Accountability assessment

Each memory test has its own score based on the average number of syllables per word and words per sentence. The following sections explain how each test will calculate the readability of a file.

This test evaluates text on a 100 point scale. The higher the score, the easier it is to understand the document. For most standard files, the score should be between 60 and 70.

Flesch Readability Formula:

206.835 – (1.015 x ASL) – (84.6 x ASW)

where

ASL = average sentence length (number of words divided by number of sentences)

ASW = average number of syllables per word (number of syllables divided by number of words)

This test will evaluate a text at the US institution level. For example, a grade of 8.0 means that an 18th grader can understand the document. For most papers, a score of 7.0 to 8.0 is required.

The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid score on grades is:

(.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) – 15.59

where

ASL = average sentence length (number of words divided by number of sentences)

ASW = average number of syllables per word (number of syllables divided by number of words)

The languages ​​you use in a document can affect how an Office program validates and presents grades.

• If you set up Word to check the spelling and grammar of text in other languages, and the document contains text in multiple languages, Word displays text similarity statistics in the last language checked. For example, if a document contains three paragraphs: the first is in English, the second is in French, and the third is in English, Word displays accountability statistics for English text only.

• For some European languages, in an English document, Word only displays counts and averages, but is not accountable.

Speed ​​Reading Exercises

The secret to mastering the speed reading technique is regular exercises in developing memory, attention and mastering other speed reading skills.

The greatest benefits are those exercises that eliminate the cause of the low speed of perception and processing of visual information.

The main mistakes that create a barrier in reading speed for both children and adults are considered to be involuntary recurrent eye movements (regression) and unnecessary articulation, which we learned just in childhood.

The main disadvantages that impede the effective and rapid perception of information:

• trouble concentrating;
• small angle (field) of visual coverage of textual information.

So, speed reading exercises in grade 1 should be aimed primarily at developing the ability to concentrate attention and expanding the scope of information. The "small field of vision" is perhaps the most important reason why children are taught to read first by letter, by syllables, then by whole words, phrases and sentences with an expression confirming the reader's understanding of the meaning of what is written.

Not every adult can boast of the ability to perceive long phrases and whole sentences “at a glance”. This is where the development of visual reading skills in most people stops.

Expanding the field of view

For children of any age, we recommend developing a number of the listed skills with the help of an exciting online exercise game based on Schulte tables.

"Development of peripheral vision according to Schulte tables"

Regular training with the help of Schulte tables will allow your child not only to have an interesting time, but also help to increase concentration, expand peripheral vision and develop memory.

"Defocused look" . The main task of training is to use a dispersed gaze to perceive a larger area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe page or screen. The exercise can be performed in various ways, for example, to search for identical elements using diffuse vision or to memorize more elements that could be covered without moving your eyes from the central object of attention.

Improving concentration

"Activation of both hemispheres" . Take a text on a topic familiar to you and read a paragraph alternately with your right and left eyes. Thanks to this simple technique, you activate both hemispheres of the brain in turn.

"Selecting the main" . Many outstanding personalities used this technique. Just take a marker or pencil and highlight the 2-3 most important thoughts from the page. It is even better to improve this exercise and not just highlight the main thing, but put down your critical remarks with signs: very important information - “!” or "NB", agree - put "+", do not agree - "-", etc.

"Name the color" . Call out loud as you read the following colored word color text. It is the colors, not what is written.

Red. Green. Blue. Yellow. Violet. Orange. Brown. Blue.

Red. Blue. Green. Violet. Yellow. Brown. Blue. Green. Blue.

Don't rush to do it at incredible speed. Well, if after training you, in principle, managed to complete the exercise without errors.

"Find the word" . Exercise options:

• Search the page for all words beginning with a certain letter.
• Search the page for all occurrences of a particular word or phrase.

Riddles is a simple and very effective way to train concentration skills at any age. For this purpose, snag riddles or tricky logic questions are well suited.

Getting rid of regression

"Cutting half a line" . When reading the text, cover half of the line (upper part) with a piece of paper. Thus, you will force the brain to guess what is written and at the same time, in such a situation, it is natural to want to see the next line even before you “cut off” part of it. This exercise will teach you to jump ahead while reading and at the same time not return to what you read.

Pointer . To break the habit of looking back at what you have already read, let your eyes constantly follow the pen, pencil or finger that will lead you forward all the time.

"Speed ​​Reading" . Recall the reading speed test in elementary school. We take a timer and measure our current result by reading one page, chapter or article.

Suppressing articulation

"Alt Text" . In parallel with reading, we say something that is not related to the subject of attention. For example, we hum the motive of the song (“la-la-la, true-lal-la”) or pronounce another text in our mind, for example, proverbs, tongue twisters, or keep count in order, regardless of the number of words or lines read. The main thing is not to lose concentration.

"With your mouth shut!" If your lips move or your tongue moves while reading, you need to keep them busy. This error is often present in children after constant reading aloud in the lower grades. Try simultaneously chewing on a pencil or crackers or chewing gum.

"Drumroll" . We tap some kind of rhythm on the table with our fingers, the more difficult it is, the better. If the fingers are busy, the speech center of the brain will be automatically at least partially blocked.

"Reading with distracting music" . A great way to suppress the desire to pronounce readable text is to listen to music that does not have a constant rhythm. Jazz is best suited for this purpose.

We develop memory

"Non-Standard Reading" . Reading text rotated 90 degrees away from you, 180, 45, etc. An example of the exercise: turn the page upside down and set the task of reading the text backwards (i.e. from right to left). Such training is especially useful for children in order to form in memory the standards of integral letters, regardless of how they are located.

"Restore the missing letters." An excellent exercise for the development of verbal-logical memory. While reading a text with missing letters, stops for “guessing” the next word are forced to keep in mind the words and the meaning of what was read earlier. A good workout not only for memory, but also for eliminating such fast reading obstacles as recurrent eye movements and articulation.

Development of the speed of thinking

One of the main reasons why it is possible to significantly improve the reading speed of any person is the redundancy of information at all levels of texts (especially those posted on the Internet), from headlines and introductory structures designed to attract attention, to individual words with a weak or completely absent semantic load.

Regular solution of logical problems develops the ability to separate the main from the secondary, develops the skill of "turning on blindness" in relation to redundant information and "instantaneous" perception of important thoughts. This is achieved, first of all, thanks to regular exercises in the speed of perception of the conditions of the problem and understanding the essence of the question being asked. A conscious analysis of the structure of tasks develops the skill of splitting tasks into conditions and groups of conditions, highlighting one or more questions, understanding the optimal order for solving subtasks, and searching for solutions.
