- INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST TIMED READING
-
-
- The purpose of this program is to increase your reading speed and
- comprehension. Before we begin the improvement, let's get an idea of your
- present reading rate. This will give you a way to measure your progress
- as you use the program.
-
- Choose a book that you want to read. The printed lines need to begin
- near the top of the first page that you will read, and end near the bottom
- of the last page. This will give a more accurate word count, since the
- number of lines per page is used to find the number of words read.
- (Chapters sometimes begin and end on partial pages. When you read longer
- selections later, this will not be a problem.)
-
- For this exercise, choose three or four pages to read. The computer
- will measure your reading time. When you have finished reading, you will
- be asked for the information needed to calculate your reading speed.
-
- Now you are ready to begin! Hit the ESC key.
