I've discovered that its even easier if you focus on the space between the lines so that the line you're "reading" is just off center.
heh. How hard was it to type, though?
But the brain only reads the whole word after it has long since learned the proper way of figuring out what a word is phonetically.
This study is dangerious because it seems to support the idea of whole-word reading instead of emphasing phonics first.
Kevin! Down, boy! Down! It's a joke, son! It's a joke!
That said, I'm just glad that when I learned to read at age four, I learned phonics.
