Leaders in speed reading technology since 1988 How Does Your Light Reading Speed Compare Below? Did you make a note of your reading speed for the Light Reading Check and the Study Reading Check Interpret your reading efficiency in the table below? 1 - 100 wpm A very basic reading ability. Low level of reading experience coupled with low comprehension and understanding. Maximum levels of regression sub-vocalization and mind drift . Reading is hard work at this speed. 100 - 200 wpm Readers between 6 and 12 years of age, OR an individual displaying a life-long avoidance of reading, wherever possible. Characterized by high levels of regression, sub-vocalization and concentration problems. Comprehension is about half (50%) or less of what is read. 200 - 250 wpm An average reading speed in which the vast majority of the world's readers are positioned for most of their lives. Regression of about 10% of all words read with full sub-vocalization. Occasional concentration problems. Generally understanding more than half of what is read. 250 - 350 wpm A marginally above-average reading speed characteristic of post-high school graduates, or casually enthusiastic readers with a fair reading experience. Occasional regressions with slightly reduced sub-vocalization. No problem in understanding more than half of what is read.

63. The RM: EXTENSIVE READING: SPEED AND COMPREHENSION By Timothy Bell This site provides extensive information on reading strategies and skills. Some subheadings include What is Reading?, Mental Processing, Reading and Study Skills, Reading College http://www.readingmatrix.com/articles/bell/index.html

The Reading Matrix Vol. 1, No. 1, April 2001 EXTENSIVE READING: SPEED AND COMPREHENSION Timothy Bell Abstract Introduction Background Studies Method The following hypothesis were tested in the study: Learners in the 'extensive' group will achieve significantly faster reading speeds than those in the 'intensive' group as measured on relatively easy, non-problematic texts. Learners in the 'extensive' group will achieve significantly higher scores on a test of reading comprehension containing texts at an appropriate level, than those in the 'intensive' group. In measuring reading speed, subjects were first assured that the exercise would not form part of their assessment and they were then told to read at normal speed. They were given a time limit of three minutes and told that when the researcher banged on the desk they were to mark the word they had reached with a cross (x). Measurements were taken twice using selected texts (see appendix 1). Speeds were then calculated in words per minute and tabulated. For the reading comprehension tests, a time limit of 30 minutes was set for each test. Brief examples of how to complete test items were provided, examination conditions established, and the tests administered. All tests were administered prior to the study in September 1993, and again on completion in February 1994.

Kennedy's Inaugural Address January 20, 1961 We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom symbolizing an end as well as a beginning signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbearers prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbearers fought are still at issue around the globe the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has ... Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah to "undo the heavy burdens . . . . . and let the oppressed go free." You read between - 50 words per minute. Basic reading ability. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.
