Which reading method helps you read the best? Find out!

Participate in a short, interactive study designed to find out how different reading methods impact your comprehension and reading speed. At the end of the study, you'll receive a personalised report showing which method improved your reading the most.

After providing consent, you'll complete a brief practice round to set a comfortable reading speed. You'll then read six short passages (each around 300 words), using different reading techniques:

  1. Silent reading
  2. Word-by-word highlighting
  3. Word highlighting synchronised with high-quality text-to-speech (TTS)

Following each passage, you'll answer a few comprehension questions.

There will be audio for the TTS part, so ensure you have headphones or speakers.

The entire study will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
