While participants are always polite and respectful, the waiting can be a source of frustration. Here they are finishing a passage in record time, then they have to wait. Now, if we have to wait more than a second or two, it seems like an eternity. It's the same perception. A. Two reasons.
Few people are aware that reading takes up so much valuable time.
I recently spoke with a Fortune 500 company that just sent out an employee needs survey last week. There wasn't one question about reading. Not a single one. That's how much time can be lost to ineffective reading skills. The second reason is that nobody believes that anything can be done to effectively help in this area, especially when it comes to technical reading.
