reversal is frustrating. It is the act of reading
a word, or small groups of words, in the wrong sequence. In effect, the eye
makes an error by reversing the word order on the page. The result is
the sub-vocalized sentence sounds ridiculous. For example:
The printed sentence: "The girl throws her book across the room in
total frustration"
The eyes see: "The girl throws across the book her room in total frustration"
Your reaction to word reversal is to go back and re-read the sentence
until it sounds correct. It is a consequence of
total sub-vocalisation.
Your eyes are trying to move across the words faster than your sub-vocalisation
will allow you to hear them. Therefore you re-read the sentence, not
because you did not understand it, but because it should sound correct.
TurboRead removes the problem of word
reversal by allowing your eyes to move as fast as they need or want to across
the print. Reduced sub-vocalisation means you do not need to wait for the
sentences to sound correct. You simply understand what you are
reading while you are reading it.
