Any good athlete will tell you he practiced long and hard to get is shape and achieve high honors. We seldom hear of any athlete becoming a champion without any effort. Do we expect to be able to run the hundred-yard dash without training? No, we consider training to be a part of the game. Once he is in shape, it is easier for an athlete to keep in condition. Reading skills develop the same way. Any person. who can see words and has the desire. can learn to read faster and with understanding.
