For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In  67  a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend  68  can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are  69 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 70 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 71  in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 72 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 73 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to  74  words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over  75  you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which  76 down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as  77  reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an  78 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate  79  the reader finds comfortable, in order to ”stretch“ him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,  80  word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization, practically impossible. At first 81  is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 82  your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 83 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 84 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 85 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can  86  a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
