As reading is a skill that is important to nearly every job, whether it is a desk job or a marketing job, for an engineer, a researcher, a pilot or a doctor. It is an area which every professional should examine closely as by reading newspaper, journals, magazines they get to know about the recent procedures, styles, trends and even the customer\u2018s requirements.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Therefore, employees spend an average of half their work time reading some or other things and if they could improve their reading efficiency they could greatly improve productivity.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015We used to pick up the telephone.

Reading and writing are more important than ever.\u2016<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">- Gloria Pincu, president of Basic Learning Systems, a training firm in Plantation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<ol start=\"4\">\r\n \t<li><strong> Types of Reading<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Reading is not that simple. It is not only about looking through the content, but also to understand and comprehend it. The various types of reading are given below:<\/p>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-115 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp07.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-59.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"446\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.1 Sampling<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sampling is a reading type useful in deciding the relevant material for people to read. For that it is important to read the preface or foreword, contents page, beginning and conclusion. By this time a reader can take the decision whether to read the entire material, or a part of it from between, or the review.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.2 Labelling<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is a type of reading that does not focus on the details of the entire text, an article or a book. When time is not sufficient to go through the details but still one wants to have an overall idea of what the concept is all about.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For example if people want to read news paper but have less time, they will at least try to read the headings, look at the pictures and to any attractive graph or non verbalcomponent to roughly build an idea on the activities, events and accomplishments of the day.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.3 Skimming<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-116 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp07.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-60.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"627\" height=\"406\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Source: Viernes (2012) \u2015Skimming &amp; Scanning\u2016, available online at<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tecnicasdelecturavelozer.blogspot.in\/2012\/04\/skimming-and-scanning.html\">http:\/\/tecnicasdelecturavelozer.blogspot.in\/2012\/04\/skimming-and-scanning.html<\/a><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Skimming is where the reader reads quickly taking minimum pauses, and do not attempt to look into all the details and focus on the central idea and connected details of the text message. While skimming the focus is just on the starting line or the last line of any paragraph and quickly viewing the subheadings and pictures, to get an overall idea.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.4 Studying<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Studying is more serious of all types of reading. When reading a technical, business orscientific document of greater importance which the readerhave to store itinhis\/her permanent memory, and might have to reproduce, use, refer, apply the knowledge associated to it, then we may say that the reader is actually studying the material. Studying a text involves almost all the techniques of reading.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When readingfor the first time, it is important to identify its major and associated ideas, underline the main ideas and to make notes,and then to prepare a paraphrase or summary of the text. To summarize, elimination of unimportant detailsand substitution of longer descriptions with suitable idioms and one word substitutes is required. The lucidity and logic in the text should not be lost. The next phase is interpreting the text where the need is to thoroughly understand the central and associated ideas, tone and intention of the author. Such type of reading would enable in understanding the major, minor ideas of the text, comprehend the use of language in the text, distinguish between explicit and implicit information, and draw inferences and conclusions.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.5Summarizing<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is a process where the readercompact the length of the original text; a good summary would be one third of the original text. While readingone should identify some important points, either underline or mark a note of them in a note book. Understand the logical ordering of idea and consistency of the text. Hence, after reviewing one can start writing the summary with lowest amountof words. This is possible only when you can substitute many words with a single word;eliminate unnecessary details, descriptions, and examples. The lucidity and clarity have to be maintained.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.6Scanning<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-117 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp07.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"378\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Source: Viernes (2012) \u2015Skimming &amp; Scanning\u2016, available online at<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tecnicasdelecturavelozer.blogspot.in\/2012\/04\/skimming-and-scanning.html\">http:\/\/tecnicasdelecturavelozer.blogspot.in\/2012\/04\/skimming-and-scanning.html<\/a><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Scanning is a type of reading that gives the reader sufficient time to look into the central idea and the supplementary ideas linked with it. The reader should carefully look for necessary details. This is an advanced skill that can be polished.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTo gain expertise in scanning:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first step is to know the purpose before you read.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adequate concentration is also an essential requirement.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ability to use guides and aids, and ability to understand the organizational procedures<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAll this may help in improving scanning skills.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a student and as a professional when someone is reading reference material they are supposed to comprehend, explain, describe, differentiate and summarize the required material. Scanning is the skill useful in this regard. Much knowledge can be acquired by focusing on the specific part of the text that contains the necessary information and avoid the rest.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>4.7Comprehension<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Reading with comprehension helps in understanding the concept, grasping the important data and acquiring knowledge. As words may carry different connotation; the direct meaning or the applied meaning depending on the context, emphasis, etc therefore reading with comprehension assist in analyzing the right meaning of words.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComprehending Passages:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere are techniques for better comprehension:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Read the passage to get its general meaning, and note down the main points.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Read all the questions attentively and look for answers.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Be precise and to the point in answering the questions.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Be cautious about the usage of grammar, spelling and punctuation.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis ability can be acquired through intensive and disciplined practice.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Different types of reading aims to aid you in various ways; acquiring knowledge, defining, listing things, describing, identifying specific material, showing or quoting any specific matter. To be familiar with this entire thing one should assess the overall purpose of the text, the central idea or theme, and logical organization of the ideas. The reading materials are generally newspapers, magazines, books, encyclopaedias etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol start=\"5\">\r\n \t<li><strong> Reading with different pace<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to Edward Fry, it is observed that there are three reading speeds \u2017study, reading speed, average reading speed and skimming speed. Grading of each of them is given below:<\/p>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-118 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp07.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-62.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"546\" height=\"146\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Source: Das, B. &amp;Satpathy, I. (2007) <em>Business Communication &amp; Personality Development<\/em>, Excel book\u2018s publication.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The study reading speed is used for reading material that deals with difficult arguments, ideas and notions, etc. This kind of reading aims at almost total comprehension and retention of what has been read. A good study reader can read 200 to 300 words per minute. Similarly, the \u2017average reading speed\u2018 is the speed used for reading newspapers, magazines, novels, etc. A good average reading speed is 250 words per minute. \u2017Skimming is\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">recognized as the fastest reading speed\u2018. A good reader is one who, keeping his purpose in mind can quickly attain the required speed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<strong><em>\u00a0 5.1 Speed Reading<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-119 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp07.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-63.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"377\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In fact, it is never too late to improve one\u2018s speed of reading.Many reading trainers do not want to be associated with the term \u2017speed reading\u2018 because of the negative association it has gained over the years. Most trainers say they teach people how to read faster but that their methods include many other things more than just training in speed reading.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSome Ambiguous notions related to speed reading are:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.1.1 Lack in Comprehension:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is a misleading idea that \u2017when reading speed increases, comprehension suffers\u2018. Therefore, to improve speedone must try to cultivate the habit of looking at larger groups of words and of moving ahead faster. The wider one\u2018s \u2017eyes span\u2018, the greater will be his or her speed to comprehend.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.1.2 Finger Pacing on words:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another deceptive belief is the habit which slows down reading speed is the \u2017practice of pointing at the words with pencil, pen or finger\u2018 and going back to words which have already been read. This is truly a myth as we have the example of Evelyn Wood, a teacher who is said to read 5,000 wpm by dragging her finger along the page as a pacer.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Speed reading gained reputation when President John F. Kennedy brought teachers from the Evelyn Wood DynamicsReading Program to the White House to instruct his staff. Wood\u2018s finger-pacing method is used to increase the rapidity of eye movements and to decrease the length of eye pauses. One reason people read slowly is because they lose their place and either re-read words or skip lines. The finger method is intended to keep a reader\u2018s eyes oriented to the page and moving smoothly from one line of text to another.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.1.3 Reading through eyes &amp; brain<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Montvale, N.J., said that, \u2015What Evelyn Wood tries to do is to teach you to look at, and pull meaning from, words in groups\u2016. This viewpointbelieves that individuals read with their eyes, and by training the eyes to move faster, one can read faster.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is also true that eyes are the vehicles that transmit the words, but the brain provides interpretation. As if we consider a blind person reading Braille; he uses his fingers the way a sighted person uses his eyes. Both are reading. Evidently, if your eyes work better, you can look on to the words faster. But if the eyes transmit faster than the brain, the read content will not be absorbed and the reader won\u2018t remember what he had read.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015The biggest challenge people have is thinking of 10 other things while they read,\u2016<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">-Ed Strachar, creator of Reading Genius, a training program based in Eugene, Ore.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.1.4 Sub- vocalization<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another speed-reading technique teaches the repression of subvocalization, the act of sounding the words aloud or in one\u2018s head while reading. People can read faster than speak, but when they sub vocalize, reading speed is limited to speaking speed.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015Sub vocalization helps you concentrate and understand difficult material\u2016<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">-Phyllis Mindell, Author of Power Reading<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.2 The Disadvantages<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The potential danger with speed reading is that as you increase your speed, you decrease your comprehension. Mindell said: \u2015Speed reading suggests it\u2018s possible and desirable to read extremely fast without sacrificing understanding. Innumerable research studies have demonstrated this is not possible.\u2016<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, that comprehension does not decrease with speed reading because, instead of reading a text once slowly, you read it fast several times. For example, instead of reading an article once in an hour, you can read it three times in 45 minutes. \u2015You can go through it several times rapidly and it is much more effective.\u2016 Repetition is a powerful comprehension tool.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.3 Efficient Reading<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Efficient reading techniques that teach people to read faster are:<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.3.1 Filteringthe content<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Filtering out unnecessary material and extracting key points from the rest. Some employees believe they must \u2015read every word that crosses their desks,\u2016 says Mindell. They \u2015waste too much time on material they already know or don\u2018t need to know.\u2016 Efficient reading teaches employees to do an \u2015overview to determine what justifies careful reading,\u2016 she says.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.3.2 Prioritizing reading<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dean Ulsenheimer, talks about \u2015CorporateReading Management.\u2016 The program includes \u2015establishing a purpose for all reading; organizing reading needs to fit a schedule; prioritizing reading to\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">accommodate time available; and using previewing, scanning and informationindexing techniques.\u2016 This efficient reading technique helps in prioritizing what to read first, and what can be done next.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<strong><em>\u00a0 \u00a05.3.3 Mix reading type<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most reading trainers teach students how to examine the structure of reading materials and skim for main ideas. Mindell and Ulsenheimer advocate reading important passages slowly and using highlighter pens to mark notes in the material for future reference. This is how the reading can be efficient by mixing the reading types, skimming while the content is familiar or unimportant, and studying or scanning or comprehending while things are new and important.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>5.3.4 Good vocabulary<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015Why is it that people who read a great deal, read faster?

Because your eyes can focus on one spot on the screen instead of scanning left to right, you can read much faster, he says.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To retrieve six words of text from a line on a computer screen a person\u2018s eyes will rush back and forth 60 times, High explains,\u2015Vortex is designed to deliver up to 2,000 words per minute.\u2016<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Vortex\u2018s biggest customers are brokerages and government agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency. \u2015We have a county supervisor who gets 600 e-mails a day. He used to spend almost six hours a day dealing with his e-mail. Using Vortex, he has cutreading e-mail down to less than an hour,\u2016 says High.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although the program was designed to decrease reading time, it\u2018s also ideal for employees with vision problems. High is mostly blind in his right eye and enjoys being able to read his e-mail in huge type. He says companies can \u2015save a fortune in buying larger screens for lowvision persons. With Vortex, you don\u2018t need a larger screen and you aren\u2018t limited to the maximum font size in Windows.\u2016<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>6.2 Kindle \u2013 It makes browsing easier:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Amazon released its Kindle for the Web beta.

There are various types of reading like: Sampling, Labelling, Skimming, Studying, Summarizing, Scanning, Comprehension etc. All these do help in reading but in a different way, sampling assist in deciding what the relevant material is to read, labelling provides an overall idea, and Skimming is to read quickly taking minimum pauses. Studying is more serious of all types of reading, it is used When reading a technical, business or scientific document of greater importance which the reader have to refer in future. Scanning is a type of reading that gives the reader sufficient time to look into the central idea and the subsidiary ideas associated with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In today\u2018s competitive era, reading slowly doesn\u2018t work, so it is required to increase the speed of reading. It is a misconception that\u2017when reading speed increases, comprehension suffers\u2018, rather if reading with concentrate and analyzing all the points proper understanding will be there even if reading with a good speed. To improve speed one must try to cultivate the habit of looking at larger group of words.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The e-reading is also very popular now days, many free software\u2018s like Kindle, Blio, Calibre, Stanza etc facilitate in reading through electronic mode by saving papers, and by saving time.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Reading is a fun in all; it is of a great assistance in acquiring knowledge of everything, from east to west and from north to south, it\u2018s about gaining awareness of the cosmos and then sharing the knowledge back with the cosmos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>you can view video on Types of Reading<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/EhpkjMWYu5Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<strong>1.

When reading a technical, business orscientific document of greater importance which the readerhave to store itinhis\/her permanent memory, and might have to reproduce, use, refer, apply the knowledge associated to it, then we may say that the reader is actually studying the material. Studying a text involves almost all the techniques of reading.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When readingfor the first time, it is important to identify its major and associated ideas, underline the main ideas and to make notes,and then to prepare a paraphrase or summary of the text. To summarize, elimination of unimportant detailsand substitution of longer descriptions with suitable idioms and one word substitutes is required. The lucidity and logic in the text should not be lost. The next phase is interpreting the text where the need is to thoroughly understand the central and associated ideas, tone and intention of the author. Such type of reading would enable in understanding the major, minor ideas of the text, comprehend the use of language in the text, distinguish between explicit and implicit information, and draw inferences and conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>4.5Summarizing<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is a process where the readercompact the length of the original text; a good summary would be one third of the original text. While readingone should identify some important points, either underline or mark a note of them in a note book. Understand the logical ordering of idea and consistency of the text. Hence, after reviewing one can start writing the summary with lowest amountof words. This is possible only when you can substitute many words with a single word;eliminate unnecessary details, descriptions, and examples. The lucidity and clarity have to be maintained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>4.6Scanning<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mgmtp07.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/mgmtp07\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61.png 660w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/mgmtp07\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/mgmtp07\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61-65x37.png 65w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/mgmtp07\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61-225x129.png 225w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/mgmtp07\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2018\/10\/Untitled-61-350x200.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Source: Viernes (2012) \u2015Skimming &amp; Scanning\u2016, available online at<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tecnicasdelecturavelozer.blogspot.in\/2012\/04\/skimming-and-scanning.html\">http:\/\/tecnicasdelecturavelozer.blogspot.in\/2012\/04\/skimming-and-scanning.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Scanning is a type of reading that gives the reader sufficient time to look into the central idea and the supplementary ideas linked with it.

To be familiar with this entire thing one should assess the overall purpose of the text, the central idea or theme, and logical organization of the ideas.

Most trainers say they teach people how to read faster but that their methods include many other things more than just training in speed reading.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some Ambiguous notions related to speed reading are:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.1.1 Lack in Comprehension:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is a misleading idea that \u2017when reading speed increases, comprehension suffers\u2018. Therefore, to improve speedone must try to cultivate the habit of looking at larger groups of words and of moving ahead faster. The wider one\u2018s \u2017eyes span\u2018, the greater will be his or her speed to comprehend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.1.2 Finger Pacing on words:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another deceptive belief is the habit which slows down reading speed is the \u2017practice of pointing at the words with pencil, pen or finger\u2018 and going back to words which have already been read. This is truly a myth as we have the example of Evelyn Wood, a teacher who is said to read 5,000 wpm by dragging her finger along the page as a pacer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Speed reading gained reputation when President John F. Kennedy brought teachers from the Evelyn Wood DynamicsReading Program to the White House to instruct his staff. Wood\u2018s finger-pacing method is used to increase the rapidity of eye movements and to decrease the length of eye pauses. One reason people read slowly is because they lose their place and either re-read words or skip lines. The finger method is intended to keep a reader\u2018s eyes oriented to the page and moving smoothly from one line of text to another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong><em>5.1.3 Reading through eyes &amp; brain<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Montvale, N.J., said that, \u2015What Evelyn Wood tries to do is to teach you to look at, and pull meaning from, words in groups\u2016. This viewpointbelieves that individuals read with their eyes, and by training the eyes to move faster, one can read faster.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is also true that eyes are the vehicles that transmit the words, but the brain provides interpretation. As if we consider a blind person reading Braille; he uses his fingers the way a sighted person uses his eyes. Both are reading. Evidently, if your eyes work better, you can look on to the words faster. But if the eyes transmit faster than the brain, the read content will not be absorbed and the reader won\u2018t remember what he had read.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015The biggest challenge people have is thinking of 10 other things while they read,\u2016<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">-Ed Strachar, creator of Reading Genius, a training program based in Eugene, Ore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.1.4 Sub- vocalization<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another speed-reading technique teaches the repression of subvocalization, the act of sounding the words aloud or in one\u2018s head while reading. People can read faster than speak, but when they sub vocalize, reading speed is limited to speaking speed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015Sub vocalization helps you concentrate and understand difficult material\u2016<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">-Phyllis Mindell, Author of Power Reading<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.2 The Disadvantages<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The potential danger with speed reading is that as you increase your speed, you decrease your comprehension. Mindell said: \u2015Speed reading suggests it\u2018s possible and desirable to read extremely fast without sacrificing understanding. Innumerable research studies have demonstrated this is not possible.\u2016<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, that comprehension does not decrease with speed reading because, instead of reading a text once slowly, you read it fast several times. For example, instead of reading an article once in an hour, you can read it three times in 45 minutes. \u2015You can go through it several times rapidly and it is much more effective.\u2016 Repetition is a powerful comprehension tool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.3 Efficient Reading<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Efficient reading techniques that teach people to read faster are:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.3.1 Filteringthe content<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Filtering out unnecessary material and extracting key points from the rest. Some employees believe they must \u2015read every word that crosses their desks,\u2016 says Mindell. They \u2015waste too much time on material they already know or don\u2018t need to know.\u2016 Efficient reading teaches employees to do an \u2015overview to determine what justifies careful reading,\u2016 she says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.3.2 Prioritizing reading<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dean Ulsenheimer, talks about \u2015CorporateReading Management.\u2016 The program includes \u2015establishing a purpose for all reading; organizing reading needs to fit a schedule; prioritizing reading to\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">accommodate time available; and using previewing, scanning and informationindexing techniques.\u2016 This efficient reading technique helps in prioritizing what to read first, and what can be done next.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0 \u00a05.3.3 Mix reading type<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most reading trainers teach students how to examine the structure of reading materials and skim for main ideas. Mindell and Ulsenheimer advocate reading important passages slowly and using highlighter pens to mark notes in the material for future reference. This is how the reading can be efficient by mixing the reading types, skimming while the content is familiar or unimportant, and studying or scanning or comprehending while things are new and important.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5.3.4 Good vocabulary<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015Why is it that people who read a great deal, read faster?

Letter on papers written by pen are very less in use and the e-mails float in every single second. Even the study contents are available online now days. A growing number of largely e-reading software programs are also available independent of specific e-readers. Here are some of the most interesting efforts:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>6.1 Vortex &#8211; The program to decrease reading time:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0Reading on the computer screen is more difficult than reading on paper because of the glare, the shape of the screen and the software programs\u2018 scrolling mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2015Most people lose 20 percent of their speed and accuracy when reading from a computer screen\u2016<\/p>\n<p>-High<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A speed-reading software program called Vortex has been developed that takes the text in email, Internet sites or any Microsoft word processing document and flashes it back to you one word at a time. Because your eyes can focus on one spot on the screen instead of scanning left to right, you can read much faster, he says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To retrieve six words of text from a line on a computer screen a person\u2018s eyes will rush back and forth 60 times, High explains,\u2015Vortex is designed to deliver up to 2,000 words per minute.\u2016<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Vortex\u2018s biggest customers are brokerages and government agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency. \u2015We have a county supervisor who gets 600 e-mails a day. He used to spend almost six hours a day dealing with his e-mail. Using Vortex, he has cutreading e-mail down to less than an hour,\u2016 says High.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although the program was designed to decrease reading time, it\u2018s also ideal for employees with vision problems. High is mostly blind in his right eye and enjoys being able to read his e-mail in huge type. He says companies can \u2015save a fortune in buying larger screens for lowvision persons. With Vortex, you don\u2018t need a larger screen and you aren\u2018t limited to the maximum font size in Windows.\u2016<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>6.2 Kindle \u2013 It makes browsing easier:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Amazon released its Kindle for the Web beta. Intended to make it easier for customers to browse Amazon\u2018s book offerings, sampling Kindle books through their web browsers without having to install or download special software.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Amazon is encouraging its content partners to embed samples of their Kindle books on their websites, earning referral fees from Amazon if customers buy books through this process. Users identify books of interest at the Amazon.com and click on the \u2015read first chapter free\u2016 button to open the first chapter within that webpage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Users can change fonts, background color, or line spacing, as well as share their selections or comments using Twitter, Facebook, or email from that webpage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>6.3 Blio \u2013 independent, free e-reading software:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ray Kurzweil innovatedBlio in 2010.

There are various types of reading like: Sampling, Labelling, Skimming, Studying, Summarizing, Scanning, Comprehension etc. All these do help in reading but in a different way, sampling assist in deciding what the relevant material is to read, labelling provides an overall idea, and Skimming is to read quickly taking minimum pauses. Studying is more serious of all types of reading, it is used When reading a technical, business or scientific document of greater importance which the reader have to refer in future. Scanning is a type of reading that gives the reader sufficient time to look into the central idea and the subsidiary ideas associated with it.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In today\u2018s competitive era, reading slowly doesn\u2018t work, so it is required to increase the speed of reading. It is a misconception that\u2017when reading speed increases, comprehension suffers\u2018, rather if reading with concentrate and analyzing all the points proper understanding will be there even if reading with a good speed. To improve speed one must try to cultivate the habit of looking at larger group of words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The e-reading is also very popular now days, many free software\u2018s like Kindle, Blio, Calibre, Stanza etc facilitate in reading through electronic mode by saving papers, and by saving time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Reading is a fun in all; it is of a great assistance in acquiring knowledge of everything, from east to west and from north to south, it\u2018s about gaining awareness of the cosmos and then sharing the knowledge back with the cosmos.<\/p>\n<div>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>you can view video on Types of Reading<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/EhpkjMWYu5Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>1.
