Speed Reading Boosts Elementary Students’ Learning Outcomes in Offline Learning
Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of speed reading as a means to improve elementary students' reading skills during offline learning periods.The sample consisted of 20 third-grade students, and a one group pretest-posttest experimental design was employed.The results showed that before using the speed reading method, students' learning outcomes were very low (70.80%),low (10.08%), and moderate (0%).However, after using the speed reading method, the students' learning outcomes significantly improved, with 88.95% achieving high levels and only 4.45% in the very low category.Therefore, the findings suggest that speed reading is a useful approach to enhance elementary students' reading skills during offline learning periods, which has significant implications for education policy and teaching practices.
