Within the past few years numerous reports have appeared describing the phenomenally high speeds achieved by students of speed reading training pro grams. Reading rates ranging from 2,000 to 8,000 words per minute are often reported. One newspaper article told of an individual reading at 30,000 words per minute. Information of this nature is being disseminated by various jour nals, magazines, brochures and circulars, with radio and television joining the chorus. We often hear people speak of other reading feats, these being per formed by mental giants, who are capa ble of reading a page at a glance and those, with a more "limited span," grasp complete paragraphs with a single fixa tion. Since these reports are being circu lated, it would seem desirable to conduct scientific inquiry concerning their valid ity (7).
