单选题 When Jane was in 7 ^th grade, she found that there was a lot of trouble in reading. Her mother used to sit by her side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to her because she didn"t understand what she was reading.
In class, Jane tried to hide the fact that she couldn"t read. Her teachers gave them the last ten minutes of class to start their reading homework, and she would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending she was reading it. She had to wait until she got home so her mother could explain it to her.
(82) By 8^th grade she started comprehension a little on her own, but She still read very slowly at that time. She went out and took a course on speed reading. Then she developed her own way to read faster with better results. She started practicing these techniques every day, and as she started to read faster, her comprehension increased. So she was able to read faster with better comprehension.
She found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because, instead of getting lost in the words, you can get the general idea.
