On both of these downward-diagonal sweeps, only three fixations are made. The expanded fixation is called the "soft glance,"and is by far the most important Reading Dynamics technique, and the most difficult to master. It assumes a greatly decreased subvocalization. Evelyn Wood's theory is there is no reason why vertical vision should...
