Speading
Multilingual Computer Program for Reading Assistance
Speading is a concept that seeks to employ a specially developed multilingual computer program to assist children and adults alike in improving their reading skills. The design intent of Speading is to increase reading time while also reinforcing comprehension. Speading would also serve as a way for users to learn a new language in an expedient manner.
Features & Benefits
Essentially envisioned as a computer software program that is specially designed to help teach beginning and slow readers the tools they need to help them read faster, as well as improve their comprehension of the materials they are reading. The software would be compatible with virtually any operating system, from PCs and Macs to possibly even mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. Speading could present specialized exercises geared to appropriate age and reading levels that incorporate methods or “tricks” to help users better accomplish reading tasks. Some ideas that may be incorporated into Speading could include exercises in discerning key words in each sentence, then combining them in context so that one does not have to labor over each individual word; techniques in softening the eyes, so that one's gaze is expanded and can pick out blocks of words more clearly, which can help speed the reading process; or directional reading techniques, where lines in paragraphs would be read alternately, with the first line read left to right, as normal, and the second line read right to left. It should be noted that the preceding are suggested ideas only and do not indicate that these exact techniques will be incorporated into the Speading program. Upon full development, Speading has potential to be an exciting presentation offered as an interactive computer program. Speading could widely appeal to young children, encouraging them to practice with the system and eventually, pick up a book because they want to, not because they have to. In this manner, this innovative product could give parents a needed tool in starting their child’s reading development as soon as possible, since parents are really the child’s first teachers. As such, parents would be able to better instill a desire to learn at a much earlier age, so that by the time the child enters kindergarten, his or her reading and comprehension skills would foster a sense of confidence in their abilities, and readiness, and willingness, to want to learn more. In addition, Speading speeds up the learning process, helping users to learn a new language or several new languages. Speading could also benefit teachers, helping educators more successfully impart lessons to students who are much more receptive to the learning process. Speading could also prove greatly beneficial to older students and adults who wish to improve their reading skills, helping them to get into the college of their choice while also improving job opportunities. On the professional level, Speading would teach the user how to read faster with greater comprehension even when background noises are present. The methods used by the Speading program would serve to keep the reader focused on what they are reading, and not their distracting surroundings. With further development, Speading could offer a creative product that could conceivably reduce illiteracy rates by a significant margin, and should be well received by parents, teachers, children, and adults, an extremely sizable market potential.About this page
