How do you not move your eyes when reading a teleprompter?

How do you read a speech without looking like you’re reading?
If You Are Going to Read The idea is to not look as if you are reading. During the pauses in your speech, you look at the text, which, by the way, should be typed only on the tops of pages in very large print. This way your eyes don’t look too far down. So, you look at the text, and then “scoop” a sentence or two.
