I read about subitizing recently. There’s this weird thing about items being split between both visual fields that helps remember more items.
Are you talking about when they’re reading aloud? Pardon my confusion, I am tired and I’m going to sleep.
Sometimes I read aloud because I have zero attention span. It keeps me on task. I notice when I get distracted faster. It’s not because the content doesn’t keep my attention, but because my brain goes off on 5000 different related rabbit trails. Sometimes reading aloud doesn’t even help with that.
