Hard time understanding reading? Pace Yourself.

Is there really a good pace for reading? According to Lindsay Waters if there is no good pace for reading then, there should be. Believing that Waters examined how good it is to be able to read she also believes in having that knowledge of reading. However, if you are not able to slow down what you are reading, how is there a way for you to get a clear comprehension of what is being read? Paying close attention to Waters’ example of radiologists and how important it is for them to slow their reading down, I tried to put myself in the place of one of those women. I know that I would not want to get misguiding results due to my doctor not slowing down and reading exactly what was on the scans.

Not only with the radiologists’ situation, I agree with Waters, when she states by slowing down your reading you have the chance to “expand the experience” of what is in the reading (par 25). When able to use experiences within a reading, it becomes more likely to get more involved with the reading itself. Giving you a chance to leave your surroundings and let your imagination take control.

Slowing down your reading and giving yourself time to get involved with what you are reading makes it easier to get an clearer understanding of what you have read. Believing that the main purpose for reading is to get a good understanding and I believe pacing yourself is the way to do it.

Do you think that slowing down your reading can help your comprehension overall when it comes down to readings?
