4. POOR READING HABITS
1. Reading one word at a time
2. Regression
3. Tracing the words with your fingers
4. Vocalization

5. READING ONE WORD AT A TIME
Some students tend to focus on one word at a time, especially when they trace words with the
index finger. This makes them read much slower. Try reading groups of words.

6. TRACING WORDS WITH THE INDEX FINGER
Using your index finger to trace each word on every line that is being read is a poor reding
habit.

7. VOCALIZATION
This is when you start pronouncing the words out loud as you read. Read with your eyes and
mind to capture vital information.

8. REGRESSION
Having to repeat yourself when speaking could be tiring. So also is going back to read the
same sentence, paragraph or passage again because your attention is divided.
