Reading Speed Test

Average adults read at 200-300 WPM. Fast readers hit 400-700 WPM. Speed readers can exceed 1000 WPM, though comprehension may decrease at higher speeds.

Practice daily, reduce subvocalization (saying words in your head), use a pointer to guide your eyes, and expand your peripheral vision to read word groups instead of individual words.

Yes! After reading, answer 3-5 multiple-choice questions to verify you understood the material. Your final score combines speed and comprehension.
