Book Preview:

#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.
