Gentlemen,
Time your current reading speed.
It is important to find out how fast you read now so that you can track your improvement through subsequent timings. Not only will timing help you to tell if you're improving, but it will also keep you motivated.
• You can break out a book and a stopwatch and either time how long it takes you to read a certain number of words on a page or find out how many words you read in a given amount of time.
• An easier way to time yourself is to take an online reading speed test. http://www.readingsoft.com/
• Many of these have reading comprehension tests, as well, so you can see how well you're understanding what you're reading.
• Regardless of how you decide to time yourself, be sure to read at your normal speed during the timing, and time yourself on a few different pages - the average of your times should approximate your average reading speed.
