How Fast Do You Read?
 

This is easy to find out, take a book find words per line, lines per page, do some multiplication to find out how many words per page there are. Read for a few minutes, find out how far you got and how many words per minute (WPM) you read. Average is about 250 WPM I think.

I read about 350 less when I'm not concentrating, maybe more like 450 when I'm really in the zone (don't lose any comprehension when I'm into a book and reading faster).

took me about 15 seconds to read this post if that helps.

not sure how to easily know the number of words on a page in a book without actually counting them out... am i missing something ?

edit: nevermind i see you're assuming the amount of words per line is the same every line. gotcha.

I was about 550. I think you need more categrories above 500, as I don't consider myself *that* fast a reader.

too late now, people above 500 just say what WPM you are (it will be interesting to see who the people are that get above 500 WPM anyway). smiley how do you read that fast? that is prtty darned fast

I thought this Infomercial was BS, then we used this program in my Educational Psychology class in college. I was amazed at how much my reading speed and retention improved.

So this is the reason for the post, IMHO you can't go wrong with it, faster reading AND better retention!
