June 19, 2015
Speed reading is a skill developed through purposeful practice. You can be a voracious reader with hundreds of read books under your belt and still not be a speed reader. However, speed reading should never come at the expense of your comprehension and although it might sound hard at the start but it does get better and better with practice. There are several iPad apps you can use yourself or with your students to teach them the art of speed reading.
