. People think reading is necessary because to keep up their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, inter-office communications, not to mention newspapers and magazine. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure.
Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us develop poor reading habit at an early age and never get over them. We read word by word, that is, read a word at a time, often regressing to reread words or pages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what we have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as we read.
To overcome these habits, experts suggest using a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar down the page at a wanted speed. The bar is set at a little faster speed that the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization impossible. When you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill greatly improved after some training.
