A freak talent? Mrs Quist will be the first to tell you she’s no genius when it comes to reading All her life she read about 314 words a minute — just a little faster than the naYou’ll find tional average The problem with Mrs Quist was that she read the “old way”— word by word If you don't think that's a problem try an experiment: see how fast you can talk You'll find you reach a limit — about 225 words a minute if you’re good When you sound out words in your head you bog down in the same way Even reading phrase by phrase has its modest limitations But when you train your eye to move down the page and read chunks of text — even long paragraphs — at a glance there’s almost no limit to the amount of material you can cover Can one really comprehend this way? Why you’re doing it all the time For example when you drive a car you don’t look at everything happening on the road item by item Your eye takes in the whole scene at a glance and your mind puts it together to form a “picture” can do the same thing with reading Then why do we tend to read slowly? We're trained to hear every word we read and see each word in sequence Until recently nobody believed it could be done any other way It took Evelyn Wood almost twenty years of study to evolve a new reading technique that allows you to read at unusually high rates with no sacrifice of comprehension or reading enjoyment There’s no trick And there’s no mystery We show you what to do and you practice until the new habit is formed You You can do it too! probably have one more question — was Mr Quist impressed with his wife's amazing speed? Not really He reads at over 3805 words a minute! And just look at the beginning and ending speeds of other typical readers like yourself You Impromement by typical graduates in words per minute Difficult Reading Light Reading End End Beg Beg Utah schoolteacher discovers dynamic reading Evelyn Wood first observed dynamic reading 18 years ago when a professor at the University of Utah read her term paper at an amazing 6000 words a minute Mrs Wood's curiosity caused her to look for other exceptional readers and over the next few years she found 50 people who could read faster than 1500 words per minute with fine comprehension outstanding recall She taught her method at the University of Utah for three years refining it even more Further studies were conducted at the University of Delaware and the first Reading Dynamics Institute was opened in Washington DC in September 1959 Since that time institutes have been opened in 75 major cities throughout the country and national enrollment for the course has topped 300000 Comprehension is stressed At a recent teacher training conference Mrs Wood emphasized that dynamic reading is nothing like the skimming techniques commonly used in speed reading courses She said “Skipping words is dangerous as you don't know whether or not you have skipped a word which could change the whole meaning of the sentence” “You read five times faster” she pointed out “not by reading every fifth word but by reading five times as words in the same amount of time” Mrs Wood many emphasized that using her technique of rapid reading every word on the page is read No mechanical pacers She was also critical of reading courses that use a mechanical pacer as students tend to revert to previous reading speeds once the pacer is not there to help them When reading dynamically the reader's hand s:ra' ULt P'tf Tf ts: orst Ul Cier or DEMONSTRATION!
