Book Reading — Finger Guide
When we read, the eyes do not glide along a line: they jump and stop, a few words at a time. In this drill a dot shows where to stop. It hops along each line of the book, one stop per short group of words, first at your usual pace and then about twice and three times faster. Follow it, then answer comprehension questions. The drill trains an even rhythm on the line and fewer needless returns on easy text.
How to Play
- Read a passage of a book: a dot hops under each line, move your eyes from dot to dot.
- Follow the dot again at about twice the speed. Stop only where the dot stops.
- Follow the dot at about three times the speed. Keep the rhythm of the stops.
- Answer comprehension questions.
