+ What is your reading rate (speed)?
n Average adult reads 200-250 words per minute (wpm)
n Reader profiles: n 110 wpm: slow reader n 240 wpm: oral reader n 400 wpm: auditory reader n 1000 wpm: visual reader

+ Average reading speeds
n Adult: 250 WPM with 70% comprehension (Smith, 2005)
n College Student: 300 WPM
n Slow Readers: 150 WPM or less, or 250 WPM with limited comprehension

+ Reading rates, methods, and patterns can and do become habit.
1. In time, it is normal for an individual to acquire and fix slow, ineffective reading practices by ongoing repetition.
2. Vocalization and subvocalization—reading aloud or “reading silently”—is the practice which is usually learned by the beginning reader and must be minimized.

+ Reading rate may be increased by either or both of two methods. 1. By reading voluminously over an
extended period of time.
2. By undergoing specialized instruction relative to increasing his or her reading rate.

+Reading rate is determined primarily by the deviations of eye fixations (stops) made per line of print. n Lessen eye stops through:
n conscious and deliberate control of eye movement
n increase in vision consciousness (eye span) area
n a regular, systematic method for visually covering the printed page

+Reading rate (and comprehension) is determined further by other reasons and conditions. n The reader’s basic intelligence, coordination,
and visual acuity.
n The type of material being read.
n The purposes for which the material is read.
n The reader’s familiarity with the field or subject.

+Reading rate (and comprehension) is determined further by other reasons and conditions.
n The degree of the reader’s interest and/or
motivation.
n The reader’s attitude toward reading in general, and the subject in particular.
n The reader’s immediate state of health, well-being, fatigue, comfort, etc.

+The total meaning and content of a text cannot be understood or appreciated fully until the entire content has been read.
n Reading effectively at a faster rate will enable
the individual reader to see the “whole” more quickly, thereby improving overall understanding.
