DancingDot-method speeds up your reading
Creativity consultant Esko A. Koivusalo created Avica Lines -speed reading
method in 1991.
In 1997-98 he developed the Dancing Dot -method for computers
together with the programmers of the company DD.
In 2000 the company compared
the DD -method to the studies of the movement of the eye in computer reading
conducted by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health. Based on the results
of these studies the DD -method was reprogrammed.
As a concentrated trainee you can improve your reading speed considerably
using the DD -method daily for 15...30 minutes.
You can use the DD -method on texts of Shipcat and also
on the texts
written inside Shipcat by teacher.

For future success in school it is crucial to learn to read well before the
ages of nine to ten. The Shipcat will help to develop these reading skills.
