Sample Book Insights:
#1 Reading is a skill that requires the reader to constantly shift their gaze from one spot on the page to another, deciphering the words one by one as they go.
#2 Reading is a skill that requires the reader to shift their gaze from one spot on the page to another, deciphering the words one by one as they go.
#3 Reading is a skill that requires the reader to shift their gaze from one spot on the page to another, deciphering the words one by one as they go. The most sensitive part of our vision, the fovea, is located in the central part of our retina. The rest of the retina has a coarser resolution.
#4 Our perception depends exclusively on the number of letters of a word, not its size on our retina. When the brain prepares to move our eyes, it adapts the distance to be covered to the size of the characters, in order to ensure that our gaze always advances by about seven to nine letters.

#9

Our visual system filters out visual differences that are irrelevant to reading, such as the distinction between R and r. It then amplifies the minuscule details that distinguish two very similar words from each other.

#10

Reading is a skill that requires the reader to shift their gaze from one spot on the page to another, deciphering the words one by one as they go. The most sensitive part of our vision, the fovea, is located in the central part of our retina.

#11

Our visual system has learned to treat groups of letters as bona fide units, and we no longer pay attention to their actual letter content.

#15

Our visual system has learned to treat groups of letters as bona fide units, and we no longer pay attention to their actual letter content. Reading is a skill that requires the reader to shift their gaze from one spot on the page to another, and decipher the words one by one as they go.

#16

While it may be true that we can sometimes deduce the pronunciation of a word from its spelling, this may not always be the case.

#17

the fact that we can sometimes deduce the pronunciation of a word from its spelling doesn’t mean that this is always the case. For most irregular words, the recovery of pronunciation, far from being the source of word comprehension, seems to depend on its outcome.

#18

English spelling is a mess, and it’s not just for decoration. It is a product of the history of our language, and our brains are structured in such a way that we can’t help but keep it that way.

#19

Our visual system has learned to treat groups of letters as genuine units, and we no longer pay attention to their actual letter content. Reading is a skill that requires the reader to shift their gaze from one spot on the page to another, and decipher the words one by one as they go.

#20

English spelling often privileges the transparency of word roots at the expense of the regularity of sounds. It is thus not simply a transcription of speech sounds, but rather a code that allows the reader to quickly retrieve their meaning.

#21

English spelling is a mess, and it is not just for decoration. It is a product of the history of our language, and our brains are structured in such a way that we cannot help but keep it that way.

#22

English spelling is a mess, and it is not just for decoration. It is a product of the history of our language, and our brains are structured in such a way that we cannot help but keep it that way.

#23

The brain has two reading routes, from vision to sound and from vision to meaning. When words are very regular, rare, or novel, we process them using a phonological route in which we first decipher the letter string, then convert it into pronunciation, and finally attempt to access the meaning of the sound pattern.

#30

Despite the fact that our brains have two reading routes, from vision to sound and from vision to meaning, we process words using a phonological route that begins with the deciphering of letter strings and ends with the access of sound patterns.
