Rate for Comprehension is a special program for training your mind and eyes to read more quickly and more accurately. Carefully structured speed reading practice raises reading comprehension levels. Practice in knowing "how to see to read" has pre-reading word skills, the story, vocabulary, phonics, spelling, syntax, and ample comprehension activities. The story section turns the computer into a tachistoscope, a phrase flasher. Students have options to read flash frames presented at 150 through 500 words per minute. The stories capture attention by their unique controlled rate of presentation as well as by their high interest content. History, geography, inventions, literature, and science come to life.
