X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.3416 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 1299 Lines: 37 I don't know of any research on speed reading, ( I haven't looked either.)but I would think the learner's comprehension would need to be at a very good level to speed read. ABE learners do not generally have reading levels above 10.0, so speed reading may be difficult. If learners need to read more fluently, there are many strategies to increase reading. One is repeated readings. Check the LINCS site http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/ and use their search for strategies on fluency.
