Unmasking the Elegance of Text: Reading with Cadence
Have you ever witnessed a figure skater carving across the ice? Their movements are effortless, each turn and glide flowing into the next with an almost musical rhythm. This, my friend, is the essence of Cadence (C2) in reading – the smooth, graceful dance between words and sentences that transforms reading into a captivating performance.
But just like a wobbly beginner on skates, many readers struggle with C2. Words stumble, sentences jar, and understanding becomes a chore. The rhythm is broken, leaving you frustrated and disengaged from the text.
