Some asked me if it was possible to read using the zigzag technique, I told them that it was possible, "but" in my case, I used to find data specific text, for example: names, dates, phrases related to the search topic, etc.
This reading technique is to slide the finger at a rate greater than that usually read, below the writing line and when the end of it quickly back to the next and continue in the same way that at the beginning. These movements are like a "z" and then the name that is assigned.
To use this technique must understand that there are two ways to access the meanings of words: 1) via the phonological route or "indirect", and 2) through the visual path or "direct." If the reader is using the phonological route (see the word when reading from left to right, while the decoding is listening to your own inner voice) this method of reading will not be helpful, however, with a little practice (reading z) allows you to enter or direct visual route.
In the majority of students still prevails phonological method as a result of learning to read from the smallest units to complex: first we learned the vowels, then consonants, then became syllabic combinations and from there we built our first phrases (groups of words representing ideas), sentences and propositions . This method is ideal when it comes to transparent languages \u200b\u200b(written as pronounced) as in the case of Castilian, and one of the books that best reflects this concept is the Coquito. Personally, I like this system of teaching, however, phonological or indirect method should be abandoned as 8 years and use the visual method or "direct" (that is 100 times faster than indirect), and then the concept of reading speed becomes an indicator of text comprehension.
visual or direct method is to perceive the words as a whole, imagine for a moment a cigarette on the table and look at him. Surely you are looking at the cigarette in its entirety, it began to look from one end, but holistically. This method is also called "gestalt" because of its global nature. The reader can not only look at a word in its entirety, through training (which is not difficult) can perceive phrases, ie groups of words that represent ideas and not isolated words whose meanings depend on context. This method allows the reader to link phrases and ideas and, thus, construct meaning up to the understanding of prayer. One of the great advantages that this method is that the student is forced to increase their concentration and does not disperse as he reads on the phonological approach.
With all humility I can assure you that if we manage to leave the stage children use phonological and visual or direct method, we can be sure that your understanding will increase significantly. There are very simple exercises you can do (I promise to introduce a few) and do not require special or large text investments.
Turning to the zigzag method, also use it in the reading of narrative texts (stories, novels, legends, etc..), But never argumentative texts, unless it is for reconsidering. Can also be used to read newspapers and magazines.
breaks that occur when you reach the end of the line of text can be one to ten lines and it will depend on the practice you have and the nature of information search. Try it line by line and then, when you want, increase the breaks. In http://www.lecturaveloz.cl/facs4.pdf can find some exercises to practice.
