But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=8pomrUYAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">as an educational psychologist<\/a>\u00a0who researches reading in print and digital mediums, I think the hype is overblown \u2013 if not misleading.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Shaky claims<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bionic-reading.com\/\">Bionic Reading website<\/a>, the inventor, a typographer named Renato Casutt, explains that Bionic Reading was tested independently using 12 participants. He adds that it wasn\u2019t explicitly tested on people with dyslexia.<\/p>\n<p>He then goes on to write that \u201cthe results are unclear.\u201d From there, Casutt says Bionic Reading had a positive effect for most participants, but that others found it \u201cdisturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These tests don\u2019t adhere to standard scientific practices. A sample size of 12 is extraordinary small, and it is highly unlikely it would make it past an editor\u2019s desk for peer review at a reputable journal. Casutt doesn\u2019t tell readers what the \u201cpositive effect\u201d refers to. Was it reading time? Comprehension? Enjoyment?<\/p>\n<p>world.edu reached out to Bionic Reading for more clarity and to better understand its methodology. The company did not respond.<\/p>\n<p>The company website\u2019s assertion that the \u201cbrain reads faster than the eye\u201d is also deeply flawed. Perhaps it\u2019s a reference to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semanticscholar.org\/paper\/Orthographic-Mapping-in-the-Acquisition-of-Sight-Ehri\/156bd9fa294573538a19dc2ef4bd19bdae9cf418\">sight words<\/a>: When someone learns how to read, they normally have many words that they can make sense of via simple recognition, rather than by breaking down the word into individual syllables or sounds. These sight words often appear at a higher frequency in texts at all reading levels.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, what makes reading \u201cslow\u201d is not due to an inability to quickly perceive the words themselves \u2013 which is what Bionic Reading claims to fix. Instead, reading takes the time it does\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1529100615623267\">due to language processing<\/a>, which is where our brains turn strings of letters into words and a series of words into meaning.<\/p>\n<p>So no matter how quickly you recognize certain words, your brain still has to do the work to understand the sentence.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Speed at a cos<\/strong>t<\/h4>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time someone has tried to introduce ways to read text more quickly. In fact, educators\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/1000838\">used to teach speed reading in the 1980s<\/a>. However, that method faded from curriculums as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177%2F1529100615623267\">research showed that faster isn\u2019t always better<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 nor do the techniques even lead to faster reading in most cases.<\/p>\n<p>Bionic Reading may even hinder readers. Consider the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/0001-6918(77)90012-9\">speed-accuracy trade-off<\/a>, which theorizes that the more quickly one does something, the worse their performance.<\/p>\n<p>My colleagues and I tested this theory for reading comprehension across print and digital mediums. We found,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/00220973.2017.1411877\">time<\/a>\u00a0after\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drum.lib.umd.edu\/handle\/1903\/24981\">time<\/a>, whether in print or on a screen, the faster someone read a text,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.learninstruc.2018.04.001\">the less likely they were to comprehend it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When people read quickly,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drum.lib.umd.edu\/handle\/1903\/24981\">they interact with the text on a more superficial level<\/a>, often skipping over entire sentences or paragraphs and failing to reread important parts of the text.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tried and true techniques<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To help struggling readers, especially those with dyslexia and ADHD, research suggests that one of the most helpful tools can be to simply encourage reading more slowly.<\/p>\n<p>This is the antithesis of Bionic Reading\u2019s argument. However, unlike Bionic Reading, the \u201cread more slowly\u201d school of thought\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;id=suc1o0hueowC&amp;oi=fnd&amp;pg=PA91&amp;dq=slow+down+reading+for+dyslexia&amp;ots=j9deteB8pJ&amp;sig=0IRQ0YYJ7nou5U4PhOmmd8Oc9W8#v=onepage&amp;q=slow%20down%20reading%20for%20dyslexia&amp;f=false\">has decades of research<\/a>\u00a0supporting it.<\/p>\n<p>Other simple steps, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;id=XZvzCwAAQBAJ&amp;oi=fnd&amp;pg=PA7&amp;dq=follow+along+as+you+read+for+comprehension&amp;ots=1GHql5fO44&amp;sig=DKWLKk9lwWbjx3bWyTsm5lcRK54#v=onepage&amp;q=follow%20along%20as%20you%20read%20for%20comprehension&amp;f=false\">following along with your finger or computer mouse<\/a>, can be helpful for those with reading difficulties, too.<\/p>\n<p>I can understand the allure of Bionic Reading. Information bombards us. Sources of distraction are rampant. But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hechingerreport.org\/americas-reading-problem-scores-were-dropping-even-before-the-pandemic\/\">reading proficiency scores were dropping to new lows<\/a>\u00a0even before the pandemic.
