Every article is supposed to have categories. Consider adding [[Category:Lifestyle movements]] [[Category:Computing and society]] to the bottom of the page without the "nowiki" tags). I didn't add them because I thought someone might find more appropriate categories. --Coppertwig 15:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question / suggest clarification of contrast with slow reading rate in children[edit]

Hi,

With regard to the negative aspects of "slow reading," children having difficulty learning to read and therefore reading slowly is very different from voluntary slow reading for a particular purpose.

I'm not familiar enough with the topic of volitional slow reading to add this, but I suggest that the contrast is significant and that this differentiates research about slow reading rates due to reading dysfluency.

Best,

Your point is well taken, Rosmoran. I did not want to skip that research altogether, but as you say, there is an important difference. I have edited that portion. Is the new version a sufficient improvement? (Thanks for your other improvements).

I think the revision is fine for now. The section is a bit stilted, but it's clear that this is a fairly "young" article, and I'm sure that the overall style will improve as the content and organization solidifies.

Best,
