Timed Reading

-How long do you take to do reading ?

-Keep a record of your reading

Fluency in reading not only involves speed of word recognition, but also involves
comprehension. This is why the texts in these books are followed by questions. There is no
value in reading faster if there is a big drop in comprehension.

Their aim is to increase their speed until it gets close to 250 words per minute.

What motivates us
There are many things people do every day. For example, adults must go
to work. Children must go to school and do homework. And everyone
must help around the house. There are times when do not want to do
these things. So, it is important to underastand what mitivates us.
Some think money will motivate people. Others might think rewards are
good. After all, people like money and rewards. However, these do not
last. When the money or rewards go away, the motivationis gone too.
What is agood way to motivate people? Giving people a purpose works
well. A purpose is one’s reason for doing things. An adult’s purpose for
working could be because he or she believes the job is important. It could
be because working helps his or her family. In the same way, a student
might study hard at school because he or she wants to get a certain job. A
person who cannot find a purpose for a certain job will not want to do it.
Second, people are motivated by feelings because feelings can be strong. For
example, love will motivate parents to do things for their children.
Being afraid of not getting a good grade may motivate a student to study. Happiness
will motivate people to continue doing things that make them happy. If a person
feels strongly about a job, he or she will be motivated to do that job. A student who
likes to learn or enjoys a certain subject will be motivated to study hard.
If we can motivate ourselves through purpose and feelings, then our jobs will be
more fun and interesting.
