![]() Secondly, competent readers tend to chunk naturally anyway. Subvocalization can always be detected in the vocal chords of even the best speed readers via subvocal recognition analysis. So not only is it evolutionarily backwards to try to suppress the tendency to subvocalize, but it’s also impossible. ![]() It’s a nice idea, but there’re a few problems with this reading strategy.įirstly, Spoken language existed long before written language. “The man walked down the street and bumped into a green lamppost” is no longer read word by word but instantly recognised as an image in one’s mind. The theory goes, if you get really good at this you can end up turning not just words into symbols but whole paragraphs. Speed reading techniques work by training you to eliminate subvocalization and to chunk words into groups. …all that’s required on your part is a simple adjustment to your e-reading device.Īnd reading the rest of this article, of course.īut before we get to this method lets take a quick look at the two most popular accelerated reading strategies.Īre they any good? Conventional Speed Reading Strategies Well, I’ve extrapolated a method taken from a scientific paper on ‘Physical Text Layout’ to show you just how to do that. After I asked the school librarian if they had such a tool for students and she no, she asked about the tool and would research getting something similar for students.“I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten even so, they have made me.” ― Ralph Waldo Emersonĭo you want to read more books in less time without losing any comprehension? He has since been moved to English Honors (which, here, is not as difficult as AP) and now we know that we need download future assignments if possible and use the app. Note that he always skimmed like the previous comment in this article said but I think that maybe it depends on what you are reading. So I showed him the app, right away he bumped up the speed much higher than I could follow but he took to it right away. (He has been struggling with this class all year and only squeaking out a D even quarter while his other advanced classes are A’s & B’s.) So I sit down with him and ask for him to specify the issue like is it he can’t see the words clearly or.? And sure enough he comes right out with “I keep losing my place and have to go back and find it re-read it and not remembering what I read. ![]() Then low and behold only a week later my ADD son is complaining that he is struggling to read another “stupid” AP English assignment. (Note that I didn’t mention my discovery to my family.) Otherwise I would take a while reading through something and struggle to re read several times until it literally sunk in! Anyways I found the app to be a great help at keeping me from getting sidetracked with the other words. Yes I say sleepy because I also have Narcolepsy without cataplexia. ![]() I don’t do a lot of reading because I don’t seem to stay on track, lose my place, and then get sleepy but am an avid Audible book user because it seems to help me stay awake and on task with menial things like laundry and driving. I only noticed it a few weeks ago because I forgot my ear buds and had to wait in jury duty selection. I’m not diagnosed with ADD but 17yr old son was only a few years ago so I have learned a lot about ADD (not hyperactive but hyper-focused). I think the potential of this tool is only going to be realized by people that lose their place often like me□.
