When 16-year-old student, Karen, read the word "little" as "small," she had no awareness of her error because there was no error in her comprehension. Her teacher, Wade McJacobs, asked himself, "Is that truly an error?" Did she get the word wrong? Yes. Did she fail to understand because of the error? Absolutely not. With guidance Karen learned to have confi dence in her reading abilities and in herself. She learned to trust her capacity to perform and to work with the power of her mind.

From this Positive Error came the Read Through It Strategy. Dare to Read: Improving Your Reading Speed and Skills provides a systematic set of guidelines that will build your confi dence as a reader and as a thinking person. By following simple steps and practicing controlled exercises for just a few minutes each day, you will become a
more confident and capable reader. Take the quick-start route or get a thorough explanation before you begin-you are in control of your reading journey.
