Is speed reading really a thing?
Can you learn to read faster? Absolutely. But you won’t understand what you’ve read nearly as well if at all. Most educated people can read at approximately the same rate an auctioneer speaks (between 250 to 400 words per minute) with good comprehension.
Do speed readers understand what they read?
But claims that people can triple their reading speed or more (e.g., reading more than 15,000 words per minute, which is equivalent to reading a college-level textbook in less than 6 minutes) are dubious. Studies have found that these speed readers don’t fully grasp the material.
Can someone really read 20000 words per minute?
If you’re a slow reader, you may read at closer to 125 to 200 words per minute. This means reading 20,000 words will take you between 1.7 and 2.7 hours.
