Reading speed practice

Take a book with fairly standardized formatting, meaning mostly text with few bullet lists or graphs.

1. Figure out roughly how many words are on a page.
2. Establish your baseline. Read for one minute at your normal speed. Then figure out how many words roughly you have read. That’s your words per minute rate (wpm). 
3. Train yourself to focus on the middle third of the page while just dotting down the page.
4. Track with your finger. Trace underneath the line as you read to ensure your eye doesn’t bounce to previously read material.
5. For five minutes, read slightly faster than your comprehension allows.
