Add all these fixations and saccades, and comprehension pauses together, and you end up with about 95 percent of all college-level readers reading between 200 and 400 words per minute.” That takes roughly 0.3 to 0.5 seconds on average. After this is repeated once or twice, you pause to comprehend the phrase you just looked at. This is called a “saccade,” and it takes up to about 0.1 seconds on average. You move your eye to the next word or group of words. This is called a “fixation,” and it takes about 0.25 seconds on average. “When you factor out the amount of time spent thinking through complex and unfamiliar concepts-a rarity when people read for pleasure-reading is an appallingly mechanical process. broke down what we know about reading well in this passage of text: How to Speed Readīefore we go into the art of speed reading, we need to understand how we normally comprehend text.

Love to read books and curious how fast you can read? Well, take this speed reading challenge that'll measure just how fast you can read, tell you exactly how long it'll take to read some popular classics, and compare you with national reading speed averages.
