Schulte table program
Click on the "Start" button to begin the exercise. You can proceed either by clicking on the numbers in the table or by pressing the “Stop” button. Practice shows that when passing only by timer, the speed of passage will always be much higher, because time is not spent clicking on the table with the mouse. The click method can be good for beginners, especially if you choose the easy mode with the highlighting of the found numbers. The simulator has two modes: “easy” and “training”. In easy mode, all pressed numbers are highlighted.
Training mode
In training mode, the simulator itself sorts through the elements of the table one by one. All you have to do is follow. At low speed you can try to find the element faster than the simulator, and at high speed you can keep track. This approach, with regular practice, will allow you to quickly develop peripheral vision and the ability to quickly find the necessary characters or words in the text, which is very important when reading quickly or searching for information, more about this in the speed reading section.
Letter tables
If you have achieved a good result and quickly complete the exercise with the usual Schulte table, then you can try the letter version of this exercise. Schulte's letter tables allow you to "take a break" from the usual tables and make your brain work a little harder.
Schulte table method
Schulte table you need to look strictly at the center of the table and use peripheral, lateral vision to find numbers or letters in ascending order. The faster all numbers or letters are found in ascending order, the better. During the exercise, you need to stop the internal dialogue, that is, do not say anything to yourself.
These exercises contribute to the development of intelligence, brain development and speed reading. Also, to achieve results, you need to train every day, but no more than 10 workouts to avoid overwork. When you notice that the speed of the exercise is falling, you need to stop training and rest for 15-20 minutes, then start again.
During rest, you should not read, watch TV or do anything similar that leads to mental work. As the speed of passing tables decreases, they usually move to tables with dimensions of 6x6, 7x7, and so on. depending on current abilities.
For younger students and children
Of course, it will be difficult for young children to assemble such tables and they need a simpler option, with fewer numbers and easier to navigate. Therefore, for children you can go through special, small tables of 3x3, 4x3, 4x4 and 5x4 cells.

To successfully study in primary school, children must be able to concentrate their attention and analyze the information received from the teacher. These abilities should be constantly trained and improved. And in order for the teacher to understand whether the student needs correction of these aspects, he can conduct a simple test called the “Schulte Table”. The exercises for children using this technique are simple, but very effective.
What is the essence of Schulte tables?
The Schulte table, or rather their complex, is a psychodiagnostics with which a psychologist, teacher or parent can examine the stability of a child’s attention, its volume and the ability to distribute this attention between objects. The technique also allows you to understand how effective the student’s independent work is. Moreover, the exercise promotes the development of peripheral (in other words, side) vision, which is extremely important for mastering speed reading.
Each table of this technique is developed by the German psychiatrist Walter Schulte. This system has been known to the world since the second half of the twentieth century. The table is a card with the image of a square in which numbers are written randomly. A standard picture is a thick sheet measuring 60x60 cm, divided into 25 squares, each of which contains a number from 1 to 25. Based on the test task, the primary school student must name and show (if convenient, cross out with a pencil) all the numbers in the correct order. You can complete the exercise online, or you can download and print ready-made tables in the required quantity for regular practice at home.
The technique helps:
- understand how stable the child’s attention is;
- verify the effectiveness of independent work;
- examine the mental stability of a student;
- increase attention span;
- improve the speed of orienting-search movements of the gaze;
- adequately evaluate the acquired knowledge;
- quickly, firmly, and most importantly, productively master the educational material.
The Schulte table helps in training, expanding and developing peripheral vision. Regular use of the test has a positive effect on reading speed: the child will be able to quickly find the necessary information parts of the text, therefore, he will read faster.
How to use Schulte tables correctly?
The first rule is that the table should be at a distance of 30-35 cm from the child’s eyes. In this case, it needs to be raised at a slight angle. Next, the preschooler or primary school student must focus his gaze on the center of the card - it is forbidden to look away to the sides, as this will not achieve the desired effect. Further diagnostics are carried out as follows:
- The child holds the chart, looks at it for 10 seconds, and then must turn it face down.
- The student must concentrate on the material he has viewed.
- Next, you should turn the table back over and use a pencil to connect the numbers from 1 to 25 in order, without thinking for a long time about your actions.
- Each number must be said out loud.
- The test can be repeated several times using new cards.
While the child is connecting the numbers in direct order, the teacher must time the stopwatch and record the time it takes the student to complete each individual card. It is not recommended to use more than 10 cards in one training session. Each lesson should last about half an hour. It is advisable to exercise 3-4 times a week. With regular testing, the first results will be visible after 21 days.
It should also be understood that a preschooler will not be able to immediately cope with a 5x5 table. Therefore, simplified versions of 3x3 or 4x4 are allowed. For younger students, 5x5 tables are considered an ideal option. As soon as the first successes in improving the orientation in the depicted elements are noticeable, the size of the tables can be increased to 6x6, 7x7 and 8x8.
How to conduct testing with Schulte tables in younger schoolchildren: features
For children in grades 1-4, using tables with more than 25 cells is irrational. You should start small: a 3x3 square or 3x5 rectangle will do just fine. In this case, the task can be complicated: ask them to name the numbers not only in direct form, but also in reverse order which ones are even and which are odd.
To enhance the effectiveness of the tables, they can be slightly modified. Thus, it is allowed to color part of the numbers red and the other part black. Then the student’s task will change:
- All red numbers should be shown.
- Show all black numbers.
- Name the red numbers using straight counting.
- Name the black numbers using backward counting.
This way, the student will play and not do boring things. You can use other variations of tables, then it will be easier for your child to join regular training on exercise machines.
Interpretation of test results with Schulte tables and their processing
To calculate efficiency with Schulte tables, use the following formula:
ER = (t1+…t5)/5.
T1, t2, t3, t4, t5 – processing time of tables No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. Number 5 – number of processed tables. ER is calculated taking into account the age of the primary school student. The result depends on the score: the higher it is, the better the result).
| Age (years) | 5 points | 4 points | 3 points | 2 points | 1 point |
| 6 | 60-56 | 61-70 | 71-80 | 81-90 | From 91 |
| 7 | 55-51 | 56-65 | 66-75 | 76-85 | From 86 |
| 8 | 50-46 | 51-60 | 61-70 | 71-80 | From 81 |
| 9 | 46-41 | 46-55 | 56-65 | 66-75 | From 76 |
| 10 | 40-36 | 41-50 | 51-60 | 61-70 | From 71 |
| 11 | 35-31 | 36-45 | 46-55 | 56-65 | From 66 |
| From 12 | 30-1 | 31-35 | 36-45 | 46-55 | From 56 |
Degree of workability in the process (how quickly the child gets involved in the work) is calculated as follows:
BP = t1/ER.
Important: for this calculation, the time spent on calculating the first table is taken. Determination result VR may be higher than one (it is very difficult for a younger student to delve into the process and takes a long time to get involved in it) and less than one (which indicates high level Vr).
It would not be superfluous to determine the indicator mental stability, that is, the student’s ability to concentrate on a specific task - PU:
PU = t4/ER.
For calculations, we take the time spent specifically working with the fourth table. If the result is less than one, it means that the student is characterized by strong mental stability. If it is above one, it means that the child is poorly concentrating on the tasks at hand.
The advantage of the Schulte method is the simplicity of the test and ease of data processing. However, with the help of this simulator you can teach your child to read quickly and navigate the information field well. Thanks to regular classes with Schulte tables, the child’s attention improves, the ability to concentrate on a specific task, memory and thinking improve, and lateral vision develops. The main thing for adults is to strictly follow the test procedure and correctly interpret the results. And remember that the position of the numbers on the card must be constantly changed, because children very quickly remember their location in the table.
What it is? The Schulte table is a table in which certain information (most often sequential numbers) is randomly placed in the cells. The most common type of interpretation of the Schulte table (or Shultz tables) is a square table with 5 columns and 5 rows, in which numbers from 1 to 25 are randomly placed. Such a table is shown in the picture below:
The essence of the work with Schulte tables is to quickly sequentially find all the numbers located in the table. Moreover, the emphasis is placed precisely on the speed of finding, which can be increased by special techniques for working with these tables.
The effect of the exercise. Schulte tables are used to develop the pace of information perception, and constant work with Schulte tables helps expand your peripheral vision. A wide field of view reduces the time it takes to search for informational parts of the text. Also, by working with such tables, the speed of visual search movements increases, which is an important component of fast reading skills.
Method of performing the exercise
In order to effectively increase your reading speed, you need to look for numbers silently, that is, silently, in ascending order from 1 to 25. The numbers found are recorded only with your eyes. However, this search has its own peculiarity. In order to perform the exercise correctly, and therefore find all the numbers faster, by training your peripheral vision, you need to focus on the central cell of the table so that you can see the entire table.
The best training of visual skills when working with Schulte tables is achieved with the maximum possible absence of horizontal and vertical eye movements. To do this, it is necessary to maintain the correct distance from the eyes to the table. The further away the table is, the more convenient it is to look at all its cells at once. The optimal distance to the table should correspond to a comfortable distance to the monitor when reading. Usually this is 40-50 centimeters, but you don’t need to move your eyes too far, only if it is difficult for you to see the entire table.
Improper execution of the exercise

Correct execution of the exercise

Achieving the desired effect. When working with Schulte tables, it is important to understand that you are training your visual skills. Therefore, the main thing is not the desire to complete each table as soon as possible, but the correct execution of the exercise, that is, adherence to the methodology described above. At first, you may have some difficulties doing the exercise, but with each subsequent table you will find the numbers faster and faster. Eventually you will realize that you are now finding numbers much sooner than if you were just looking for them with normal eye movements. This is the desired effect of the exercise method with Schulte tables.
Lesson mode. Good peripheral vision, as well as visual search skills, can be achieved not only with the correct execution of number searches, but also with a constant, systematic training program. Therefore, it is important to work with Schulte tables at least 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes for 2-3 weeks. If your eyes start to get tired during class, it is better to take a short break or repeat the exercise the next day.
Reading is a necessary condition for a child’s development, the basis of the entire educational process. The rate of assimilation of educational material and the development of his mental abilities in general depend on the speed of a student’s reading.
All parents of primary schoolchildren face the challenge of speed reading. School program provides for conducting control tests to determine reading speed for students from grades 1-4. And if in the first grade testing is of an introductory nature, that is, the child is not given a grade, then for students in grades 2-4 a table of standards has been adopted, based on which a grade is assigned for reading technique.
Parents should not forget about other criteria, in addition to the number of words read per minute, which are also taken into account when determining the level of reading technology. This is the correctness of reading, the way of reading (by syllables or whole words), expressiveness and understanding of what is read.
The optimal reading speed is one that matches the tempo of spoken language. So, by the time a student graduates from primary school, he should read at a speed of 100-120 words per minute. In practice, many are faced with an overestimation of the above reading speed standards. Hence the worry that the child should not be last in the class, and the feverish search for advice on forums on how to increase the reading speed of a 1st or 2nd grade child?
Any parent strives for his child to be the first, the best, the fastest, the very best. The main thing here is not to overdo it. So, some parents even send their first-graders to speed reading classes, where children will be challenged with a whole set of exercises to increase reading speed even before the child has learned to read easily and naturally. Before teaching a child to do something quickly, you must first teach him how to do it in principle.
But why in 1st grade are children taught to read syllable by syllable if this contradicts the logic of quick perception of information and the basic principles of speed reading techniques? Psychologists say the main reason for low reading speed in children is a narrow scope (angle) of vision. Based on this, the child is first taught letters, then syllables are mastered, and only after that acquaintance with words begins. Modern methods of early and rapid learning to read are based on scientific research and successful practical experience According to which, in order to successfully master reading skills, it is necessary to work on expanding the child’s angle of vision. A wider field of view allows you to see the entire word, rather than just part of it. A word, unlike a syllable, will be associated with a visual image and carry a certain semantic load for the child. For example, teaching reading using Doman cards is based on this principle.
How to develop a wider field of vision in a child to increase reading speed?
Exercises based on Schulte tables come to the rescue.
Traditionally, this simulator is used to improve speed reading skills. The tables represent 25 numbers placed in a chaotic order; in the center of the table is an eye for focusing vision. Trying to look only at it, you need to see all the numbers and sequentially go through them from 1 to 25.
Thus, by training with Schulte tables, children develop three-dimensional, or parallel, attention. Those. the brain performs two tasks simultaneously, in parallel: it perceives all the numbers in the field of vision, and goes through them in the required order. While reading, this skill will manifest itself in the fact that the child will see a larger fragment of text, and the brain will simultaneously recognize what is being read in this moment words and phrases that have not yet been read aloud, thus significantly increasing the reading speed of primary schoolchildren.
As you can see, the use of Schulte tables for children solves a slightly different problem: not to teach to read diagonally, but to expand the “field of vision” to allow reading not by syllables, but by whole words, phrases, fluently, without hesitation, eating particles, endings, etc. .d.
According to Schulte's tables, it is better for the child to study together with his parents. It is necessary to control the movement of the child’s gaze so that his gaze does not run across the entire table, but focuses on its central element - the picture in the form of an eye. Classes should be regular, 3-4 times a week for 15-20 minutes.
Presented on our website, they have a number of advantages over conventional paper versions:
- they contain game elements (3 levels of difficulty, including a color version of the Schulte table), thanks to which children study easily, naturally, even with excitement;
- the ability not only to look, but also to click on the cells with the required numbers, which makes classes more effective and mistakes noticeable;
- a clear result of each workout (time to complete the table, the ability to share your results with friends in in social networks, grow, compare with others by rating).
Training with our game simulator based on Schulte tables is perhaps one of the best exercises for speed reading in 1st grade.
In addition to training using Schulte tables, elementary school students should also learn other speed reading rules:
- the gaze should not randomly run across the text, return to what was read, but move along the line from word to the next word;
- while reading, you need to be attentive, think about the meaning of the text, and not just chase the “record”;
- Daily reading (both aloud and silently) is a necessary condition for speed reading.
Improving a student’s conscious and quick reading will also be helped by performing some other exercises in combination with Schulte tables for speed reading:
- pronouncing pure tongue twisters and tongue twisters;
- exercises with a table of consonants;
- choral, role-playing and “buzzing” reading;
- synchronous reading by “tug”;
- reading for adults;
- searching for an answer to a question in the text;
- search in the text for words starting with one letter or the desired line;
- and a number of other similar exercises.
My site is called one of the 6 steps to Eternal Youth "Fitness for the brain"- regular training to develop and restore intelligence and memory. Of course I would like it in a tablet. Like I threw it in my mouth, washed it down with clean spring water and - voila! You practically Spinoza did not receive the Nobel Prize for your discoveries only due to an oversight or due to the machinations of competitors. Who also found out about the pills.
But, unfortunately or fortunately, when God invented man, he created our body balanced and harmonious. And if we try to suddenly overload ourselves in one place, it turns off the system in another. If suddenly, in the midst of complete health, a pill for Spinoza invented by bad people redirects all the resources of our body to the explosive growth of intelligence and memory, then the built-in fuses will limit the supply of resources to the reproductive system, for example. Like, why do you need this if you’re suddenly so smart?
Hence the conclusion: Any changes and improvements in your own body must be made gradually and, preferably, comprehensively
Same with brains. Calm, regular exercise and training of memory and intelligence will give much more significant results than any pill. And without side effects such as diarrhea and impotence.
Primary and peripheral vision.
The flow of information into our brain is carried out largely through vision, which is divided into two types - main and peripheral
Primary vision a person perceives information in front of his eyes. This is what vision perceives clearly, in all its details. Here you are, now, reading these lines, and you clearly see a certain word in front of you. This is our main vision.
And, all those words that are before and after, above or below are perceived a little differently, less clearly. The surrounding environment, monitor, table, furniture in the room are also less clearly perceived. This ability of our vision has been called peripheral vision.
And it turns out to be quite an interesting relationship. What we see clearly takes up much less space in the overall picture compared to blurry image. This means that the bulk of information comes to us through peripheral vision. And, if we want to increase the amount of perception, we need to learn to work on this very lateral vision.
And one of the basic exercises for training lateral vision is working with Schulte tables.
Schulte tables
These are ordinary tables with numbers from 1 to 25. The task of the exercise is simple - you need to find all the numbers from one to twenty-five. It seems simple and elementary, you don’t have to count anything or strain yourself. But the essence of this exercise is that you need to learn how to do this while looking exactly at the center of the table. And, if possible, make as little eye movements as possible.
That's the whole trick. And to control, you need to measure the time during which you found all the numbers.
If you have found all the numbers in 20-30 seconds, this is a good result, but it makes sense to practice more.
If your result about a minute, or more, then this is the very case when you need to work more closely on your ability to perceive information and the ability to process it. You will see for yourself that after a few days of training, the speed and quality of perception will begin to improve.
The desired result is 10 Seconds. This is the milestone that clearly shows that your peripheral vision is in good, working shape.
The effect of working with Schulte tables
It would seem that the simplest task is to look for numbers in the table. It’s not easy to solve equations with three unknowns. Yeah, the simplest one 
It is quite difficult to keep your gaze on the central square. The eyes move on their own different directions to find the required number.
This is the main difficulty, and the main value of this exercise.
It is not the eyes that should guide our consciousness, but consciousness that should be able to influence the work of the eyes
If you have already decided to learn how to control your head, then there should be one “command post” - your consciousness.
So, the main difficulty is the ability to keep your gaze on the central cell. The habit of moving our eyes chaotically is so firmly established in our heads that sometimes it begins to seem like there is no number at all. And to make sure of this, you “necessarily” need to look at all the cells with a direct glance.
This is a kind of trick, a check for lice. This issue is resolved quite quickly - there are 25 cells and 25 numbers, so everything is in place, no doubt.
And one moment.
When you learn to look at all the cells at once, your gaze becomes defocus. It’s one thing to look at an object and clearly see part of it, and a completely different thing to look as if through the object. See him and everything around him.
Defocusing takes the perception of information to a completely different level. The number increases significantly. With the right approach, you can learn to perceive an entire page of text in about 2 - 3 seconds. Information seems to flow into our heads.
But this is a higher, but not at all unattainable skill, if there is a desire. In about a year or a year and a half of training, you can accustom your consciousness to this regime. But, I repeat, this is for those who decided to work on this issue. We are still mastering ordinary mental gymnastics.
The quality of perception changes, and the quality of assimilation automatically changes. These are interconnected processes. And this is a direct road to good memory, good memorization.
How to work with Schulte tables
- It is advisable to do this twice a day, for about ten minutes. You shouldn’t overexert yourself, it won’t give the right dynamics.
- Let's sit back and relax. It is advisable to turn on either pleasant music or a good, correct mood.
- We direct our gaze to the center of the table, and, as if fixing this position, we give ourselves the command to make minimal movements.
- We turn on the stopwatch and begin searching for numbers from 1 to 25. The eyes should make minimal movements. All work takes place in the blurred spectrum of vision.
- There is no need to make a cult out of this, and it is imperative, right now, no matter what, to achieve the maximum result. Everything should happen gradually. After working out for three weeks, achieving a certain stable result, take a break. In a week or two, try again.
Gradually, you will see the effect yourself. You will see for yourself how much your ability to perceive information, memory, and thinking will improve.
When you need to think up, create, write something, work with the tables, and the process will proceed at a higher level of concentration, a higher creative level.
You will create for yourself correct mode training. And don’t forget that this is just a basic exercise, a kind of gymnastics, exercise for the head, maintaining good, working shape.
Schulte tables online
There are enough services on the Internet where you can train with Schulte tables. With timers and difficulty selection. I'll give you a few links. You can find your own.
Choose what you like best and go ahead. Remember that the main thing is regularity. It makes sense to keep a results diary and monitor your own progress. Maybe the day will come when you will be able to pass such a table
