article: normal was thought to be 300wpm, meta analysis of new study says it's 238wpm, also speed varies between languages.
Never got tested for reading speed in school like the article says some schools do. That's good for me as I would have failed the 300wpm mark.
Tried speed reading software in high school and college, my normal speed is around 150-200wpm. Even with faster skimming sessions it never got over 450wpm and reverts back to my normal range when not using software. Learned to be okay with it as it seems my comprehension / memory were optimal at my normal range.
