Training students to know their reading techniques and decide when best to
apply them is indeed important, especially under exam conditions when time
constraints come into play and decisions need to be made depending on time
availability and the importance of the task at hand.

4. Procedures (indicate the steps you will undertake to teach the lesson and indicate the no. of minutes
each step will consume)
Introductory Activity Ask the students to recapitulate the previous lesson.
Let’s Read!
Ask the student to have an oral reading of the text below. (Take note: Some
of the words in the text are jumbled and only the first and last letters of each
word are in the right place.)
I cnduo't bvleiee taht I culod aulaclty uesdtannrd waht I was rdnaieg.
Unisg the icndeblire pweor of the hmuan mnid, aocdcrnig to rseecrah at
Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mttaer in waht oderr the lterets in a wrod
are, the olny irpoamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rhgit
pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whoutit a
pboerlm. Tihs is bucseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey ltteer by istlef,
but the wrod as a wlohe. – McCarthy (2018)
Activity
Ask the students to read silently the unjumbled text.
I couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading.
Using the incredible power of the human brain, according to research at
Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word
are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right
place. The rest can be a total, mess and you can read it without a problem.
This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the
word as a whole. - McCarthy (2018)
Trivia:
In fact, there never was a Cambridge researcher (the earliest form of
the meme actually circulated without that particular addition), but there is
some Science behind why we can read that particular jumbled text.
The phenomenon has been given the slightly tongue-in-cheek name
"Typoglycaemia," and it works because our brains don't just rely on what
they see - they also rely on what we expect to see.
In 2011, researchers from the University of Glasgow, conducting
unrelated research, found that when something is obscured from or unclear

2. to the eye, human minds can predict what they think they're going to see and
fill in the blanks.
Analysis Guide Questions:
1. Did you finish reading the entire text?
2. What is it all about?
3. What was the techniques you used to read and understand the text as fast
you could?
Abstraction
Discuss the topic by asking the following questions:
 What is a reading technique?
 What are the two main types of reading techniques?
 When to use these reading techniques?
 How are these reading techniques done?
 Why is it important to know the different reading techniques?
 Which is considered as better reading technique? Why?
