I started at 165 wpm because I found that I was constantly re-reading lines because my mind was always focused on something else while reading. Being able to focus better and then also learning the 'finger' method of reading with constant movement and skimming meaningless words like - and, to, the, a - and so forth, I am really amazed at how much I've improved. And by the way, that was only after going through 8 chapters in the 36 chapter book put together by Peter Kump, who apparently worked with Evelyn Wood. The book is 'Break-Through Rapid Reading'. My goal is to break at least 1000 wpm when finished with the book. I really wood like to break 1500 wpm with excellent comprehension and memory recall, because I do enjoy reading and learning.

I do plan on continuing to practice. I think I have to practice at a far faster speed to break the barrier. We'll see if I can hit the 700 mark.

To be honest, I'm not sure I want to read much faster than 600wpm!! At least not for enjoyment… I guess it also depends on the book.

I was reading Zorba The Greek this week and I had no choice but to read slower simply due to the way it was written.

There seems to be this barrier between 600-800 wpm, that's similar to breaking the sound barrier and heading into mach 1. <br><br>I would encourage you to keep pushing yourself with your consistent practice because it sounds like you're getting closer to breaking that barrier.

I would encourage you to keep pushing yourself with your consistent practice because it sounds like you're getting closer to breaking that barrier. If you get in a rut, or feel like you've plateaued, feel free to shoot me an email at my website.

I decided to retest today as I felt I was slowing down with some books over the weekend but the tests said I was wrong.

* Initial Reading Speed: Came in at 424 wpm with solid comprehension
* After Test Testing Speed: 624 wpm – Funny exact same number I put up last time I did the test. I wonder if this is a max for me?

I tried “Photo-Reading” some time back and asked for my money back.

This could be worth a go.
