The ability to read quickly while keeping comprehension is useful for students and professionals alike. Rather than rushing through every page, most people benefit from a steady rhythm and short breaks. A simple way to measure speed is to time yourself on a passage of known length and then divide the word count by the minutes elapsed. Remember that charts, headings, and technical vocabulary can slow you down, and that is normal. Use this tool to benchmark your words per minute on a fixed sample and separately estimate how long a full article might take at your usual pace. Adjust your target speed based on the material: literature may deserve a slower rate than a news brief.
