For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work, they have to read all kinds of materials. 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 component of language itself-words. Take individually, words have _72_meaning until they are put together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.

       _73_, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often turning back 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 wither orally or mentally when a _77_reads.

       To overcome these bad habits some reading clinics use a device called an _78_, which moves a bar (or a 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 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, business managers, executives and engineers, have found _83_reading skill   improved dramatically after some training.  _84_John Muir, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 182 words a minute _85_the training, now it is an excellent 1, 378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can _86_a lot more reading.
