#8: You assign students reading outside of classtime.
#7: You have ever lost your place in the text when looking away.
#6: Your students have ever lost their place in the text when looking away.
#5: You have a student who cannot easily scan to find a portion of text.
#4: You assign tasks that require students to move back and forth between a text and a worksheet or other source (perhaps a dictionary or speller).
#3: Your students share textual materials (directions sheets, books, etc.) during group work.
