Although readers think that their eyes move smoothly across print, this is not so. In the late 1800s a French ophthalmologist named Javal found that the eye makes a series of discrete fixations with fast movements in-between. The movements take less than 15 milliseconds, during which little information is obtained. The information comes from the fixations, which represent 90 to 95% of the reading time (Just & Carpenter 1987).

are the abrupt voluntary shift in fixation from one point to another. When children are reading, this occurs as their eyes jump from word to word or from the end of one line to the beginning of another.
