Reading speed test: common questions

What is an average reading speed?

Most adults read about 200–300 words per minute in their own language. Students reading to learn are often slower, and that’s fine.

How can I read faster?

Practise daily with texts you enjoy, take in whole phrases instead of single words, and avoid going back over lines.

Is faster always better?

No. Understanding matters more than speed, especially for study.
