You didn't say how long "Elements" has reposed on your bookshelf, but unlimbering it will be well-worth your while! My sister-in-law emailed saying an English prof at Marymount College in New York in the early '60s had taught her the same technique I'd written up in this week's IOW. Also, thanks for those other tips--gotta be a million just like that, though I'm not sure how to "chunk" words. Cheers. Johnny: Thanks for Commenting!

Also, thanks for those other tips–gotta be a million just like that, though I’m not sure how to “chunk” words.

Cheers.

B. White) in our shelf but I haven't bothered reading it... I don't know if this is really speed reading, it is like an increase of reading and comprehension techniques. There is a learning center that teaches these speed readings... their really helpful. hmmm there are techniques such as "not pronouncing the word" as you read them, chunking of words, and focus... they really increase your speed...
