[AlyssaMcKinneyy]

[SabanAdmir]

[WatchCharmedOnline]

[MMLauritsen]

320 with a good comprehension :)

[speedreadingclasses]

@MMLauritsen Awesome! That's definitely better than average... -Paul

[MMLauritsen]

@speedreadingclasses I've trained for 2 days now, and I already read 400-450 WPM. But I tend to fall back in the habit of saying every word (in my head(when I've read for a couple of minutes)), is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

[AOZXRAY]

@MMLauritsen the guy on learn to speed read! by mathcrazytutoring has an exercise for this

[movethedota]

i got 400 im 7th grade

[sonofhendrix]

326 based on the control article and 3 line average thingy. i want to get about 1000WPM!!!

[ryanpet266]

[knightfox123]

243 words per minute 6th grader

[TheConfucius]

400, seventh grader :D

[XperimentSonicle]

493 words per minute. Think I could of finished the first article had it not been for the constant scrolling. I am double the average, yes I understood what I was reading.

[vetiarvind]

420 .. and i deliberately paced myself to "simulate" a normal 1 min. session..will hv to try a spurt

[eternallyverdant]

I think that some commenters need to work on their arithmetic before they move on to speed reading.

I got 330 on a novel in French, 430 on an singing manual, and a slightly ridiculous 620 on the article on their website. I don't think I'm going to bother with the rest of the tutorial.

[Lukesrad747]

[n8iveidiot13]

i remember watching a video that if your going to practice speed reading ... practice for around 5 - 15 minutes a day so u avoid eye strain

just a tip to help you out

[bloodroses25]

[Zobor111]

Try the Evelyn Wood speed reading program. It worked for me, just the book works. I went from 260 to 771 wpm in one week now I do avg 1500 or better a minute. The mind can be trained to perform better its just that our 'education' doesn't do it.

[blacky156]

This is a fucking waste of time. dont go to the site

[stevenpers]

i readed the numbers does that count?

[mblake1777]

i read medium material at 506 a minute.

[allie3157]

i had a 320 wpm wow

[batlin]

He says that the 'average' reading speed of 150-250 WPM is based on 1 minute of reading, meaning that they measure a 1 minute 'burst' rather than say, 1 random minute somewhere in a 10 minute reading stretch, or simply averaging over a longer reading period.

He asserts that the real average reading speed is probably slower over the long run. This seems backward to me - when told to read for exactly 1 minute, there's no context so you start with unfamiliar material - there's no flow.

[Alzareon]

A very professional presentation. This is great!
