Read?
(Third in A Series of Four)
Mrs. Lillian R. Wynn
An underdeveloped art may
stand between you and a wealth
that’s rightfully yours. In short,
maybe you’re being robbed. The
thief: the underdeveloped art of
reading which keeps you on the
outside of the world’s rich store¬
house of reading for valuable in¬
formation and a wealth of pleas¬
ure.
One reading expert has said that
at least GO per cent of Americans
do not read well.
Norman Lewis, author of “How
to Read Better and Faster,” says,
“Slow readers are poor readers
(and) a person reads fast because
he thinks fast, has good eye sight,
a good vocabulary and a wide back¬
ground of information. Most per¬
sons who read 10 times as fast ds
the plodder absorbs much more of
what they read than he does.”
A remedial reading teacher
adults at New York City College,
Mr. Lewis says that less than four
per cent of American adults can¬
not read at all and at least GO per
cent do not read well.
A poor vocabulary is a draw¬
back to rapid reading;
one should not stop to look
every word in a dictionary,
should try to decipher the
ing of the wotd through the
text.
A child who does not read well
is likely to fail in school. Mrs. Ruth
McCoy Harris, contends that “de¬
linquents have a long record
school failures, beginning with
reading problems.”
According to Dr. Stella S. Cen¬
ter, head of the New York Univer¬
sity Reading Clinic, the chief read¬
ing faults are reading one word
at a time and turning back to re¬
read. Most persons who read

slowly vocalize nearly every word.
To keep from vocalizing one should
read easy material faster so that
there is no time to pronounce, arid
most important, one should focus
his mind on the material at hand,
the authors thoughts. This is the
surest way to keep from regress¬
ing. One reads efficiently when
his mind and imagination are cap¬
tivated by what he is reading.
How fa t do you read? You
| may use your watch or your clock
to check yourself. Count the words
in a newspaper or magazine article
which interests you; note the num¬
ber on a sheet of paper; check
your watch or clock at th» time
you begin reading, and at the time
you finish reading. Divide the
number of words in the article by
the number of minutes it took you
to read the article. The answer
will be your word per minute rate.
I)o this for several weeks or sev¬
eral months and you will be sur¬
prised at the progress you make.
Each time you read, make yourself
go faster. Your rate may increase
from 250 words a minute to 050
words a minute. Try it. It could
be fun!
If you read 225 words a minute,
you are reading at about the na¬
tional average, and as well as a
sixth-grade student. Kt this rate
of reading, newspaper articles and
magazine articles will not be en¬
joyable. High school students get
Into difficulty when they read he
low 350 word a minute, and col¬
lege students who lead below :!50
words a minute are likely to have
till kinds of trouble in preparing
class assignments. For some jobs,
employees have found that GOO
w, "'ds a minute is too slow. Lewis,
