If top readers read at speeds of above 1000 words per minute
(wpm) with nearly 85% comprehension, they only represent 1%
of readers. Average readers are the majority and only reach
around 200 wpm with a typical comprehension of 60%. This seems
surprising since most readers, actively reading work documents,
newspapers, magazines, books or the contents of a computer
display are practicing daily for at least one hour. With such
an intense training everyone should be close to top performances.
Unfortunately, this is far from the real situation. The average
reader is five times slower than the good reader. Things are
even worse if we consider reading efficiency as well as speed.
Reading efficiency is reading speed weighted by comprehension
rate and it amounts to 200 x 60% or 120 efficient words per
minute (ewpm) for the average reader and to 1000 x 85% or
850 ewpm for top readers. Thus, an efficiency ratio of seven
divides these two categories.
