If I am a proficient reader, reading aesthetically, why would I want to slow down? I think we are so used to hearing about kids that struggle with reading, that we don't take into consideration the proficient reader. Many of my kids are proficient aesthetically, but not efferently. If I were studying the book for a book club, then sure, I would slow down naturally. I would encourage my kids too as well. We read for different purposes, in different ways. If you know you miss stuff, then you are right to slow down. I, personally, would be very frustrated at anyone who tried to slow me down. I would just quit reading. Kim
