N.i.H. An update on the Neurological Impress Method and the Presenting Technique. The Neurological Impress Method (NIM) is a remedial reading method whereby the student and the instructor read aloud together in unison. The instructor leads the reading while a finger is slid along under the words of the sentence being read. Care is taken that the finger is precisely located where the wor d is being read. The instructor sits to the right side and to the rear of the student. The instructor's voice is directed toward the right ear of the learner. No corrections are made during or after the reading session. The NIM was developed first, and the Presenting Tech- nique was later designed to accommodate children with poorer beginning reading skills.
