MEMORANDUM FOR: ML Careerists
STAT FROM:
Training Officer, Office of Logistics
SUBJECT: Reading Improvement Course
20 October - 7 November 1980
1. We have arranged for the Office of Training to conduct
the Reading Improvement Course in Room The
class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays of each week
from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for a total of 18 hours of instruction.
2. The Reading Improvement Course has three objectives:
a. To increase the student's reading speed
b. To maintain or increase the student's percentage of
comprehension
c. To improve the student's vocabulary
Students will be tested at the beginning and end of the course to
measure these three areas. As a general rule, speed usually
doubles from the initial testing without appreciable loss in
comprehension. There is frequently a gain in comprehension and
an improvement in the vocabulary percentile.
3. The maximum number of students who can be accommodated
in this course is 20. Since there may be more interest than we
can handle, Division/Staff Chiefs will designate participants
from their areas.
4. If you are interested in participating in this course,
please give your name to your Division/Staff training represent-
ative by close of business Friday, 19 September 1980. Division/
Staff training representatives are asked to report the number of
interested employees from their area to me. Those who are se-
lected to attend will be notified prior to the beginning of the
course. Those selected will be expected to attend all classes,
so please check your availability before indicating your interest.
