And you're aiming for a fast gallop! But reading at racehorse speed is mean- ingless if you don't comprehACC018804 LANDSCAPES WITH A DIFFERENCE How do you paint restlessness? For that matter, how do you paint jubilance? rage? unease? terror? Those are prob- lems that have preoccupied the Expres- sionist painters of this century. Their aim has been t a machine. Since reading is essentially a mental process, the most effective way to develop phrase reading is to look for the author's thoughts. Once you begin thinking along with the author, you will naturally begin read- ing in phrases. You can practiediate- ly apply them to the activity of reading itself. It's a bit like learning to play tennis. Once you know the basics, you improve your game only with practice. There are several ways to practice STOP phrase reading on your own, without the aid ofo remember what you read. STOP Learning to phrase read can be diffi- cult, however, if you're accustomed to reading one word at a time. You can do exercises to widen your eye span and quicken your perception. But these drills are useful only if you imms that your retention usually improves not only because you're comprehending better, but also because you're probably approaching your reading with a more positive attitude. Once reading be- comes less boring and taxing, you're in a better frame of mind trehension, there are two other advantages to phrase reading. One is that reading simply becomes easier and more enjoyable. It is no longer a tiresome task because you're STOP reading more in less time and under- standing it better. The other advantage i has taken four fixations, or about one second. STOP The efficient reader, on the other hand, avoids this laborious process by grasping the entire phrase, one brisk October day, in one fixation. In addition to increased speed and improved comp wait to understand its relation to one. Perhaps the third word, October, will complete the thought. But it is only upon reading the fourth word, day, that he has finally fed his brain all the information it needs to understand the author's meaning. Thisphrase reading closely simulates the way the mind works, and therefore improves comprehension. For example, let's say an inefficient STOP reader comes upon the word one, which has little meaning by itself. He then takes in the word brisk, but must stillSTOP begin reading two words in the same amount of time, you have doubled your reading speed! You're now reading 480 words per minute. We can define phrases as two or more words which make up a meaningful thought unit. Since we think in thought units, perception and interpretation of groups of words in one glance. Suppose that you read only one word in each fixation, which lasts about 1/4 of a second. This means that you read about 4 words per second, or approxi- mately 240 words per minute. If you PRSTUVefghend what you're reading. The two goals in speed reading which run neck and neck are speed and comprehension. STOP Phrase reading is a technique you can practice which accomplishes both of these goals. As you've learned, one key in speed reading is the o put visual equivalents of feelings, thoughts, and other inner mental states directly on canvas. STOP Early Expressionists, like the Aus- trian Oskar Kokoschka, went along half- heartedly with the tradition that art should mirror the recognizable world.WYZ[TEXT \GYou read this selection at GWPM words &per minute, READER.

You can also practice reading at very high speeds so that it's impossible to subvocalize. Another common reading habit is to go back over material which has alread throat while you're reading. If you detect slight vibra- tions, you're probably subvocalizing. Although everyone relies on subvo- calization to some extent, you can reduce this inefficient habit by prac- ticing rapid perception drills, where STOP you tn 200 words per minute for most people. An effective way to stop lip movements STOP is to try to keep a pencil or similar object clenched between the teeth while reading. You can test yourself for other subvocal movements by putting your fingers to yourt con- tinued to "hear" the words in your mind. Moving the lips or throat parts, or hearing internally, is called subvocal- ization. These two habits reinforce slow reading pace because you're re- stricted to the pace at which you speak, which is less tha, you first learned to read aloud. When you were told to read silently, you may still have sounded the words to yourself. Perhaps you simply moved your lips or throat muscles while STOP reading silently. Later, you may have quieted your speech organs, buleap. Their reading speed is restricted to STOP a slow word-by-word pace. Reading word by word often becomes a fixed habit because of two other in- efficient practices left over from our elementary training: vocalization and subvocalization.

STOP Mist mutes the colors of light. Water reflects dulled light. Mist obscures the shape, bulk, and color of objects. And all this is rendered almost totally in pastel hues--blue, violet, rnes of different colors side by side, letting the viewer's eye mix them at a distance, forming an im- pression of reality. The reason Monet is widely praised as the laureate of the style is his master- ly portrayal of light and atmosphere acting on one a The joke was on the critic.
