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
magazine
:
a
never
-
ending
flood
of
words
.
In
____________________
a
job
or
advancing
in
one
,
the
ability
to
read
and
comprehend
____________________
can
mean
the
difference
between
success
and
failure
.
Yet
the
unfortunate
fact
is
that
most
of
us
are
____________________
readers
.
Most
of
us
develop
poor
reading
____________________
at
an
early
age
,
and
never
____________________
over
them
.
The
main
____________________
lies
in
the
actual
stuff
of
language
itself
-
words
.
Taken
individually
,
words
have
little
meaning
until
they
are
____________________
to
gather
into
phrase
,
sentences
and
paragraphs
.
____________________
,
however
,
the
untrained
reader
does
not
read
groups
of
words
.
He
94
laboriously
reads
one
word
at
a
time
,
often
____________________
to
____________________
words
or
passages
,
Regression
,
the
tendency
to
look
back
over
____________________
you
have
just
read
,
is
a
common
bad
habit
in
____________________
.
Another
habit
which
____________________
down
the
speed
of
reading
is
vocalization
?
sounding
each
word
either
orally
or
mentally
as
____________________
reads
.
To
overcome
these
bad
habits
,
some
reading
clinics
use
a
device
called
an
____________________
,
which
moves
a
bar
(
or
curtain
)
down
the
page
at
a
____________________
speed
.
The
bar
is
set
at
a
slightly
faster
rate
____________________
the
reader
finds
comfortable
,
in
order
to
stretch
him
.
The
accelerator
forces
the
reader
to
read
fast
,
making
word
-
by
-
word
reading
,
regression
and
subvocalization
,
practically
impossible
.
At
first
____________________
is
sacrificed
for
speed
.
But
when
you
learn
to
read
____________________
and
concepts
,
you
will
not
only
read
faster
,
____________________
your
comprehension
will
improve
.
Many
people
have
found
____________________
reading
skill
drastically
improved
after
some
training
.

a

for

,
his
reading
rate
was

good

a

____________________
the

now
it
is

He
is
delighted
that
how
he
can
get

a

more

material
in
a
short
period
of
time
