today.
Slower readers re-read words for meaning or pronunciation and can only see and read
one word at a time. Fixating on each individual word reduces their reading rate and thus
lowers their level of comprehension. Additionally, less efficient readers mentally
vocalize or physically mouth each word, which means they are only able to read as
fast as they can speak, which is usually only about 160 to 220 words per minute.
The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts
On the other hand, Fluent Readers are more efficient, effective readers because
they see and read groups of words at once. Fluent Readers do not fixate on single
words and do not re-read words. Because of this, Fluent Readers do not vocalize
each word, making it possible to read faster.
In fact, the human brain can handle thousands of words per minute, which dispels
the popular myth that slow reading leads to better comprehension. Because Fluent
Readers see and read groups of words, they are better able to derive meanings of
words from context instead of picking apart each word. If you want to read faster
