Speed reading


A few of you are wondering if I know anything about speed reading. I don't. But Keith Rayner a cognitive psychologist at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst does: "There is no such thing as speed reading...Not if your definition of reading is comprehending text." So, don't rush reading, you'll just have to read it again to understand it and that takes up more time than just reading slowly.

(If any of you are wondering how these question are being asked, scroll down the page: there is an email address at the bottom of the stuff on the right.)
