reading animated text
As you are reading the real pleasure in life, occasionally
the words will begin to react to what’s going on in the story.
say the narrator’s scalp starts to
tingle.
or his legs go
wobbly.
when reading animated text, the challenge is to get your eyes in the right place when the animation starts. since we cant know where your eyes are, youll have to get used to reading the animations at a point just above the middle of the screen.
scroll ahead to show the target area. dont worry about missing it. the page will 'catch' you if you scroll too far.
---- > right here! < ----
an animated paragraph will start invizible, and only fade in when it’s ready to animate. (this will prevent you from reading it too soon.) when you see a blank page below the target area, like you do now, get ready.
D, clearly moved by trish’s linguistics, hurld herself at trish.
if you miss something, scroll back and the animation resets. try it with the animation above. scroll up and down to see it reset and replay.
if things happen too fast, slow down the pace of your scrolling. if reading on a touch device, scroll by flicking or pushing [ rather than hold-and-drag, which can cause flickering ]
The text animations and writing style were developed
especially for this book. they are even part of the plot—
what’s going on with this quirky little college town, where
evry street sign is misspelled?
and how could it convince a life-long english teacher to suddenly start writing (and spelling) like this?
