The Speed Reader's Hideout

You have been searching the web for free resources to learn how to read faster. Search no further.

This blog will aggregate the information available on speed reading and condense it into an easily digestible form.

In addition to my own articles on speed reading, you will be provided with links to free speed reading exercises and lessons.

Before you go any further, take a free reading speed and comprehension test here. Repeat the test at least 3 times and write down your average speed and comprehension. Now, calculate your effective reading rate by multiplying your speed, say 150 words per minute, by your comprehension , say 80% (0.8). The effective reading rate of this example would be 150 x 0.8 or 120 words per minute. Keep track of your effective reading rate and regularly update it by retesting. By doing so, you will be able to clearly see your progression.
