READ BETTER
Sharpen Your
Mind While
You Read!

Are you an alert reader? Here's how to be one
i z —sW
If you’ve been reading these
articles and doing your practic
ing you should by now have
appreciably upped your reading
speed and reading efficiency.
Now the question arises, what
use should you make of your
better, faster reading?
The answer is critical read
ing. If you ever learned a musi
cal instrument you reached a
point where you had mastered
the mechanics of fingering and
could concentrate on interpre
tation of the music.
You now have reached that
same point in reading skill.
You’re ready to dig deeper
to make your own interpreta
tions of articles and books
thereby getting the very most
from everything you read.
There are two techniques
involved in making your own
interpretations: subjective analy
sis and ofyectwe analysis. Here’s
how to use them:
1. Subjective analysis: As
you read, you should be making
a swift check of what the writer
is telling you against what you
already know yourself of the
subject. You also judge the
soundness of his opinions by
your own sense of logic.
2. Objective analysis: When
you finish reading, ask yourself
what you have learned. The

most important consideration
here is to distinguish between
a report and mere unsupported
opinion.
A report is something the
writer gives you from research
or firsthand observation; there
fore it can usually be accepted
as fact.
An opinion, on the other
hand, is only as reliable as you
believe the author to be.
See if you can classify each
of the three sentences in the
paragraph below as fact or
opinion:
According to the authorita
tive book, "North American
Game Fishes,” the Gulf Stream
off Florida's east coast is one of
the world's finest fishing areas,
with most of the notable large
game fish of die world. In a sin
gle afternoon I have seen sailfish,
marlin, tuna and huge, deadly
sharks. No fish provides greater
sport than the marlin.
The first sentence is report,
since it cites an authority for
what it says. The second is also
report, since it is the author’s
firsthand observation. The
third, however, is opinion
it’s what the writer thinks.
Critical reading not only
adds enjoyment but sharpens
your mind. It will keep you on
the alert, and make you a more
knowledgeable and interesting
person. It is one of the great
rewards of Modern Reading.
