Once upon a time in a bustling city, there lived a young woman named Sarah who was known for her voracious appetite for books. She had a job at a demanding tech startup, leaving her with little time to indulge in her favorite pastime. Frustrated with her inability to keep up with her reading list, she decided it was time to learn the art of speed reading.

Sarah embarked on her speed reading journey by enrolling in an online course. She was skeptical at first, wondering if it was just another one of those self-help fads. However, she quickly realized that speed reading was an entirely different experience.

As she delved into the course, she learned various techniques to enhance her reading speed and comprehension. She practiced minimizing subvocalization, using a pointer, and reading in chunks instead of individual words. At first, it felt awkward and challenging, but Sarah persevered.

With the new skills, Sarah's reading speed began to soar. She could devour novels in a matter of hours, dissect complex research papers, and breeze through reports for her job. Her newfound skill not only impressed her colleagues but also gave her more free time to explore her literary passions.

One day, her boss assigned her a daunting task: analyzing a massive report filled with technical jargon and data. Sarah knew that this would be her ultimate test of speed reading. With determination, she began reading the report, applying all the techniques she had learned. The words flew past her eyes, and her brain absorbed information at an astonishing pace.

Sarah completed the report in record time, impressing her boss and earning the admiration of her colleagues. Her newfound ability not only saved her time at work but also allowed her to indulge in more books during her precious evenings.

Word of Sarah's speed reading prowess spread throughout the office, and soon, her coworkers began seeking her advice on how to improve their reading skills. She happily shared her knowledge, helping others unlock their reading potential.

Sarah's life had transformed, thanks to speed reading. She realized that books were not just a source of knowledge but a gateway to new experiences and adventures. Her journey from a frustrated book lover to a speed reading champion taught her that with dedication and the right techniques, one could conquer even the most daunting challenges. And so, Sarah continued to read, explore, and inspire others to embrace the world of words, one page at a time.

Your Reading Time – 00:00:00

Your Words Per Minute – 000

What Your Beginning Number Means

IF you read between 100-200 words per minute, you are considered a slow “talker” reader who typically sounds out every word either inside your head (mentally whispering) or visibly moving your lips. You are still decoding familiar words which isn’t necessary for adult readers but all too common.

IF you read between 200 and 300 words per minute, you are an average reader. Though this seems faster than the slower readers, you possess some of the slower “talker” reader qualities coupled with some of the faster “thinker” qualities. Understanding how to become a “thinker” reader and less of a “talker” reader will help you read more in less time with increased concentration and comprehension.

IF you read above 300 words per minute, you’re considered a naturally faster “thinker” reader who has figured out how to read more than one word at a time, usually in thought groups. Getting formal training will build awareness for how to capitalize on this natural ability.

All readers, no matter their starting words per minute, have the potential to read smarter, faster and just plain better once they learn the simple active, mindful and conscious reading strategies presented in our speed reading online course.
