However, as I mentioned in my post, if it takes a person too long to verbalize the words (reading speeds of under 100 wpm), they may forget the information before they get to the end of the sentence.jmarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626636380392609306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-47564066908876137192012-04-26T09:59:31.778-04:002012-04-26T09:59:31.778-04:00This author said that it really depends on what yo...This author said that it really depends on what your goals are. If you are aiming for reading comprehension, the author said most people will not retain details above 400 wpm. <br /><br />Dean - the article did not go into details on that point, but it did say that readers whose native language uses a different script may have difficulties differentiating between English letters. For example, Thai speakers have a hard time recognizing the letters b, d, g and p, and until they attain a higher level of fluency, this causes them to spend more time reading words that contain those letters.jmarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626636380392609306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-12692068643763378822012-04-26T09:57:51.757-04:002012-04-26T09:57:51.757-04:00Personally, I can read a lot more faster in my loc...Personally, I can read a lot more faster in my local language than english.

Furthermore, is there a difference between the speeds at which you can read in different languages - depending on the structure of that language?Dean Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109435361397466945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-40357026316398384392012-04-25T14:56:04.029-04:002012-04-25T14:56:04.029-04:00Did the research indicate an optimum speed of read...Did the research indicate an optimum speed of reading? Was there a level at which comprehension did not improve with faster speed? If so, was there any improvement in learning the foreign language?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
