The Rationale

This is the section that explains how the drills work. Each part of the drills serves at least one purpose, and this is the section that tells you those purposes. The Rationale deals with five main issues:

Subvocalization
Regression
Word groups and Meaning
Reading pace
Clarity of comprehension.
