This book is highly interesting, and the end of each chapter contains a variety of exercises, each teaching vocabulary in a slightly different way. Students learn to define words in context, to use related words, and to use the words they've learned in their writing. Ultimate Speed Reader . This program is designed to help students improve both their reading speed and comprehension. Includes six exercises that help students build the skills needed for rapid, flexible and efficient reading.
Students register when they enter the program and their progress is then tracked and recorded.
We recommend that students plan on coming in at regular intervals, working on the program for 30 - 60 minutes per session. The skills practiced on the computer will only be helpful if the student practices using these same skills in their other reading tasks. Wiener, Harvey S. and Charles Bazerman. Basic Reading Skills Handbook . The handbook teaches vocabulary, prereading, comprehension, interpretations, and basic study skills.
