Abstract A reading system and method of printing reading material for faster reading are provided in which a plurality of printed sheets are provided with each having at least one vertically extending scan bar. A plurality of short printed lines of indicia are printed perpindicular to the scan bar, with certain lines having scan words therein in a bolder or different colored type font. A plurality of scan line indicators are placed adjacent to the scan bar adjacent each scan line having scan words. A method of printing sheet material for fast reading includes selecting the paper for printing and arranging material to be printed in short lines of indicia having selected scanned words in selected lines in a bolder or different colored font adjacent a vertical scan bar, then placing scan line indication marks adjacent to the vertical scan bar and adjacent each line of font having scanned words therein. Then printing the selected paper with the prearranged printed material thereon.
