- QUICKSPELL PROGRAM Progam # 2
-
- The program is a simple one. Random selections from a list of the most
- commonly misspelled words will be flashed on the computer screen. (There are
- a few bizarre ones, too, just to keep things hopping.) You must observe the
- correct spelling, and enter that spelling once the word has disappeared, to get
- each question right.
-
- The purpose of this exercise is to help you concentrate on the FORM of each
- word, to sharpen your visual memory.
-
- You will be able to choose one of four display speeds for the words. For the
- curious, here is the length of time words are displayed in each mode (in secs):
-
- Slow: 3.2 Medium: 1.6 Fast: 0.4 Super: 0.1
-
- Note that the "Super" speed is in effect a speed-reading exercise; I don't
- recommend starting out with it! If you don't like the speed you've chosen,
- you can change it at any time during the program. You may also exit the
- program at any point.
-
- At the end of the program you'll be able to review any words you missed.
