The average person reads 240 words per minute. Here's why that's holding you back.
250 WPM is roughly what most adults read at.
A typical non-fiction book is 70,000 words. At 250 WPM, reading an hour a day, that's ~5 hours to finish one book.
Speed readers who hit 500+ WPM finish in under 2.5 hours. Same comprehension — often better, because they lose less context between sessions.
The biggest blocker isn't ability. It's two habits most readers never fix:
1. Subvocalization — reading every word out loud in your head. It caps your speed at speaking pace (~150 WPM). You don't need to "hear" words to understand them. Training your eyes to chunk phrases instead of individual words is what breaks this ceiling.
2. Regression — re-reading lines you already passed. It feels like comprehension, but it's usually anxiety. A trained pacer eliminates this completely.
These aren't tricks. They're skills. Both are trainable in 2-3 weeks with focused drills.
If you're a student, researcher, or professional who reads more than 30 minutes a day — the ROI here is massive.
