V&T Movie #10: One Sentence at a Time
Reading a sentence at a time with fluency is one of the great goals of reading improvement. This tool helps people learn the rhythms of doing this, which they can then apply to their regular reading.
Many students get overwhelmed if there is more than a small amount of text on the screen at a time. This is true for dyslexics and also for people dealing with brain trauma and recovering from stroke. It is also true for many others dealing with issues of low vision, including wandering eye and differential focus issues. Reading just a sentence at a time is ideal for these people.
Furthermore, the sentence presented this way can be repeated once or twice if necessary, for those who need to do this for increased comprehension.
This tools is one of the staples of our assistive technology.
Directions
1.Go through these movies in order. The right setting will be the one between the movie that is too slow and the movie that is too fast. You will know, or ask for our help.
2.Try to pronounce each word, or group of words, before you hear the computer pronounce the word(s).
3.If you were not able to say anything, or said the wrong thing, echo (repeat) what you hear. Do not leave a group of words without saying them correctly.
4.Take everything you learned the first time through the words and say the group of words fluently before, or with the sound, when the text is repeated out loud.
5.Try to say the group of words smoothly. If you do not get it smoothly pronounced with the voice the first time the group of words is repeated, say it afterwards, or with the voice, the second time you hear it.
