What are a say reader, a hear reader and a sight reader?

[Jupiter]

Hi teachers,

Please see the following:

Following this plan you will move from being a say reader, to a hear reader to a sight reader.

What do a say reader, a hear reader and a sight reader mean?

Thanks in advance

Jupiter

I can only suppose that these are steps in learning to read: a 'say' reader would speak the text aloud as s/he read, a 'hear' reader would read silently, but still 'hear' the sounds of the words in his/her inner ear, and a 'sight' reader would simply recognize the words on the printed page.

But I may be terribly wrong.
