How he goes through books so quickly.

Check out this fun little reading speed test. My score on the War and Peace selection wasn’t very impressive. It is difficult for me to read without any context or involvement in the story or topic. It drives me crazy not to read every word or understand what I’m reading. Apparently the average adult reads 300 words per minute. I wasn’t much above that.
I had Levi try the Alice in Wonderland selection. He scored 693 words per minute with all 3 questions correct! Good grief! He scored even higher on the Wizard of Oz selection, but he missed one of the questions so I told him it didn’t count. {grin} At least our scores were a little closer on the War and Peace selection.
Luke surprised me by scoring 426 on the Alice in Wonderland selection! I won’t comment on Leif’s scores as he SPEED reads, but then has trouble answering the questions. Ha!
Do you read every single word? Do you re-read passages if you feel you aren’t understanding what is happening in a book? Or do you skim and catch the highlights?
