I have reached a point in my life where my reading speed is a problem. I can hardly skim through my textbooks in the time that it takes most people to read all the information we need to understand. Recently I have started trying to get into reading, I started slowly by reading graphic novels but have now moved into reading The Fellowship of the Rings.

Two of my friends did a test and found that where they could fully read a page and comprehend it in about a minute and some change, it took me 2 minutes and 25 seconds to read it.

I just want to get better at reading, so that I can enjoy reading more, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

    Graphic novels and Lotr are a good plan. Read what makes you happy. The happier it make you, the more you will read. The more you read, the more practice you will get. More practice will make you faster and better.

    This is dramatic, especially between friends, but it’s not really a crippling disability. Your reading speed is not something you need to feel self-conscious about.
