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.
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
