Answer 1

1. TRUE
By and large, speed reading isn't effective. Psychologists have found that speed reading or skimming may work well with easy or familiar reading material, but it can lead to problems with dense or unfamiliar material.
2. TRUE
UCLA professor Kathryn Alesandrini offers a number of suggestions for streamlining your reading. With some material you can ask some of your employees to screen or scan it first, then post an action note on each item that needs additional reading by you. You can also ask your staff to read important books and summarize them in four or five pages.
3. FALSE
Top-down reading is a strategy for becoming a more productive reader, and requires you to rate, question, survey, skim, and summarize your reading.
4. FALSE
A strategy for laying out your ideas in writing is to move from least controversial to most controversial. This builds support gradually and is best used when the decision is controversial or your reader is attached to a particular solution other than the one you're proposing.
