Why Measure Your Reading Speed?
Measuring your reading speed is the first step toward improving it. By understanding your current WPM, you can set realistic goals and track your progress over time. A higher reading speed not only saves time but also enhances your ability to process information quickly and efficiently.
Tips to Improve Your Reading Speed
- Eliminate Distractions: Find a quiet environment to focus on the text.
- Use a Pointer: Guide your eyes with your finger or a pen to maintain a steady pace.
- Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is key to improving any skill.
- Expand Your Vocabulary: Understanding words quickly reduces the need to re-read sentences.
- Avoid Subvocalization: Try not to "say" each word in your head as you read.
