Skim Reading? Get Crafty and Informed!

What’s on offer?

Online resources and an online “craft-along”. The craft-along involves creating a postcard featuring your favourite quote, with an eye movement scan path showing when and where the eye moves when reading the quote. The activity helps participants understand and remember how reading behaviour affects comprehension.

What’s it about?

Opportunity to learn about the mechanisms underlying reading, and how reading under time pressure can affect comprehension. Especially useful implications for students who have lots to read in a short amount of time!
