Speed Reading
The Technique to Increase Reading Speed And Understanding of Text
Speed Reading is a method of improving a reader's reading ability, improving both the speed at which a text can be assimilated, and the level of understanding of the material.
Today we are in the world of information explosion and information overload. There are so much information for both adults and children to read.
Often we hear adults and students complain that they do not enough time to finish reading what they need to read in their work or preparation for their test and examination
Reading is one of the most essential skills to help us acquire knowledge. Hence it is important and necessary for everyone, including our children to acquire the ability to read.
We need to be able to scan and filter information and facts that are useful from those that are unimportant or useless. And we must do it in the most effective way and within the shortest possible time.
Speed Reading helps your children to read and understand text more quickly. It is an essential skill in any environment where you have to master large volumes of information quickly, especially in today information society.
The Key Insight To Speed Read
The most important trick about speed reading is to know what information you want from a document before you start reading it.
If you only want an outline of the issue that the document discusses, then you can skim the document very quickly and extract only the essential facts. However, if you need to understand the real detail of the document, then you need to read it slowly enough to fully understand it.
You will get the greatest time savings from speed reading by learning to skim excessively detailed documents.
How A Skilled Reader Read
A fluent speed reader read many words in each block. He will only stay on each block for an instant, and will then move on. Only rarely will the reader's eyes skip back to a previous block of words. This reduces the amount of work that the reader's eyes have to do. It also increases the volume of information that can be examined in a given time.
How A Poor Reader Read
A poor reader often get held up by spending a lot of time reading small blocks of words. He also skip back often, losing the flow and structure of the text and overall understanding of the subject. This irregular eye movement will make reading tiring. Poor readers tend to dislike reading, and may find it harder to concentrate and understand written information.
By speed reading you can read information more quickly. You may also get a better understanding of it as you will hold more of it in short term memory.
To improve the speed of your reading, read more words in each block and reduce the length of time spent reading each block. Use a pointer to smooth the way your eyes move and reduce skip-back.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, 'Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? 'Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, 'The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?' Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, 'How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman.'
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, 'Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you.' Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a nar row bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

MUST READ
Be careful how you LIST the Names in Your HP
Be careful how you list names on your cell phone! Be Safe!
This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen.
Her handbag which contained her mobile phone, Credit card, purse...etc. ... was stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her Hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened.
Hubby says 'I've just received your sms text asking about our Pin number. I replied a little while ago.'
They rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.
The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.
Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.
The lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Sayang...... Dad, Mum etc.......
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere,be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them.
If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
PASS IT ON to people you love!!!!!!!! !

UP! UP! UP!
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP".
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver;
warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets,
work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP .
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it , you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
We could go on, but I'll wrap it UP ,
for now my time is UP, so... Time to shut UP !

WHAT IS TEACHING LIKE?
What is teaching like?
Are you inspired by the idea of pursuing a career in which you make a genuine difference to people's lives? Do you want to play an active role in your community? Are you excited by the prospect of helping young people to develop knowledge, and learn new skills? Teachers are driven by these opportunities, and committed to providing the best education to the children and young people they teach.
• It's fulfilling. After all, you'll be educating and shaping the development of a new generation. Imagine the satisfaction of helping young people turn their ambitions in to reality.
• It's life changing. In teaching someone to read, do sums, learn a new language or understand the laws of science, you will be equipping them for life. Giving young people the opportunity to develop, to enable them to fulfill their aspirations and then exceed them will not only be rewarding for you, it will mean the world to others. You will give your pupils the opportunity to lead informed and successful lives.• It's hard work. Teaching requires the highest level of commitment, to pupils and colleagues. Outside the classroom teachers are expected to prepare lessons, mark their pupils' work and contribute to the running of the school, through meeting with and supporting the other staff. Many teachers take on responsibilities outside the classroom, be it on the sports field or supervising school outings.
• It's fun. People often forget how much fun working with children and young adults can be. Remember how hilarious school plays and trips were? How many careers offer the chance to share in the enthusiasm and excitement of young people. You will relish tackling new challenges, and reaping the rewards, every day.
Teaching offers a range of opportunities and benefits that are the envy of other professions the world over. Boredom is not on the syllabus.

TEACHER'S DAY JOKES
Here are some of the jokes found from the internet to lighten you teachers.
On a special Teacher's Day, a kindergarten teacher was receiving Teacher Day gifts.
The Florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it and held it over her head, and said, "I bet I know what it is....some flowers." "That's right!" said the boy. "But how did you know?" "Just a wild guess,"she said.
The next pupil was the candy storeowner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is...a box of candy." "That's right! But how did you know?" asked the girl. ""Just a lucky guess,"" said the teacher.
The next gift was from the store owner's son. The teacher held it over her head but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and tasted it.
"Is it milk?" she asked. "No," the boy replied. The teacher repeated the process, touching another drop of the leakage to her tongue.
"Is it soft drinks?" she asked. "No," the boy replied. The teacher then said, "I give up, what is it?" The boy replied, "A puppy!"
WANT SOME MORE? HOW ABOUT THIS?
An elementary school teacher sends this note to all parents on the first day of school.
"If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I will promise not to believe everything your child says happens at home.
AND THIS....
A little girl came home from school and said to her mother, "Mommy, today in school I was punished for something that I didn't do. "The mother exclaimed, "But that's terrible! I'm going to have a talk with your teacher about this ... by the way, what was it that you didn't do?" The little girl replied, "My homework."
