Abstract
The discloser describes a method of displaying text as a reading training aid to activate a reader's comprehension monitoring. In embodiment, a user is presented with a title on a display, which disappears when text related to the title is shown to the user. After reading the text, the user must decide whether the title, which is no longer visible on the display, matched the content of the text. If a user answers incorrectly, they are presented with a waiting period before continuing. In other embodiments, the text of the paragraph is removed from the display before the user is asked to evaluate a summarization of the text.
