Editorial Welcome

By Mona Pelkey

Dear Readers,

When I finished editing Barbara McLay’s article, “Reading Rate: Research versus Teaching,” I was absolutely stunned. If you teach speed reading, as I did for two and a half years, you may rethink your practice after reading her article. In fact, if you teach at all, I’m sure that you will find Barbara’s article intriguing and enlightening.
We have other wonderful offerings as well. Kyle Cushman has suggestions for metacognitive note-taking, Michael Ruhe writes on “Psycho-Tutoring,”and Dennis Congos discusses “Mental Manipulation.” You will just have to read these to see what they are all about! ;-)

Toni Alazraki shares her new tool for tutoring ESL writing students via email. I tutor writing online and I am often challenged when I download essays written by ESL students. Perhaps you face the same kinds of challenges, and would like to find out what Toni has devised to help her students correctly construct sentences as practice after tutoring. Read her article, and see what you think!

Have fun with our humor column and brainteasers, and as always, your contributions are more than welcome!

Mona
