Picture
The primary focus of speed reading is to increase reading fluency - the ability to read fast with a general understanding. Speed reading courses have been demonstrated in research studies to be an effective and efficient means of improving reading fluency. Reading fluency enables access to more comprehensible input and greater enjoyment from reading. Speed reading builds confidence and is a good gateway and supplement to independent reading.

This is a graded speed reading course, each story a little harder than the previous text, since the readings parallel those from the student book "Spanish New Mini-stories for Look, I Can Talk!" (LICT). The number of different words in a story, sentence length, and structural difficulty all slightly increase. The speed reading course is for any language learner either following LICT or any learner who already has a vocabulary of the highest frequency 300 words, e.g. level 2-4 high school students.
