In the first grade, when you were taught to read "Run Spot Run," you had to read it out loud. Word-by-word. Later, in the second grade, you were asked to read silently. But' you couldn't do it. You stopped reading out loud, but you continued to say every word to yourself. Chances are, you're doing it right now. This means that you read only as fast as you talk. About 250 to 300 words per minute. (Guiness' Book of World Records lists 4ohnF. Kennedy 4s. delivering the fast- est speech on record: 327 words per minute.) The Evelyn Wood Course teaches you to read without mentally saying each word to yourself. Instead of reading one word at a time, you'll learn to read groups of words. To see how natural this'is, look at the dot over the line in bold type. grass is green- You, immediately see all three words. Now look at the dot between the next two lines of type,. and it grows when it rains With training, you'll learn to use your inate ability to see groups of words. As an Evelyn Wood graduate, you'll be able to read between 1,000 and 3,000 words per minute . . . depending on the difficulty of the 'material. At 1,000 words per minute, you'll be able to read a text book like Hofstadtier's American Political Tradition and finish each chapter in 11 minutes.
