Are You a Speed Reader? by Julie Arduini
June 27, 2012 5 Comments
Thanks to a right broken wrist, I’m behind on writing goals. Although my fall could have been worse, I’m thankful I can still Kindle read with ease.
My second of three fiberglass casts. My daughter bedazzled it.
I recently found a fun link through Facebook that sent me to Staples. They have a technology game of sorts that tests the speed you read. Since childhood, people teased me for reading so fast. So, I put myself to the test.
Here’s the link. Take the test and leave a comment regarding how you did. I received 688 wpm.
Happy reading!

Fun test, Julie! Thanks for sharing. I always thought I was the slowest reader in the world, but evidently I’m a bit faster than the national average. (I think they said that to make me feel good about getting the questions right.)
This test gave me the confidence to stop apologizing for going through books almost as fast as I go through chocolate, LOL.
PS – I pushed the “Post” button too soon! I hope your wrist heals remarkably fast. Last year I broke my ankle due to a fall, too. So I know this too, shall pass . . .
Thanks, Maureen. I’m thankful that I’ve cleared the need for surgery, but I’m anxious to be done with the casts and back to writing at the speed I’m used to. I also want the house back to how I like it.
What an awesome test. Thanks for sharing this–and praying for a quick recovery. I broke my foot when I fell down the stairs a couple of years ago. I can’t tell you how stairs make me nervous now!
