Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you try these exercises. Trying to beat your best speed can provide great motivation. Here's how to time your reading in words per minute (wpm):  Count the number of words on a page, or count the number in one line and multiply by the number of lines on the page. Set a timer for ten minutes and see how much you can read in that time. Multiply the number of pages you read by the number of words per page. Divide by ten to get your words per minute. You can use an online "speed reading test," but you will probably read at a different pace on a screen than on a printed page. Your reading speed should improve if you repeat one or more of these exercises daily. Many people can double their reading speed after several weeks. Set yourself milestones to motivate yourself to keep practicing:  200–250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone age 12 or older. 300 wpm is the reading speed of the average college student. At 450 wpm, you're reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. Ideally, you can do this with almost total comprehension. At 600–700 wpm, you're reading as fast as a college student scanning to find a word. Most people can learn to read at this speed with about 75% of their normal comprehension.  At 1,000 wpm and above, you're reaching the level of competitive speed readers. This usually requires extreme techniques that skip over most of the text. Most people can't remember much at this speed.
