This happens to me to, bro. The way out is to think of the whole sentences and not particular words because then it becomes a slippery slope and you end up repeating the same letter like a retard and retrograding to kindergarten.

yeah i was worried yesterday because i did a puzzle where you had to look for the singular use of the letter "f" in a paragraph and it destroyed my ability to read at 1200wpm

thankfully i distracted myself (consuming content in another language seemed to help) and the next day i was back to Adult status and no longer feeling like a literal infant

Anybody who brags about reading above 1000wpm probably has a sub-normal level of comprehension. Cry out in anguish at the truth, but it will consume you all the same.

The top competitors at the World Championship Speed Reading Competition all average around the 1000-2000wpm mark, with a typical comprehension of around 50%. >>16848545
If retards like this are telling the truth, and suggesting they have a very high level of comprehension, then they should be competing. I find it hard to believe their claims are genuine, however.

I just took a short series of online reading tests. My first attempt gave me a score of 300 wpm with a 50% comprehension rate, but after 4 more tests I had managed to score 680 wpm with a 100% retention rate. Doesn't seem that difficult to improve your reading rate, you just have to focus on reading faster, and quiz yourself after every paragraph to keep information retention up. If I make it a fun challenge, I find I can focus on reading better. Also, if you have ADHD like most posters on this board, just go get an adderall scrip already.
