Speed reading is partly pattern recognition. Practicing rapid visual word lookup sharpens the same selective-attention system that fluent readers use to skim, scan, and pull key terms out of dense text.
How to do it
A target word is shown above a grid of words. Tap the target in the grid. A session is ten rounds; correct answers, mistakes and total time are reported.
- What it trains:
- Selective attention: picking one word out of a field of others.
- Options:
- Grid size: 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5.
- Suggested time:
- About one minute (ten rounds).
Like every Tachi drill, this is structured practice: you get better at the drill task itself, while evidence that such exercises carry over to everyday reading speed is weak. See what to expect, honestly.
