The truth may well be self-evident that all humans are created equal, but one thing our Maker did not endow us with equally is the speed at which we take in words on the printed page. This seems not so much a function of brains as of how efficiently the machinery works. A few of us are industrial vacuum cleaners, able to suck up "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" in a matter of hours. At the other extreme are the lint-pickers, those who must lip-read even Danielle Steel. The rest of us are left to carpet-sweep at the rate of three or four words at a glance, and dream of the hours that would be saved if only we were better endowed.
Onto this uneven field charged Evelyn Wood back in the late 1950’ s. She was convinced that with a little pushing, all of us, even the lint-pickets, could be transformed into vacuum cleaners. All we had to do was stop saying the words out loud in our heads—" subvocalizing" , she called it— and to stop pausing to reread words as our minds drifted away. The point was to start consuming print in bites instead of nibble. To do this, Wood wanted us to drag our fingers down the middle of the page to act as pacers, to be rabbits for the greyhounds of our eyes. She promised that the words wouldn’ t blur; the faster we went, the more we would take in.
Did her method really work? Multitudes believed it did and flocked to her Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institutes as they spread across the land. Presidents of the United States packed members of their staffs off to her schools, the better to keep from drowning in Presidential memos. Her students devoured George Orwell’ s "Animal Farm" at the rate of 1,400 words a minute.
Wood had guaranteed that her method worked on all manner of material. Not likely. So there had to be a drop of snake oil in the ointment. Still the essence of Wood’ s notion was sound.
In the late 1950’s, Evelyn Wood______.
