	Foundation Reading - Phonics Course for Beginning Readers http://www.booksforlearning.com.au/ This series of books is designed for parents and teachers to use with 4-7 year olds. Foundation Reading introduces children to reading in systematic steps, establishing a solid understanding of the building blocks of written text. No academic skill is more critical than the ability to read. This involves many skills, including the ability to comprehend meaning; but the first essential is to understand the relationship between sounds and written words. Children naturally acquire speech; but writing systems are man-made and need to be taught. It is essential that, from the very beginning, the building blocks of written text be presented in a precise and logical way. Foundation Reading takes beginning readers carefully through the fundamentals of reading, from initial auditory skills to letter-sound correspondences, letter groups and multi-syllabic words. This series is an invaluable tool for parents who want to ensure a successful introduction to reading for their children.

If you read at higher speeds your mind is active and will stay focussed and therefore absorb more important information. Secondly, you need to read in new ways to improve comprehension, including previewing at high speed and then re-reading the important sections word for word while you fit the information into you existing knowledge.
