Some info on speedreading Since I live in Canada, I couldn't properly advise you about study locations in Chicago. I'm sure local colleges could fill this information. There's lots online though.

There are some websites that offer you a test first to see what you can do before going further. I’ve listed a few of them here for you. I’m sure you’ll find a lot of answers and tips on these sites.

Having a good recognition vocabulary would certainly speed these processes up. Conscious practice at improving one’s speed should also help. Berg has repackaged the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course, one popular several decades ago with people like John F.Kennedy.

A reporter who attended one of Berg’s classes noted that in his five-hour course, Berg hadn’t said much about comprehension, except to suggest that it would come with practice. This did not deter several of the 35 students, who had paid $51 each for the class from the Learning Exchange in Sacramento, from purchasing audio tapes for $65 (Robertson).. Those desiring to increase the speed of their reading would do better to enroll in a community college course devoted to building study skills, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. It would cost them less, and they would not end up wasting their time trying to read 10 lines at a time, backward and forward.

They would also avoid the frustration that will be inevitable when they find that while they can skim through material at a greater rate than they can read it, the utility of such a skill is limited (good for most of what’s likely to be in the daily newspaper, for example, but not for studying physics or reading a good novel). Skimming makes both comprehension and taking pleasure in words or ideas next to impossible. Why read fiction at all if you don’t want to enjoy the language and the ideas?

Who would want to hire a physician or lawyer who skimmed rather than read his or her texts? ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.readingsoft.com/ ------------------------------------ goldie080's Recommendations What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People Amazon List Price: $18.95 Used from: $12.40 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 5 reviews) Breakthrough Rapid Reading Amazon List Price: $16.95 Used from: $8.953 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 45 reviews) The Art of Speed Reading People: How to Size People Up and Speak Their Language Amazon List Price: $18.953 Used from: $8.953 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 33 reviews) Speed Reading for Professionals (Barron's Business Success Guides) Amazon List Price: $8.953 Used from: $8.953 Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 (based on 3 reviews) 10 Days to Faster Reading Amazon List Price: $8.953 Used from: $8.953 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 16 reviews) The Complete Idiot's Guide to Speed Reading (Complete Idiot's Guide to) Amazon List Price: $16.95 Used from: $8.953 Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 (based on 6 reviews) Remember Everything You Read: The Evelyn Wood 7-Day Speed Reading & Learning Program Amazon List Price: $8.953 Used from: $2.05 Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5 (based on 56 reviews) Some choices - .

2 For required texts and getting basic information, speed reading is wonderful. A class is MORE than worth it for students! But I agree with Marshall about pleasure reading.

That's is to be taken slowly, like a glass of good wine.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
