I would use an informal reading inventory (IRI). Many of them are available. I use the Jennings IRI, here is a link so that you can download it. http://wps.ablongman.com/ab_jennings_readprobs_5\n\nIRI's are great because it assess comprehension as well as speed. If you see that a student is taking a long time reading you can guess that they are not decoding well. This IRI will help you find an approximate level for the student's reading ability and show you where to focus your instruction.

One of those products is called eye Q. Hooked on phonics teaches you how to read not how to read faster. Eye Q works on the premise that some people have trouble reading because their eyes need more exercise. They have a free trial check it out at the link.

The best way to learn to type faster is to just practice.  Take a typing class at your school next year or purchase online lessons for best results.

Stop.\nReading rate is not nearly as important as comprehension.  I read nearly 300 words a minute, but often have to back up and read the same passage over.\nOdds are that you are remembering everything you saw; far more important.\nYour writing is very good- a good indicator of your ability thus far.\nTell ya what... find a large print book.  Uncover one line for just a glimpse and cover it back up.  Recall the line.  Then uncover the next line like the first and so on.\nYou will be reading by phrases instead of by words.  Far faster.\nThere are speed reading courses, but they require you to see just highlights.\nI always recommend Reader's Digest for those wishing to improve.  It has a wide variety of info from a reasonable array of styles.  All condensed down to the absolute essentials.  It also contains improvement features.

You don't need books...If your running slow...go to "start"..then "run" then type msconfig and click on startup and shut everything off that slows you down.\nDon't rely on books...they are only there to confuse those who hate them!\n\nGood Luck

Read more. The more you read the faster you'll become because you will learn to complete the sentence without really having to read it. I know it sounds crazy but  I suppose it's an acquired skill. It works.

"Speed reading" is really just learning to read in larger chunks.  Unlike skimming, you are still trying to understand the whole text.  What you do is you practice looking at larger and larger chunks.  People usually read word by word.  Expand that to reading phrase by phrase.\n\nHaving some music reading skill helps because I explain it this way:  It's like counting one word as a note, but instead of reading in whole notes you start reading in quarters or triplets, then maybe eighths...

None of the above is true. People have different styles and speeds of reading. It is also matter of interest. I can read a Grisham novel cover to cover fast; but take forever to read a technical text. \n\ncc

I'm a speed reader,but I don't think it's wise to speed read for pleasure.it defies the purpose to me.sometimes it's better to take your time and do it right.

I do not know if any of those programs featured on TV work but I have had to learn to speed read in the past, mainly because I was preparing to take the GMAT (which has sections of timed reading so I had to learn to read SUPER-fast).  I learned to speed read from books I picked up on test preparation.  You might want to try getting some books about speed reading first, though if you read slow, it might take you forever to read those books!

well its a boring answer, but just keep reading.  a lot.  whenever you can.  i have read as much as i can all my life and can read a good novel in roughly three hours.  you just get better at it as you go.  you learn which words in a sentence can be skipped without taking away from the content.

I don't know what you mean by efficiently, but if you mean as many books as possible in a short amount of time, try children's books. You would be surprised at the vocabulary in them. Also try 6th grade reading level books that are about 80 pgs long.

When you study break it into chunks. example: read one paragraph at a time and take a break, and/or take a five minute break every twenty minutes.  This is a fool proof plan I know from experience.

What somebody told me and it seems to work most of the time is spell banana five times fast. Maybe this will help you.
