Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
Students will learn how to speed read and improve their reading speed and comprehension skills in one week. The average reader is around 150-250 Words Per Minute. The goal is to increase by 20%-30% during the week of practice. After a month of daily practice, students should begin to see their normal reading speed increase to 400-600 wpm, and then with practice over 3-6 months, ideally even up to speeds of 1000 wpm. (Only 1% of readers read at 450 wpm or faster). During this week,...
Students will improve their reading speed and comprehension by at least 20-30% above their starting base rate. (Often students will begin around 200wpm, and increase to 400wpm, 600 wpm, or more). Many will read much, much faster than that. They will learn when to use this skill and when to read at a slower pace. They will maintain high levels of comprehension (75% or better) as they increase their reading speed.
