Reading speed is an important factor in academic success. There are many things we need to read and if we read too slowly, it is a problem. Remember that we can use different reading speeds depending on what we are reading for and depending on the type of text we are reading. But generally, for academic study you should be aiming for an average reading speed of 200 words per minute (wpm). Below 150 wpm is a problem. This speed is with an average comprehension of 70%. You don't need 100% comprehension. There are many resources that can help you improve your reading speed, but first you must know what it is.
Here is a neat website to calculate your reading speed.
