@georgeob1,
Geo thanks so much for your pertienent reply
Quote:...organized course.... techniques included concentration, scanning whole sentences .... not the individual words
That's a common technique but there are a number of variations and I wonder which ones you found most successful. Some catch one line at a time (depending on dims of para), some in zigzag; some scan for the verb, a few for the noun; and I'm wondering whether anyone has mastered an entire (newspaper column) para at a single glance

That's almost astounding, encouraging anyhow

Thanks Geo again most kindly
