Active reading on paper and on the screen

The physical process of reading – developing your visual agility

• Adapting the eye movements to the layout of the text and reading objective: horizontal, vertical or diagonal sweep.
• Training yourself to change the way your eyes move over the text.
• Increasing your field of vision.

The mental process of reading – developing your mental agility

Efficient reading depends on the following five elements :

• Motivation – what motivates us to read the text ?
• Anticipation – what are the techniques to better anticipate the contents of a text and so approach the text in a more active way ?
• Concentration – how do we keep up our attention while reading a relatively long and complicated text ?
• Comprehension – how do we increase our reading speed while maintaining a good level of comprehension ?
• Memorisation – what are the techniques for retaining information and recovering the essential information at a later date ?

Adapting the reading strategy to your objective

• How to put in place the different reading strategies of scanning, skimming, sightseeing, in-depth, and reading for pleasure ?
• Why are we reading a particular text and what is the strategy which is best adapted to that objective ?
• Applying the strategy in a systematic way – what are the different steps of each strategy.

Reading on the screen

• What are the differences between reading on paper and on the screen ?
• How to avoid eye fatigue while reading on the screen ?
• How to apply the reading strategies to reading on the screen ?
• Exercises on the screen to develop concentration, to improve anticipation and improve comprehension.

• The practice exercises constitute about 80% of the seminar and are contained in a participant's file and on the computer programme "Reading on the screen" developed by expert consultants from Centor Idep using the latest research from the scientific field.
• Each participant has a PC at his/her disposal and each participant's progress on paper and on the screen is evaluated.
• For each practice exercise, comprehension and retention of information is tested.
