2、t, they move and stop, move and stop. When your eyes stop, or focus, this is called a fixation.4.Eye Span 視幅，視距As your eyes stop, or fixate, while progressing from left to right across the line, they see a certain number of words or letters. The amount you see during each fixation is called your eye

3、 span. Eye spans varies individually according to the type of material you are reading.5.Return Sweep When your eyes reach the end of a line of print, they return to the beginning of the next line. This return motion is called the return sweep. Although your eyes are already trained to return automa

4、tically, the speed with which they make this return is variable.6.Regression 回讀 Your eyes normally progress in a left-to-right direction, seeing each word in the order it was written. Occasionally, your eyes will move back-ward, or regress, to a word already read instead of moving to the next word.R

5、egression is often unnecessary and slows you down. 7.Observing Eye-Movement PaternsExperiment 1: Observing Eye MovementAsk the other person to hold up the book so that you can see his or her eyes as he or she reads. Then direct the person to start reading a paragraph. As he or she reads, notice how

6、the eyes move and stop, move and stop. Also notice the return sweep to the beginning of the next line.Eye-Movement Patterns8.Observing Eye-Movement PaternsExperiment 2: Counting FixationsAs the person reads, count the number of eye stops or fixations made on each line. By counting the average number

7、 of words on the line and dividing it by the average number of fixations per line, you will be able to work out the persons eye span.Eye-Movement Patterns9.Reducing RegressionsFrequent regression interferes with your comprehension and slows you down. You can reduce regression by using the following

8、techniques:Eye-Movement Patterns10.Reducing Regressions1. Force yourself to move your eyes only from left to right. Do not regress in the middle of a sentence. Instead, if the meaning of a sentence is unclear after you have finished reading it, reread the entire sentence.Eye-Movement Patterns11.Redu

9、cing Regressions2. Use a card to prevent regression to previous lines. As you read, slide the card down the page so that it covers what you have already read.Eye-Movement Patterns12.Key Word ReadingFast Reading13ppt課件Example 1 Key word reading is a new technique.

In some situations, it is worth the loss, depending on the readers purpose and the type of material being read.14.Example 1 Key word reading is a new technique.

11、eful reading techniques, the reader must expect a decrease in factual comprehension skill. In some situations, it is worth the loss, depending on the readers purpose and the type of material being read.15. Our point here is really very simple: many books are hardly worth even skimming. Some should b

12、e read quickly; and a few should be read at a rate, usually quite slow, that allow for complete comprehension. It is wasteful to read a book slowly that deserves only a fast reading; speed reading skills can help you solve that problem. But this is only one reading problem. Example 216. Our point he

Example 217.What Is Key Word Reading?Key word reading involves skipping nonessential words and reading only those words and phrases that carry the primary or core meaning of each sentence.18.Aids to Key Word ReadingUsing sentence structurecore

Clustering involves widening your eye span so that you see several words in one fixation.How to

23、 Cluster Read30.How to Cluster Read?To cluster most effectively, however, you should try to group words together that naturally fit or go together.When you group words together in meaning units, you will find that it is easier to understand what you read.By widening your eye span, and thereby reduci

24、ng the number of fixations per line, you are reducing the time it takes to read a line and are increasing your reading rate.31.Examples:(Public libraries provide) (access to a) (world of) (information. But they) (also contribute to the) (preservation of our) (valuable forests. Each) (library saves a

You may find it takes several weeks of continued practice. To develop the skill, try to read as many things as possible in clusters. B

27、egin by reading easier material in phrases.As you begin cluster reading, you may find that you frequently lapse back into word-by-word reading. This is a natural happening since your attention focuses on the content of the material rather than the technique of reading. Once you realize that you have lapsed into word-to-word reading, just switch back to cluster reading and continue reading.33. When you cluster read, it should feel like this. Your eyes should move and stop, mo
