If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:

1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly1 or slowly.

2. Some things should be read slowly throughout2. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic3 problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.

3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment4, news, letters from friends, items5, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbours.
