Efficiency in Reading

Abstract

A Brief Review of the Advantages of Being Able to Read More Quickly, Some Proposals for Improving Reading Efficiency and the Results of Some Reading Efficiency Courses held at Hull College of Technology. Many engineers and executives in the aerospace industry have more reading to do than they can cope with efficiently in the time available to them. There are a number of reasons for slow rate of reading but it does seem to be possible for most readers to double their reading speed, with training and practice, without loss of comprehension. In fact comprehension may well improve in the process. Some methods of acquiring the skills of efficient reading are suggested.
