PR Provides Help for 18 Major Bad Reading Habits

Improved comprehension almost always results from eliminating bad reading habits. PR can quickly help individuals end the following eighteen bad reading habits:

1. Poor decoding.
2. Poor automaticity.
3. Poor fluency. This includes rushing past commas instead of pausing (which can produce situational dyslexia, easily corrected).
4. Guessing when stumped instead of backing up and sounding out text (trying different possible pronunciations if necessary):
a. An individual word.
b. Cognitive dissonance.
c. Cognitive projection.
5. Cognitive projection as one reads regularly.
6. No or poor use of auditory memory.
7. No or poor use of visual memory.
8. No thinking about what the sentence means.
9. No sensing music of sentence.
10. No hearing an inner voice.
11. Subvocalization and lip reading; not reading fast enough.
12. Reading too fast.
13. No outlining (for preview and use during reading or review).
14. No review as one reads by having each sentence repeated
15. Blaming real physical issues for what is often just a simple lack of proper modeling: lisp, speech defect.
16. Poor and limited use of dictionary due to six problems which are easily corrected.
17. Improper lighting of text; contrast and brightness problems.
18. Physical discomfort while reading/typing (easily corrected):
a. Books are not automatically held open at the right height and distance while you sit upright and relaxed, with proper neck, back and shoulder support (instead, reader crouches over book).
b. Head must be turned back and forth from paper to monitor when typing. Keyboard, monitor and printed text should all be in-line.

This article describes our progression of seven separate steps for creating good reading habits. This article describes how the program is used and each of the specific purposes.It explains briefly how our software provides help for almost every possible reading difficulty, and describes how two of the seven approaches provide different methods for anyone to immediately read text with increased speed and comprehension.

This Introductory article also explains how ideally this seven step, interactive program is combined with initial evaluation and periodic consultation. Our 16 page paper describes in depth why this should occur and spells out in detail the specific approach used by the PR trainer in the classroom, or with individual students or adults. A detailed description of the eight step initial evaluation process is also available. We offer a Free Demo DVD with free shipping anywhere in the USA.

The introductory article on PR also explains how immediate reading improvement can occur by using specialized hardware which holds book pages open. By freeing up the hands, this tool allows the reader to sit back in a relaxed and supported position and to type notes while reading. It also enables one to stop turning ones head from side to side while typing. For many people, this tool immediately improves reading comprehension and enjoyment as well as productivity.
