Speed Reading - HUMBUG!

Bill White on Summa Minutiae has some ‘bad’ things to say about speed reading.
I second that motion.
One of his commentators suggests reading aloud.
I second that motion, too.
Having children has gotten me into that habit. And it is one that I recommend to my own children when they have trouble comprehending material. Or even enjoying it! Read it aloud to yourself or to a sibling (especially if reading to an audience of 0 makes one self-conscious.) Babies love to be read to. Dad has been known to read technical literature to infants- definitely more for his benefit than the baby’s. (Oh the treasure of info on alternative energy and bio-fuels that is locked away in the subconscious minds of my children.)
