Read With Your Eyes,

Not Your MouthTONY HARTMAN 2013

Read these words and sentences:

apple

cow

comprehension

understand

The coffee was very good.

I studied English in high school.

Did you look at

each word one

at a time?

Sometimes, when we

read we “say” the words

with our mouth or in our

head.

This can slow our

reading speed.

To read faster...

read with your eyes

not your mouth

Together, let’s say…

1,2,3..1,2,3…1,2,3…

Don’t stop!

Did you see

the word?

So, you don’t

need to “say”

the word to

understand it!

Again, let’s say…

1,2,3..1,2,3…1,2,3…

Don’t stop!

My teacher

gives me too

many tests!

Practice this when you

read in English and your

first language.

It will help you read

more quickly in both

languages!
