#EPUB SPEED READER SERIAL#
Many of these speed reading programs make use of a method called Rapid Serial Visualization Presentation (RSVP). Additionally, saying the words in your head as you read them, called subvocalization, is also common and known to slow readers down. Stopping to go back and reread something, which is called regression, takes you out of your reading flow and slows you down. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.But other things can happen when you read that can reduce your reading speed, especially if the material is complex or you’re not already familiar with it.

Radner Reading Charts Radner reading test Reading speed reading acuity reading speed device. Stopwatch measurements, although subject to inaccuracy from several sources, remain a reliable and simple method for analysis of reading performance. The rad-rd © is an accurate, automated computer program for measuring reading time. The results did not differ significantly among the four stoppers. Most differences ranged from -0.1 to 0.1 seconds (42.36%). The mean difference for the shorter measurements was -0.17 ± 0.1 seconds (3.91% of the mean reading time), and the mean difference for the longer measurements was 0.11 ± 0.1 seconds (2.53% of the mean reading time). Of the 144 stopwatch measurements, 97 (67.36%) were shorter, and 47 (32.64%) were equal to (n = 5) or longer than the computer measurements. The mean reading time obtained with the stopwatch measurements was 4.34 ± 0.57 seconds (196.21 ± 21.79 wpm), versus 4.44 ± 0.59 seconds (192.24 ± 22.20 wpm) by computer measurement (r = 0.84). The stopwatch measurements were then statistically compared with the rad-rd © measurements. The stoppers simultaneously measured the reading time with a stopwatch while a fifth investigator used the rad-rd © to obtain computerized measurements. In rotation, each of four examiners took a turn reading the 12 sentences from one of the four RADNER Reading Charts to three other examiners, who served as stoppers.
#EPUB SPEED READER PC#
The rad-rd © was used (in conjunction with a PC and microphone) for the computer-based measurements. To compare the reading time and reading speed measurements obtained with a stopwatch with those of an automated computer program for measuring reading speed and acuity (rad-rd © patent: AT 504635B1/10-2006).
