意群閱讀(Reading in thought groups)
一個(gè)好的閱讀者在閱讀過(guò)程中眼睛的移動(dòng)是從一個(gè)意群到另一個(gè)意群;而普通閱讀者閱讀時(shí)眼睛從一個(gè)單詞移動(dòng)到另一個(gè)單詞。避免把一個(gè)單詞讀出來(lái)，即使在腦子里讀出一個(gè)單詞而不出聲也很浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。
E.g. (The little boy Johnie ) (had been up) (with a packet of mints) (and said) (he wouldn’t go out to play) (until the post had come.)
