The SPEED READING PLUS PROGRAM will save students a great deal of study time. Most students in the program will improve their reading rate without compromising comprehension. Many students are word-by-word readers who have only one fairly low reading rate whether they are reading for pleasure or a content area textbook.

READING FLEXIBILITY is a student¹s ability to vary his/her reading rate according to the difficulty of the material and his/her purpose for reading it. Reading flexibility can be presented to students who have basic word recognition and comprehension skills. Speed Reading Plus helps to develop students¹ reading flexibility by teaching students to concentrate on, ²whole kernels/units of thought phrasing² NOT individual words.

Factors that determine the reading rate that should be used are:
A. The difficulty of the material
B. The reader¹s experience with the concepts of the material
C. The reader¹s purpose for reading the material
