Reading speed is a diagnostic, not a band score. A fast pass with weak comprehension is less useful than a slightly slower pass that identifies paragraph purpose, names, numbers and contrast words accurately.
How to use this tool well
- Use a text with a known word count.
- Read once without stopping the timer.
- Answer comprehension questions immediately.
- Track speed and accuracy together.
