Tim Ferriss, the author of "The 4-Hour Workweek" and host of the Tim Ferriss Show, teaches speed reading. How to Speed Read (Tim Ferriss) (promo). Notes:
“Reading is theability to draw meaning from the printed page andinterpret this information appropriately”
“Reading is a complex cognitive task, seen variously (depending on the theoretical approach) as being dependent on either: information processing/decoding skills (bottom-up skills), background knowledge (top-down skills), an interaction between bottom-up and top-down skills, or, a complex mix of top-down and bottom-up skills combined with social”
“There is a clear relationship between the development of reading skills and the other macroskills. A well-planned language program will integrate reading and writing, speaking and listening.”
“Fluent reading depends in part on having a large sight vocabulary and a wide general vocabulary. A reader’s sight vocabulary includes words that are so familiar they are automatically recognised.”
“For adequate comprehension, research suggests that learners need to know 98 percent of the words in a text – or one unknown word to every 50–100 words.”
