广泛的阅读可以显著提高学习者的阅读速度的说法可以追溯到30年前，分级阅读器在促进这种阅读的计划中的作用有着更长的历史。然而，测量阅读速度的研究相对较少，并且存在的研究很少评估阅读速度与阅读教学中不同课堂方法的效果。早期关于阅读速度的研究往往侧重于帮助学习者提高阅读速度的技巧的发展，而没有认识到根据读者阅读文本的目的来改变阅读速度的重要性。在快速阅读课程中采用的这种技术也往往会导致读者的阅读理解水平较低。本文报告的研究是在阿拉伯也门共和国对在政府各部委工作的年轻成年学生进行的。它测量了两组学习者的阅读速度和理解，分别暴露于“密集”和“广泛”的阅读计划。“广泛”组接受分级阅读制度，而“密集”组则学习短文本，然后是理解问题。结果表明，受试者接触到“广泛”的阅读实现了显着更快的阅读速度和显着更高的分数的阅读理解的措施。________________________
_______________________ Claims that extensive reading could lead to significant improvements in learner's reading speeds date back thirty years, and the role of graded readers in programs to promote such reading has an even longer history. Studies that measure reading speeds have been relatively few and far between however, and those that do exist rarely evaluate reading speed in relation to the effect of different classroom methodologies in the teaching of reading. Early work on reading speed tended to focus on the development of techniques to help learners to read faster, and failed to recognize the importance of varying the speed according to the reader's purpose in approaching a text. Such techniques as have been employed on speed reading courses also tend to cause readers to suffer lower levels of reading comprehension. The study reported in this article was conducted in the Yemen Arab Republic on young adult students working in various government ministries. It measured both reading speeds and comprehension in two groups of learners exposed to "intensive" and "extensive" reading programs respectively. The "extensive" group was exposed to a regime of graded readers while the "intensive" group studied short texts followed by comprehension questions. Results indicate that subjects exposed to "extensive" reading achieved both significantly faster reading speeds and significantly higher scores on measures of reading comprehension. ________________________
