Day 15 - Boosting Comprehension Part 3
“If you teach what
you learned to someone else, you learn it deeper.”
SUMMARY
1. The 3 Rs for better comprehension are Read, Rite, and Relate.
2. Relate by teaching what you have read
and making the other ask you
questions.
3. Verbalize aloud what you learned in your own words.
CALCULATE YOUR READING SPEED
If you want, you can measure your reading speed today.
1. Read for 2 minutes.
2. Count the number of lines you just read.
3. Divide this number by 2.
________ lines / 2 = ________ are my lines per minute.
4. If
you have started a new book, calculate the average number of words per
line. If youʼre
using the same book, use your previous number from day 1.
1. Count the number of words in 3 lines.
2. Divide this number by 3.
________ lines / 3 = ________ are the average words per line in my
practice book.
5. Multiply your lines per minute with the average words per line of your book.
________ lines per minute X ________ words per line = ________
is my
words per minute base rate (W.P.M.).
6. Add this number to your W.P.M. tracker.

REMINDER
Prepare for your reading with the Infinity technique or juggling. Then prepare 3-5
questions you want to ask yourself about the chapter. Read for 10
minutes using
your left hand as a pacer.
Take notes on what you learned by using one of the taking notes techniques you
learned last week.
Then find a person (could be your accountability partner),
a pet or at least an
object you can tell what you learned during your reading for 3 minutes. If youʼre
talking to a person, make them ask you questions about what you read.
