No gimmicky speed-reading method, Improve Your Reading presents a practical way to increase what an individual learns from texts, notes, and resources. It's not how much or how fast one can read that matters, but how much one can understand and remember. Whether reading texts or their own notes, the reader will learn effective reading comprehension skills required for success in high school, college, and throughout life. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 8, 2001
By Ned (Zimmerman, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Improve Your Reading (Paperback)
I read this book and I love it. I read many different books on how to read/study...however, no one gave specifics about how to handle a chapter in the book (paragraph by paragraph). If you want to "comprehend" a chapter or paragraph in a book, follow this author technique...I am sure you will then know "how/why" of the subject matter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and useful, January 4, 2002
By Michael C. Hedrick (Annandale, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Improve Your Reading (Paperback)
I'm out of school now, but I wish I'd read this before college. A short and useful text on how to read and study, Fry's book provides some practical advice on smarter reading strategies. Mostly it involves knowing how to read different types of text, going into an assignment with a purpose in mind, and previewing, reviewing, and summarizing strategies. It does not teach speed reading, but effective reading. The poor student can benefit more from the book than the good one, but even good students will pick up a few tips. Flaws include hawking his other books (though not too much), and an unnecessary chapter on ADD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right Tone and The Right Touch in Teaching Todays Student, July 24, 1998
This is a wonderful update of the William H. Armstrong Study is Hard Work classic. It does not preach but reaches those who need it the most--the marginal or poor student. For those who are good students, it reaffirms that they are on the right track and may even add a point or two worth considering. Overall, I recommend this book because it speaks to today's youth in a manner that is encouraging, not condescending.
