You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those which you might have．
         Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions．
Do you move your lips （嘴唇） when reading silently?
Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
        
        
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once  to break the habit．If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips   while you are reading．        
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand．          If you move your head, place your chin （下巴）in one hand and hold your head still ．
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words．

A．Do you read without any sound?

B．Do you read one word at a time?

C．Do you still have any of these bad habits?

D．Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

E．Then you will have too much time to understand the words?
F．Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them．
G．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．
