Most tests have a time limit, so good reading speed can be a great asset. As you already know, two ways to read for speedy comprehension are skimming the text or scanning it. For example, if all you want to find out is a general idea of what the reading is about, skim the text by letting your eyes quickly roam across the page or even down the middle of it, looking for clues. If you need specific information, like a description of a particular character, you can scan for the name of that character - that is, run your eyes quickly through the passage until you find the character's name. For both types of speed reading, remember not to read every word arid sometimes, not even every phrase or sentence.

Try reading the following selection, "May's boy," by scanning the article to find out the answer to these questions:
1. Who is May?
2. Who is Leslie Lemke?
3. Why is he famous?
MAY'S BOY.
Oshkosh, WI (AP) - It was only fitting that this concert be held in a church. After all, it had to do with miracles. Leslie Lemke, whose name has become synonymous with the savant syndrome, meaning an "island of genius," has come to be even more associated with the term "miracle of love."
Blind, retarded, palsied, Leslie, who has to be led to the piano by his sister, Mary Parker, can play any piece of music he's ever heard.
Lasy Sunday, his genius came through more strongly than ever. This day he was playing for a special lady - his mother, May - who was celebrating her 93rd birthday and her last scheduled public appearance with him.
It was she who had taken him in and told her own children, "God has something special in mind for Leslie." But even she could not have known what "May's boy," as Leslie has come to be known, could accomplish.
Walter Cronkite used May and Leslie as his "Christmas miracle" years ago. Since then, Leslie has appeared on "That's Incredible," "Donahue," "60 minutes," and finally, served as a prototype for the film Rain Man. He's played the piano for the King of Norway and appeared in Japan. Japanese televosion sent a crew to film Leslie for its Discovery program at the concert held both at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Neenah and St. John Lutheran Church in Oshkosh. "There Was a Lady May Who Prayed for a Miracle," a song written especially for May, was sung by Leslie as his mother, now suffering from Alzheimer's disease, was wheeled next tj the piano.
"Day by day and year by year, she stuck by his side. Others thought it hopeless, but he never even cried," he sang in the presence of May's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even a few great-great-grandchildren.
A spark of recognition lit May's eyes as the song continued, and her family came up to embrace her, though the years when she actually outtalked Donahye on the program are gone. All thar is left is the loving glance she casts toward Leslie, as he plays the piece that has become his theme song, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.
It was that riece May and Joe Lemke heard in the night a decade and a half ago when they were awakened by beautiful music and discovered their profoundly handicapped boy at the piano. It was the miracle May had told her family would come. From that night on, Leslie has been researched, lauded, and filmed.
His ability to hear any piece of music just once, imprint it in his brain, and repear it on the piano on command and in its entirety has btought him fame. No one knows how many pieces are forever locked in his memory. He can play and sing hundreds of songs at will - spirituals, ballads, arias, marches, ragtime, folksongs, and the classics. And yet, seconds before he appears before the crowd, he sits in a chair, head bowed, eyes shut, hand gnarled, unaware of his surroundings, waiting for his sister, Mary, to come and take him to the piano.
As soon as he sits down at the piano bench and lifts his head heavenward, his palsied fingers spread across the keys and praise the Lord with "How Great Thou Art." In the front pew, May's own hands lift in adoration.
