to
learn to read fast. It took me some time and research to find all the right methods that worked but I
did. I now read at about 5 times as fast as I once did. And it really wasn't that hard.
Start with the articles we have here
on learning to read and speed reading. Then as you learn more about the subject of speed reading, start to
explore the resources we talk about in the articles. It's going to take you a little while before you have
a good understanding of what course or what way you will want to explore first. Come back often, we are
putting up new articles on speed reading and learning to read every week.
Speed-reading is a great tool but not if you don't comprehend what you read. The
whole point of speed-reading is to read and understand material at a faster pace so more can be accomplished in
less time. If you speed read and then don't know what it was you just read, you haven't really accomplished
anything...
There are many tricks out there to
improve reading skills, but none of them will work for some of the most serious reading problems. If your
son or daughter has a learning disability, all of the hooked on phonics in the world will not save them.
What they will need is a good, professional tutor who knows all about reading, and parents who are willing to
take the time to give them the extra help they need. Improving reading skills is something that you can
only do if you have reading skills to begin with. It will not work for the severely disabled.
From an early age, children are encouraged to write stories.
The creative process amongst youngsters takes precedence over correct spelling and grammar. That will come later.
Kids' minds can run free when they're learning how to write. They will be expected to exercise more discipline
later on. Writing has to have rules, for the purposes of understanding but creativity must never be
stifled.
The means of communication has evolved over the centuries, from writing in the sand with a stick to texting. The
only thing that worries me is that constant texting will erode the language so much, that it will become
unrecognizable. Words without vowels, abbreviations and symbols seem to be the norm.
Joining a book club can be a great
idea. It is an easy way to purchase the books you want quickly and at a discounted price. While book clubs offer
many perks, there are concerns as well. You don’t want to get yourself locked into a long term commitment or
find yourself paying for books you really didn’t want. There are some important questions to ask before
committing to a particular book club.
Many book clubs offer a wonderful introductory offer where you get several books either free or at a very low
cost. Find out about the shipping and handling associated with the shipments of the books. While most book clubs
offer you great prices on the books, you will end up paying more than at the bookstore once you add in those
shipping costs. Book Club Questions Article Here.
