Supercharge reading speed with this trick called Bionic Reading

Bionic Reading is a technique that aims to improve reading speed and comprehension by emphasizing specific parts of words. It typically highlights or bolds a few key letters in each word, allowing the reader to focus on those letters and quickly grasp the meaning of the text. The brain then uses these visual anchors to fill in the remaining parts of the word, enhancing reading efficiency.

EXAMPLE:

So, Fox took to the wing with his newfound friends and learned the craft of flight. On one such journey, it became night and darkness descended quickly as they flew over the village of the Sasapis/firefly people. The geese where talking about the lack of moon light and how difficult night flying can be, especially with the clouds blocking the stars. One remarked on the light from the nearby firefly village as a great help though. Hearing that, Fox forgot his promise to keep his eyes closed while flying and opened his eyes to see the light. The magic of flight was no longer his and he fell from the sky like a stone. His fall was heart-stopping, but short as he landed in the soft arms of a sacred cedar tree. Tree people have always been of help to those in need and be it a fox falling from the night sky or not; Telala/white cedar was there to quietly help. Fox thanked cedar and gave farewell as he left the treetop and reached the safety of ground. The firefly village was not far off and fox had his eyes set on seeing their fire light. Perhaps he had found his fire the hard way, but where a fire light is seen, there must be a fire like the two-legged have.

At the first example the first three letters of longer words are bolded, making it easier for the reader to skim through the sentence and understand the meaning quickly. In shorter words, only the first two letters are bolded, maintaining the balance between visual anchors and overall readability.

In the second example, the goal is to make the text more visually engaging and help the reader focus on the most important information, without creating confusion or making the text harder to read.


Which one do you prefer reading?
I had already experimented and tried this "bionic" reading technique. After all, the enlargement of the first important letters of a word stimulates our brain's ability to invent images, in fact our brain, as for words, also for sight and reading, is able to process the image of an event first even before it happens so as to be faster in responding to it, basically everything we see is preceded by the imagination of our brain, that's why this method of reading really works.
