READING SPEED
Reading too slowly is a significant impediment for many middle school and high school students as well as adults. It interferes with comprehension and concentration and inhibits enjoyment. The curriculum developed by the Institute addresses this problem directly with techniques that increase reading speed.
A simple eye-tracking technique allows students to read more rapidly, with improved focus and comprehension. The curriculum incorporates regular timings so that students can track their progress and achieve an optimal reading speed. As students increase their reading rate, they learn to monitor their comprehension under the guidance of an instructor.
Curriculum for middle school and high school students links increased reading speed with stronger comprehension and deeper engagement with literature. Curriculum for adult readers teaches students how to control and adjust reading speed according to their purpose as readers and the type of material they are reading.
