When I was in high school my parents enrolled me in a very expensive speed reading class which promised to change my life and open the doors to Harvard or Yale. This program can basically be taught in the next couple of sentences. The idea is to take your index finger and move your index finger quickly underneath the words you are reading. In turn, your eyes are supposed to follow your fingers while keeping pace. This technique is kind of like dog racing where the greyhounds are chasing this mechanized rabbit as it goes down the track. While this is a cute strategy, your eyes and your brain are a little more sophisticated than some dogs at a race track. Even though you can try to read with this...

"How can I make great comprehension exercises?" I thought to myself. First I need to start with a picture. Not just any picture. I want a picture with humans in it. I want a picture with drama in it. The picture that I use will form the core of my story. I have to mold my story around the target learning. As you can see, not just any old picture will do. It has to make us feel something. I has to have a story in it already. The other day a visitor to my website e-mailed me requesting more listening comprehension exercises. Many people tell me, "I can't understand English when I hear it." I realized I had to make some more stories. And I had to make great questions to ask about the stories. Then...

Unlike other forms of reading, the knowledge that is gained from the observance of Tarot cards, palmistry or astrology is not something that relies on the psychic ability of a person. Instead, it is a learnt skill that must be acquired through study. That is not to say that anybody can become a gifted reader. Correctly interpreting the subtle nuances of what the signs are saying is something that can not be mastered in hours, weeks, or even years; a lifetime of dedication and devotion to the study are necessary to truly understand a reading. Some people are not willing to commit to this, or do not possess the mental acuity to understand what it is they are beholding in its fullness. It is easier to...

To prepare your child for academic success, expose them to books early. Studies have shown that reading is one of the keys to academic success. My daughter loved for me to read aloud when she was a child, especially at bedtime. She loved Strawberry Shortcake, the Berenstain Bears, and any classic bedtime story. At age 30 she still loves to read. She follows Oprah's book club and she is a member of Walden's Books as well. One of my fondest memories will be our book fair excursions.

Through out the year we would discuss the books that we had read and the latest happenings on campus over dinner. I do...

Before you can learn how to speed read, you need to determine your average reading speed.  Your average reading speed is the number of words you can read per minute, or wpm (words per minute).  The average reading speed of a five year old child is in the 150 wpm range. The average reading speed of an adult doesn’t get any larger than that at 250 wpm.  The reason for this is because along the way, we pick up a lot of bad habits that slow down our reading speed, like sub-vocalization and back skipping.  With speed reading exercises, you can eliminate these bad habits and increase your average reading speed by as much as 1,000 wpm or more. To find out what your average reading speed is, you will...

Language is the expression or communication of thoughts and feelings by means of vocal sounds, and combinations of such sounds, to which meaning is attributed to human speech (Webster's Dictionary 1999). Language is significantly made up of culture, success, and free will. Language can embark upon the hidden talents of what all great writers have today: clarity, conciseness, and communication. Many people are deprived of things such as attention, the forgiveness of another person, and the ability to speak a language fluently. What several people forget is that certain experiences can lead to a deprived language outcome. To have been deprived of language, is like walking blind folded to hit a pinata...

Baby will enjoy listening to your voice whilst feeding, and that enjoyment will be associated with enjoying stories. - Don't think you have to wait until...

Reading is essential to your children's posterior success in living because their simpleness with linguistic communication is what will decide afterwards if they will be mainly intercommunicating in their chore (and hence ordering other people) or having communication (and being ordered around themselves). And since reading is so very significant, learning your children how to translate is an crucial labor in the life time of every parent and should decidedly be taken to heart and cared for. At present it can be very hard to learn them because at such a immature age their concentration is weak and they can not stick calm doing something for a long time, thus you will plausibly have a hard time...

We vary in our speed of reading to an astonishing degree. The vice-president of a large software company says, "It takes me a couple of weeks to read a book such as my boy of fourteen reads in an evening. Probably he could tell you the gist of it as well as I could, too." Contrast to him a woman I know who thinks nothing of reading three, four, or even five fat books in the course of a day, all of which she retains with considerable accuracy. Even more widely do we vary in our speed of skimming. Every experienced newspaper editor races over hundreds of thousands of words every week and manages to hold in his memory quite enough to give him his bearings about a thousand and one news items for as long...
