Visual Reading

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I originally tagged this article with a 'bias tag'. However, upon further review, I've come to the conclusion that this article should be deleted (or, at least, drastically edited.) I find references to "visual reading" in the context of reading, but this is a general phrase that does not appear to have anything to do with the technique Hyo Sang Shin supposedly developed. The only thing I can find related to Shin + "visual reading" are links to the book he's selling. All of the research/references appear to be about general concepts of speed reading, not anything Shin developed. Finally, the claim that students are reading 1,000 wpm w/ good reading comprehension is almost certainly utter pseudoscience garbage. (Either that, or this guy deserves a noble prize, because this claim requires near super-human abilities.) JoelWhy (talk) 22:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joel,

It looks to me that you are clearly upset about my request to substantiate your attack on the article with any scientific evidence. If you are upset, it does not give you the right to pour your emotions and call other people's work "garbage". How much do you know about speed reading? Did you actually bother to read about "visual reading" method? If not, I suggest you do your homework first before pouring dirt over other people's heads. I am considering raising a complaint about your libelous remarks about the author of the book and the method. Please remove your libelous and unsubstantiated remarks if you do not want the issue to be escalated any further.

As I wrote before, I welcome any constructive critique of the article.

Kind regards, Natalia
