A Secret About The Reading Code

A Secret About the Reading-Code Can Reading More - Help You Live Up to 10 Years Longer? *

Can Reading More - Help You Reduce The Risk of Alz Up To 60%? *

The average college graduate in the U.S. reads one (1) book a year reluctantly.

He/she hates reading, learning, and education. Here's why:

America's educated class reads text like a snail crossing the highway -

s-l-o-w-l-y. We're talking about lawyers, CPAs, physicians, and other

professionals.

They read complex text (not sexy novels) as low as 100 words per minutes, to a maximum of 200 wpm. That does not mean anything to you; so visualize a 200-page biography, business or law book. It takes them six-hours to complete and sort of understand their book.

For high school, college and graduate-school students - they mentally weigh spending six-hours decoding a book - to enjoying four full-length (90-minute) movies that have a plot and maybe make you laugh. Reading is too slow a method of communication - for them - thus Instant Messaging and more Videos.

Some linguistic professors (San Francisco) believe reading and writing in English

(not abbreviating) will cease-and-desist by 2015 A.D. Six years away?

Quickie

The Attention-Span of a zoo-living chimp is about sixty-seconds, but they are monkeys. High school kids have a limited Attention-Span of up to 10 minutes.

Wait! A 2nd grade student has a reading speed of 44 words per minute, with an

attention-span of up to 5-6 minutes.

College Graduates and professionals get distracted and bored, and lose their

Attention-Span and comprehension in 19-20 minutes. Google verifies it.

Today

Did you know that 60% of elementary schools do not seriously teach orthography

(spelling), and have almost eliminated teaching cursory handwriting. They are

thrilled kids learn to print the alphabet because their norm is Word Processing.

What about correct spelling when typing? Getoutterhere! Those who can spell well,

write in cursory, and comprehend complex sentences. These geniuses inhabit the top

10-15% and are often promoted to Chairmen of the department.

History

Reading as a mass skill used by the general population is relatively new. How new?

Five hundred years ago in Elizabethan England. Free Public School Education

in New York City started in 1853. Human Speech for the communication of ideas is

about 10-15,000 years old. Again reading, only 500 years. Books are still a novelty.

Bill Shakes

Bill Shakespeare received a free public education for about seven years (age 7 to 14)

because his father held a political office. He was taught to read-and-write in English

do arithmetic, learn his Catechism, and speak in Latin.

It was uncommon to send kids to school, and reading and writing was limited to the

progeny of aristocrats and wealthy tradesmen.

If caught in school speaking English and not Latin, the punishment was up to

50 strokes of the cane. Oh yeah, the walls of the schools diagrammed the English

alphabet in lower and capital letters. It contained 24 letters, not our 26.

In Bill's time - 1554 to 1616 (died at age 52) the English alphabet made U and V the

same letter, as were I and J. Spelling was still unsettled and often word-spellings

changed within paragraphs on the same page.

The Language - English

Many folks know English is the Lingua Franca of the 21st century - the second language in Asia, Africa et al. Do you know that English is a Germanic language?

The U.K. adapted English from the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes - Germanic tribes who migrated to Britain in 449 A.D. They were originally invited to settle in Britain, but liked what they saw and linked up with the British enemies.

French was introduced into the English language after 1066 A.D. by William

The Conqueror. The French (Norman Conquest) incursion dragged along basic Latin and Greek words. The verbs and small connecting words are Anglo-Saxon, while up to 40% of English etymology (derivation, history) remains Latin/Greek based.

New Scientific Research Inquiring Minds Need to Know

When we read we use our Primary Visual Cortex (obviously), and not so obviously,

our Primary Auditory Cortex.

Get this: to comprehend NEW vocabulary we learn to ASSOCIATE a visual stimulus (alphabet or phonemes) with its partner using our Auditory stimulus. We break the code from letters to sound. The visual method was the standard.

At Grenoble Universite de Savoie, Professor E. Gentaz and her team made a

breakthrough discovery. Published 3.25.09 by the PloS journal. The addition

of our Haptic (tactile, kinesthethic) sense the third stimulus of touch, plays a cementing role between seeing and hearing in reading.

So What

If you consciously use a new strategy when you read text, underlining the

sentences with a Pen, Laser Pacer, and on the Internet the Cursor of your Mouse, you can 2x (double) your reading speed with the same comprehension or better.

You vastly improve your learning skills, together with long-term memory.

Add to this, you improve your Attention Span and avoid multiple (5-7 per page)

regressions because of loss of concentration. You stop Snailing and begin reading.

This Multi-Sensory method is not just for kids in school, but enhances corporate career knowledge and creativity. Students improve their test scores up to 30%, and

dramatically raise their class grades.

College and graduate school students overcome Information Overload, and can reduce their Drop-Out rate up to 50%.

Endwords:

There are three major elements to successful reading: one: Phonemic ability - converting letters-to-sounds. Two: Orthography (spelling correctly). Three:

RN (Rapid Naming Ability) speed of comprehension and words-per-minute.

The new Tactile Effect creates a Bonding of sight, hearing and touch, and

creates speed learners. Is this important?

Question: If you can read and remember three (3) books, articles and reports

in the time your competitors (peers) can hardly finish one, are you ahead of

the learning and promotion curve? Contact us and ask us how - now.

increasing longevity.

Victoria's Secret - Too Sexy? - This will be upsetting for some men. I just heard a report about Victoria's Secret and it was interesting. Their sales were down drastically in the 4th quarter of 2007 and the report was about how they are thinking the company has gotten too far away from the heritage that made it the blockbuster company it is. They are thinking the ads etc have become too sexy and the plan (at the moment) is to make the ads more sophisticated. That would be like the Super Bowl commercial which was very tasteful, but very different from any Victoria's Secret I've seen lately. Who do you all think the current sexy ads are targeting? I think its the men that they hope will buy these items for their female significant others. I hate to give Omarosa any kudos - but most women aren't "sold" on an item by an ad of a near naked sexy woman. Shri
Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
Google landing page tips - Google AdSense expert, Joel Comm says "Edit the landing page, and you can tell the advertisers what they should write to get the most clicks with an ad on your site. You can even include your email address and contact information and invite them to contact you directly" ("The AdSense Code" 65 & 66). This way, advertisers will know to contact you via email if they can't find an option they like. In "The AdSense Code", Comm also suggests the following landing page tips (67 & 68 ): • Make your page look like it's a part of your site by adding a logo and using the same color scheme • Define what your website does • Outline the demographic and lifestyle information of your target market • Provide a list of the content and keywords that are likely to attract the most clicks and conversions • Explain to advertisers that a targeted campaign is likely to yield the best results for them
