Are you a slow or fast reader?

<p>Apparently it's better to be a slow reader</p>

<p>I can vouch for this.</p>

<p>I once congratulated myself for reading 1984 in a single day!</p>

<p>But man...I made a friggin 83 on the test!</p>

<p>Apparently I missed some information in the book. I reread it and it was like reading 1984 for the first time.</p>

<p>It took me 365.24 days to get through 1984. Never again.</p>

<p>i love that book, and I am slow :(</p>

<p>I can read quickly, but if I want to actually ABSORB information, I have to read it twice.</p>

<p>Same here jd989898. For school, I have to read most stuff twice, but I can get through books that I’m just reading for fun fairly quickly.</p>

<p>i am a slowww reader :frowning: i get distracted too easily.</p>

<p>I read medium on purpose, if I catch myself reading too fast I have to reread.</p>

<p>I have the ability to read really fast, though the words just tend to blur together in my head and I don’t absorb it. So I have to make sure to read every single word in a sentence, and even so, I read at a medium pace.</p>

<p>Very slow reader.</p>

<p>I can skim very fast with mediocre accuracy if necessary, but I generally read at my natural (slow) pace and just absorb.</p>

<p>Fast for fun reading
Mediumish if I actually have to concentrate. If I read stuff I have to concentrate too quickly, I don’t absorb it and have to reread it again ( this happened a lot in ap world history lol)</p>

<p>I read at a moderate to slow pace. If I’m having a good day, I can absorb everything while reading at a decently fast pace. I prefer reading slower, though.</p>

<p>I can read fast, but I need to read slow to fully understand what I’m reading.</p>

<p>Extremely slow reader. This is one of the things I would like to change as I spend many unnecessary hours reading or annotating when it could be done quicker.</p>

<p>I can read fast, but I typically reserve reading fast for leisurely reading. If I have to read a book for some English test or whatever, I have to read slowly.</p>

<p>For school, I read slow.
But for my own reading, I can read reallllly quickly. This is actually kinda embarassing to admit but I haven’t been feeling well so i just spent the last 3 days at home and read 13 books… hahah major nerd</p>

<p>I’m moderately fast. Also, it depends on the book I’m reading. If I’m reading modern fiction, I can read really fast. But, when I’m reading non-fiction I’m a little bit slower.</p>

<p>For fun books, I read pretty fast (3 pages / minute).
For school books, I go at a medium pace so I can absorb everything.</p>

<p>I’m generally a slow reader for both leisure and class readings. But, if the book is simplistic, I can fly through it.</p>

<p>Very slow.</p>

<p>Super super fast.
I remember reading “Holes” in less than two hours.</p>

<p>I have two types of reading; leisurely enjoyment ( I read and savour the plot), or just skimming, fly-by reading. I usually spend around a minute per page, so a whole book is only a matter of hours.</p>

<p>The more you read, the faster you can read. And you also know when to slow down and anticipate something unexpected… or interesting.</p>
