Reading for Results – Business Level
The Reading for Results course has been designed to improve people’s reading skills and fluency. There are several reading extracts, each having been written in an accessible and academic style to give participants practice in reading beyond decoding to word recognition and meaning. The extracts are followed by questions to test recall of facts that have been read. This is to encourage focused reading for meaning as opposed to merely decoding words.
It is anticipated that participants will start at a relatively slower reading pace, but this will improve with practice. Participants are able to monitor their own reading rate as the reading of the extract will be timed and calculated as number of words read per minute. Following this, they will be required to answer the questions from memory without access to the extract. This will allow the participants to assess themselves in terms of reading for meaning which translates into comprehending what they read.
