3x FASTER: Speed Reading Bootcamp 26-Days

Proyecto de clase práctica

This course is built for real, measurable results, because what gets measured gets managed! Your project is simple but powerful: track your daily reading speed to see how much you improve as you apply each new speed reading technique. This way you will be able to see in real time how the techniques you are learning are affecting the speed of your reading. You can share this spreadsheet with friends to see how you compare to each other.

Here’s What to Do:

1. Download the spreadsheet: "Daily Reading Tracker.xlsx" (linked below).

2. After each lesson, set a timer for 5 minutes and read using the technique you just learned.

3. Use the steps below to calculate your Words Per Minute (WPM).

4. Enter your WPM into the spreadsheet each day.

5. Watch your speed increase as you build momentum!

6. Share your spreadsheet in the Project Gallery to inspire others (and compare progress with friends!).

Calculating Word Per Minute:

To measure your starting point, follow these simple steps:

1. Choose a novel and mark your starting point.
   
   
2. Set a timer for 5 minutes and start reading.
   
   
3. Mark the line where you stop.
   
   
4. Now we must Calculate your Words Per Minute (WPM): To do this:
   
   

• Count the number of words in 3 lines, divide by 3 = average words per line.
  
  
• Next Count how many lines you read in 5 minutes.
  
  
• Multiply lines × average words per line.
  
  
• Then divide by 5 to get your WPM.
  
  

Example:

• You read 150 lines in 5 minutes

• Average: 10 words per line

• → 150 × 10 = 1,500 words

• → 1,500 ÷ 5 minutes = 300 WPM

Once you’ve tracked your speed across several days, upload your spreadsheet to the Project Gallery. It’s a great way to:

• Show your improvement

• Stay motivated

• Learn alongside other students
