Instead of reading whole words, with Bionic Reading you read only the first few letters of a word and move on to the next word, letting your brain fill in the missing parts of words. The boldfaced initial parts of words lead your eyes through text, allowing you to read faster, and according to the developers of Bionic Reading, in greater depth. It is touted as especially helpful for people with ADHD.
Here is a sample:
Bionic Reading is a new
method facilitating the
reading process by guiding
the eyes through text
with artificial fixation points.
Developed by Swiss typography expert Renato Casutt, the Bionic Reading system of reading only the first few letters of a word allows you to focus on only those letters. Because your brain has stored thousands of words, it can identify words quicker than your eyes can read them, according to Bionic Reading researchers. So your brain moves on to the next word before your eyes have finished reading the previous word.
Does the Bionic Reading system really allow you to read faster? Do you retain information better with this system? Research continues.
If you want to use Bionic Reading, you can access a website which allows a low number of words to be read daily for free, and a higher number of words to be read for a monthly fee.
