Abstract
College freshmen enrolled in a rapid reading course were assigned to one of two groups on the basis of visual acuity. These groups were further divided on the basis of their pretest reading speed. Reading speed and compre hension measures were taken before, after, and periodically throughout the course. Results indicated that the in crease in reading speed of the myopic group was significantly greater than that of the emmetropic group and that the group reading initially faster improved at a more rapid rate than did the slower group. Comprehension de creased during the course with the fast readers maintaining better comprehension. By the final measure, reading speed was more related to visual acuity than to the individual's initial reading speed. The results were interpreted as supporting the contention that myopes are more visually oriented.
