Equipment assists reading accuracy Studying does not have to be such a chore if a person organ- izes well and knows how to study. This is the basis for Miss Jean Mizell's reading improvement course. Offered all three quarters, the class emphasizes speed as well as comprehension, vocabu- lary, study skills and memory work devices. Commercial speed reading schools are similar to this course, but are expensive, Miss Mizell said. They are based on the premise that increasing speed also increases comprehension because it forces concentration. Although the classroom con- tains a lot of equipment, depending on it is not emphasized because speed is lost once the machines are removed. After completing the course, the majority of students can read at least 660 words per minute, but Miss Mizell's goal for each stu- dent is to read 780 words per minute. Techniques learned in this course must be practiced if the student expects to increase or maintain his speed, she added. A. Miss Jean Mizell, reading improvement teacher, checks to see if senior Billy Stransky uses a pacer properly. B. Completing one of the memory drills, senior Sherrie Lang increases her accuracy. C. To help increase his comprehension, senior Eddy Holleman selects a new Science Research Associates drill card. D. Brad Busby, senior, selects a paperback pro- vided to practice speed reading. E. By reading The Negro Revolution, senior Mark Herforth increases his concentration skills. g.,,.,3' PAGE 242 I SENIQRS
