Best book notes:
"The reader must decipher full words and phrases, rather than letters alone, because of the way that the text is presented.”
“Displacement refers to the method of replacing your habit of vocalizing the words that are printed on the page with a repetitious sound, word, or phrase. This distracts you from physically voicing the word and forces the use
of another form of sensory perception to derive meaning from the text. ”
“To continue breaking the habit of subvocalizing, readers can practice reading while doing things that normally prevent them from speaking. ”
“Dishabitiuation is the process in which a person experiences a full-strength response to a common stimulus that has become weakened over time. In these exercises the text will be presented upside down, backwards, sideways, and slantways, and just about any other ways you can think of. The exercises will be very slow at first, but with a little work, you will be reading the text significantly faster. than before, and may read faster than your performance reading. As readers, we’ve developed the habit of seeing a printed symbol and assigning it a vocalized sound, but when we see a symbol we have the opportunity to decide how we’re going to mentally interpret the symbol into meaning. ”
“In the exercise that follows, read as you normally would from left to right. All of the consanants are flipped upside down, but the vowels are right side up. In order to read you’ll have to flip some characters, and not others, in your mind before being able to translate them into meaning. ”
“In the exercise that follows, read as you normally would from left to right. All of the consanants are flipped upside down, but the vowels are right side up. And, every other line is captilized so that you get used to reading regardless of the capsize. ”
“Every day we translate text into meaning, provoking a series of images and sounds and memories at the glance of a word. When we see the word, “McDonald’s”, many people think of the golden arches of the popular fast food chain, and yet when we see these same words in print, we feel the need to read them aloud. Habituation refers to reducing the response to a specific stimulus by means of repetition. These exercises aid in the elimination of the top five most-common words in the English language: “the”, “of”, “and”, “to”, and “a”. See, you probably read the word “and” twice, and now three times. How much faster could you read if you eliminated these common words? Much, much faster... ”
“In the exercise that follows, every other word is “the”. In order to derive meaning from the text you’re going to have to skip over “the”, to read the text. In turn, you’ll also be skipping over the “the”s that are supposed to be there. ”
“In the exercise that follows, every other word is “of”. In order to derive meaning from the text you’re going to have to skip over “of”, to read the text. In turn, you’ll also be skipping over the “of”s that are supposed to be there. ”
“In the exercise that follows, every other word is “and”. In order to derive meaning from the text you’re going to have to skip over “and”, to read the text. In turn, you’ll also be skipping over the “and”s that are supposed to be there. ”
“These exercises focus on visualizing the meaning that the text represents. Exercises in this chapter are similar to some of the teaching methods behind “whole language” reading instruction. Throughout this chapter you’ll be shown pictures and asked to describe what you see in the picture in a variety of ways. This will aid you in developing concrete visual association with text. ”
“In the exercise that follows, keep your eyes focused on the “X” and count the numbers as you find them; first in as- cending order and then descending, counting from 1 to 26. ”
“In the exercise that follows, keep your eyes focused on the “X” and say the alphabet as you find the letters; first in ascending order and then descending, listing from a to z. ”
“This exercise is analogous to Exercise #1, except the numbers are written as words. Keep your eyes focused on the “X” and count the numbers as you find them, but instead of seeing the letters, picture the number they represent. ”
“You have made it to the end of this work book, and have gained a new set of abilities and skills to use in your everyday reading. But remember, like all skill, they weaken, the less that you practice them. ”
