Reading Practice & Comprehension: RSVP

Technique: RSVP — Rapid Serial Visual Presentation; one to three words flash at a time, everything else stays hidden

Only one to three words are visible at any moment — everything before and after stays hidden. Nothing to skip back to, nothing to skim ahead of. This trains your eyes to move forward at a fixed pace instead of drifting back over text you've already read, which is exactly the habit strong IELTS and exam readers build.

How this helps your reading

Choose a passage below — each is written in an IELTS-style academic tone.
Press play. Words flash one at a time (or in small groups) in the centre of the dark panel; nothing else on the page is visible while you read.
Adjust the speed (words per minute) and the group size — start with single words at a slow pace, and build up to two or three words at once as you improve.
When the passage ends, answer 5 comprehension questions to check what you actually absorbed at that speed.
