If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate or speed of reading:
1 Knowing why you are reading-what you are reading to find out-will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
2 Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions tor making or doing something; arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important stop and understand each important idea.
3Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, news, letters from friends, items or bits of news from local or hometown paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.
4 In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which should be remembered.
