One of the major goals of  reading is to get students to process print by punctuation intervals, making  sure they understand each punctuation interval by itself, and then how it relates to the next punctuation interval, or the rest of the sentence. Presenting text a punctuation interval at a time is very helpful for these purposes.

Secondly, students reading history or philosophy or other dense material, often find that having the punctuation interval repeated, after they have worked through it the first time, makes all the difference in whether or not they understand the text.

Thirdly, different students and adults need different amounts of time to process what they have just read. Being able to pause at the end of punctuation intervals is a lifeline for many readers. This pausing teaches them transferrable skills for reading on their own with regular books.
