PART 2:Reading Words 1

1. Read words quickly. This is a step to move you away from reading individual letters to reading words as chunk. Each unit contains 10 words to read and is divided in three modes: REVIEW, SPEED CHALLENGE, and SCAN IN TEXT.

In REVIEW mode, 10 words are presented with meaning at a two-second interval. Make sure you can read each and know the meaning.

In SPEED CHALLENGE mode, each word is presented and read after a delay. Read them aloud quickly before you hear the answer.

In SCAN-IN-TEXT mode, katakana words are embedded in text. Scan the text and read out katakana words quickly. You do not need to read the rest of the text. An elapsed time will be shown when you click the finish button.

In SPEED CHALLENGE mode, a delay is calculated by <selected interval> X number of moras. When a word is ドレッシング (6 moras) and you select 0.2 second, the delay will be 1.2 seconds. Our test indicates a delay of 0.1 second is difficult to keep up, but we think it's worth a challenge.
