Vitesses Moyennes

Adulte moyen : 200-250 mots/minute. Lecteur rapide : 300-400. Lecture technique : 100-150. Un livre de 300 pages (~75 000 mots) à 250 mpm : 5 heures. Un article de 2 000 mots : 8 minutes. La vitesse varie de 50% selon le type de contenu — la fiction légère se lit beaucoup plus vite qu'un texte technique.

Lire Plus Vite

Éliminez la subvocalisation. Utilisez votre doigt comme guide visuel. Lisez par blocs de mots. Avec de la pratique, la plupart peuvent atteindre 400-500 mpm sans sacrifier significativement la compréhension.
