For All Average and Challenged Readers

 

Here are the nine areas of improvement that you can experience from using the Proportional Reading (PR) approach for reading textbooks and novels and any other assigned reading. All of this can be done on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, or your Mac desktop or laptop. We will show you where to explore further each of these nine areas by going to the related movies and articles on our website: www.helpmyreading.com.

  3. b. Use your internal voice to make sense of each punctuation interval as you go along and as you read the last word in the interval.
