Reading is the most appropriate way to world domination. That's the way Japanese people over 30 years ago. Having failed in World War II and the atomic bomb hit the U.S., Japan began to rebuild his country by reading. They began to include hundreds or even thousands of books from outside Japan, translated into Japanese, then began to encourage residents to maintain and keep reading. The results are extraordinary. Only in less than 30 years, Japan was able to get up. Even then offset the progress the United States and many other developed countries in building the economy and technology.

        The history of Japan after World War II, provides a vivid example of how to read and clearly able to bear a lot of advantages. Then read it in order to control the world.
Reading is a dynamic process to reconstruct the message that graphically desired by the researchers (Goodman 1996). In the development of reading the display are three known studies of the reading process. The first view is called by the ancient view. This view considers reading as a voice recognition process printed symbols (Harris in Olson, 1982). The second view, read as a symbol of the voice recognition process is printed, followed by understanding the meaning of explicit (Carroll in Olson, 1982). The third view is called the modern view, read not only the understanding and recognition of printed symbols, but more distant, is a critical process.
On how to read a known four kinds, namely: regular (plain), with a quick look, a glance, and high speed. First, how to read regular (ordinary). Second, how to read quickly see Skimming). Third, how to read to catch a glimpse (Scanning), and four high-speed reading (Warp Speed).

        The ability to read quickly a person should be coupled with the ability to understand the reading. A person can be said to understand the content of good reading if he can (a) know the words or sentences in reading or knowing its meaning, (b) connect the meaning, both denotative and connotative meanings held by contained in the passage, (c) knows all the meanings or perception of the meaning of it is contextual, and (d) make the value judgments based on reading the contents           of         experience.

            The ability to read quickly a person can be improved. At the time of starting to learn to read in elementary school to learn the letters, then connect the letters into words, then into a sentence without spelling out letter by letter. To improve reading speed, the first step that needs to be done is get rid of the myth, which reads: (1) reading is difficult, (2) may not use the finger when reading, (3) Reading should be done by spelling out word for word, and (4) should be read slowly   to         understand           its        contents.

 Understand   Quick   Read
            Speed ​​reading is a combination of motor skills (eye movement) or visual capabilities with a person's cognitive abilities in reading. Speed ​​reading is a mixture of speed reading with understanding the content of reading. Speed ​​read that one should understand the steps along with reading          material           that      has                   been        read.

            When we read the part quickly, the real purpose is not to search for words and pictures as quickly as possible, but to identify and understand the meaning of texts as efficiently as possible and then transfer this information into long-term memory in our brains. The ability to read quickly is to choose the content of reading skills that should be read in accordance with the objectives, which have relevance to the reader without wasting time to pursue other parts that are not   needed.

            In a quick read it a quick understanding as well. The understanding is that the priority in the speed-reading activities, not speed. However, it does not mean that reading comprehension is slow to improve, even people who used to read slower to understand the reading will be able to benefit greatly by reading quickly. As a rider, a good reader will set the pace and choose the best path to achieve its objectives. One's reading speed greatly depends on the material and the purpose of reading, and the extent to which the reader familiarity with the material.
Media   Practice    Quick    Read.

            In Teaching and learning activities (KBM), students always interact with the learning environment provided by teachers through the learning process. The learning environment includes learning objectives, instructional materials, and learning methodologies. In learning methodologies, there are two of the most prominent aspects, namely the method of learning and instructional       media  as         a          learning           tool.

            Media that can be used to improve the reading skills students can use the quick-assisted with OHP transparencies, also can use the software to read quickly. This medium has the advantage, among others (1) learning will attract more students are expected to encourage student motivation, (2) more clearly so as to facilitate student learning materials better understand its meaning, (3) learning methodology is more varied, and (4) learning focuses on students      by  conducting         various    activities.

            Learning to read faster media that can be used in improving the reading skills quickly divided into two types, namely (1) media learning speed reading for initial training, and (2) media for the measurement of learning to read fast. Both types of media that is explained in detail  as         follows.

1)    Initial Training      Media
            Speed ​​reading learning media used for initial training has many variations. Variations in media training aims to speed reading (1) train students eye movements (fixation), (2) practice concentration, (3) train the perception of students, and (4) train the memory. The four variations of the initial training media is delivered to students prior to the measurement of students quickly read                 as                     a                      whole.

            Initial training in reading speed media which aims to train the eye movement has two variations. The first media in the form of two small circles on the horizon that have different spacing in each row. Students need to see the circle without moving his head quickly.

            Good media form and alphabetical order of the numbers that were randomized in a box (rectangle). In the following rectangle contains twenty-six letters (A - Z) and numbers 1-50. Students need to draw as quickly as possible the line connecting the letters or numbers quickly and sequentially recorded latency by reducing the time to finish reading the time began to read.
            Initial training in reading speed media which aims to train students in a concentrated form of a sequence of images arranged vertically by different amounts. Form of images arranged vertically adjusted to the needs of students or students that are commonly encountered in school. Without lifting a finger, students count the number of images with a duration of not more than 30 seconds and write down on a circle are available.

            Other early media training aims to train students perceptions. This form of media lines of words arranged horizontally or vertically. Students cross out or try to find words that are similar to keywords that have been determined. Furthermore, the initial training media which aims to train students in the form of a series of memory images and figures are used to quickly (no more than 30 seconds) to the student, the student explained again.

            Of the various media are expected to start training students have the ability to move the eyes and have a pretty good memory.

           Student Media Measurement Capabilities Quick Read
           Someone must read quickly a part can condition the brain to work faster so that the concentration will be increased automatically. Thus, the ability to quickly read a person's ability to integrate motor skills (eye movement) or visual ability with cognitive ability or the contents of reading comprehension by answering questions related to reading.

            In developed countries, especially America, has conducted research on reading speed of students at every level of education. Speed ​​reading for American students in the primary in Indonesia is 140 wpm, equivalent to SMP / MT is 140 to 175 wpm, the level of Senior High School is 175 to 245 wpm, and college level 245 up to 280 wpm. For professionals, reading speed can reach 500 wpm.

            To measure students' ability to read quickly, there are two aspects that need to be measured, namely the aspect of speed reading and comprehension aspect. Aspects of reading speed can be measured by the number of words in the verse that reads divided by the difference between the initial reading by the end of time reading, while understanding is calculated by dividing the scores obtained by students with the maximum score that can be obtained by students. The results of multiplication between speed reading with understanding produces effective speed reading (KEM). In concrete terms, effective speed reading formula (KEM) is as follows.

  (1) K x B = ... ... wpm (words per minute)
         Wm

                     or

  (2) K. (60) x B = ... .... Wpm (words per minute)
         

The   wd

  Description:
 K: number of words that is read

 B:   Scores   obtained    by students
 Wn: read the time in minutes

 Si: Score ideal or maximum score

  Wd: reading time in seconds wpm: words per minute

 

            Learning media to measure the ability of fast reading speed of students must read and questions used to gauge student understanding. Readings can be taken from a variety of information media, both electronic and non electronic media.

            Learning media are quick to read this manual would require more effort from teachers, especially in correcting the results of student understanding. This can be overcome by the use of speed reading software. This software has the author made and until now there has been patented rights of authors, but the author has tested. Efforts to Improve Rapid Reading Ability to read a person's ability to rapidly integrate motor skills (eye movement) or visual ability with cognitive ability or the content of reading comprehension through answering questions related to reading. To that end, to improve the ability to read quickly, one must be able to improve motor skills and cognitive abilities.

 
            Motor skills can be improved by always practicing viksasi. Viksasi training can be done by: (1) eye exercises that aim to improve motor skills (see black circle, a kind of alphabet and numbers, read by the group said, listing the same word), (2) enhance cognitive abilities by training memory (remember the number , given the picture), and (3) continue to practice speed reading (reading passages and answering questions).

            So, there are no other words to increase the ability to read other people instead of continuous practice and create cultural activities read so far, not forced. Without reading we will be stunted, blind external knowledge, and less able to socialize. Remember, information is kept running quickly, while we still can at any time, about 24 hours per day. To that end, increase the speed of your reading skills.
