This is fun. Take a quick test to see how fast you read and how your speed compares to other people. Then you'll get to see how long it would take you to read popular and classic books at that speed.
Click the image to start your test. You can use the little Options Cog to pick the book you'd like to read from and the length of the sample. The say a longer sample is more accurate.
Be sure to come back and let me know how you did! I got 367 words per minute - 47% faster than the national average. My son got 900 and some words per minute. I'm jealous. I wish I could read as fast as he does! (of course, he was reading at a 7th grade level at the end of 2nd grade, and he's been reading voraciously ever since)
