This is what we call Natural Vision. When we are seeing almost anything, we are using Natural Vision, except when we are looking at a page of print. You see, in first grade we were taught how to have tunnel vision. Most people can only see one word at a time. You may as well read through a straw.
Tunnel vision is unnatural and fatiguing to the eyes.
You need to look at a page of print with more Natural Vision so that we are seeing several words at once. In fact, let s pretend that each page of print is just a picture of a tree, with each word being a leaf. They are just to SEE the words. Some children are able to see all the words on a page in less than 10 seconds. A few in less than 5 seconds.
