Having trouble with your read
ing?
Does it take a couple of hours
to read a single chapter? If so,
talk to Dr. C. E. McCandless of
the Departmentof Education and
Psychology.
“Most students realize the need
to read and remember vast
^mounts of material in a rela
tively short period of time,” said
McCandless, director of the de
partment’s reading laboratory.
In order to enable students to
cope with these extensive reading
requirements, the department is
offering two courses, one for
graduates and one for under
graduates. They are Education
681 and Education 101.

“You wouldn’t read a novel in
the same way you would a history
or a chemistry book,” McCandless
commented.
The novel might be for enjoy
ment alone while the others might
need more careful reading to dig
out facts and other information,
he said.
Average students start the
course reading about 250 words
per minute. Most students, after
four weeks of classes, are now
reading about 350 words per
minute and many are up to 200
and 300 words over their start
ing speeds.
This increase is accomplished
through laboratory work with
various machines. The magnetic
reading accelerator helps the stu
dents read quickly. It has an arm
which passes over the page of
print, blocking out lines at a
speed set by the student.
The Craig Reader is an elec
tronic device which flashes indi
vidual sentences and numbers on
a small screen. Its purpose is to
train the eye to quickly see and
record images.
As the students become pro
ficient at various reading speeds,
McCandless increases the speed
at which they set their machines.
He usually increases the speed in
50 word per minute increments.
“If you are reading at a com
fortable rate you won’t improve,”
McCandless says. As a result of
this he keeps his students read
ing at an uncomfortable rate.
Students test themselves after
each exercise to see if they have
understood what they have read.
If they have not understood the
material when read at a certain
speed they do not progress to a
faster speed. They first attain
a level of about 80 per cent com
prehension at a reading speed
and then they go to the next
plateau.
