Most reading faults can be traced(追溯) to early school training. According to Dr. Betts, two persons out of five in school were forced to read materials too difficult for them to understand at the time. This experience left them with bad reading habits. Luckily, almost anyone can learn to read faster and with more understanding. Age makes little difference. According to recent study of 138 students, all age groups showed an increase in reading rate after proper training—93%for the 50—90 age group and 142% for the 20-29. Dr. Smith says that the adult student, in 28 training hours, nearly doubles his reading speed and improves his understanding by about 30%. The best way to improve your reading, of course, is in a reading clinic. If there’s no clinic handy or can’t afford special training, most experts agree you can improve your reading ability yourself.
