OP Edited to note that at length, after finally learning to use the WS Search algorithm,I found the previous discussion, alluded to below
http://wordsmith.org/board/ubbthreads.ph...true#Post158729
I am still interested in learning of successful techniques, eg,
rules of thumb that practitioners have found successful. For example, an expert states that he reads in descending counterclockwise circles. Another says he pays special attention to numbers. One asserts that you shouldn't mentally pronounce the individual words--though I don't see how it's possible not to. A beginner states that she spots nouns--forgive the alliteration.
Another beginner--me--attempts to zero in on keywords. It's also helpful in focusing attention--though often difficult--to spot subject and predicate of each sentence, each as a unit.
In one course on the subject the beginner is advised to start by running his finger across each line, an approach I would consider most childlike
