Strong reading skills help you keep up with assignments, retain information, and feel more confident in class—especially when studying online or reading digital content. The Reading Rate and Recall section of SmarterMeasure helps you reflect on how efficiently you read and how well you remember what you’ve read.
⏩ Reading Rate
Is your reading speed helping you succeed?
Reading Rate measures how quickly and effectively you process written information. If you read too slowly, it can be hard to keep up. If you read too quickly, you may miss key details.
Try this:
📘 Build Your Vocabulary Toolkit – Strengthen your vocabulary to improve both reading speed and comprehension.If you’re struggling, use a visual guide, build vocabulary, and read in focused bursts.
If you're doing well, maintain your momentum, challenge yourself, and track your patterns.
💡 Tip: Adjust your pace based on the task—some readings need more time, others just a scan.
🧠 Reading Recall
Do you remember what you read—especially on a screen?
Reading Recall measures how well you retain and apply information from digital text. It’s not just about finishing a reading—it’s about remembering key ideas when it matters most.
Try this:
✍️ Best Practices for Taking Notes – Learn proven strategies for organizing and reviewing what you read.
🗒️ Note-Taking Template – Use this tool to structure your reading notes and boost your long-term memory.If you’re struggling, try breaking readings into chunks, using highlighting tools, or summarizing aloud.
If you're doing well, refine your strategies, experiment with digital tools, and share your methods with classmates.
💡 Tip: The more actively you engage with a reading, the more you’ll remember. Reading is input—note-taking is transformation.
🎯 Turning Reflection into Action
After you complete the Reading Rate and Recall section:
👀 Notice where your reading habits help you—speed, memory, or both. How can you apply this in more classes?
🚧 Identify a reading challenge. Are you rushing? Forgetting details? What’s one strategy you can try next time?
📚 Set a reading goal: Improve comprehension, increase your pace, or use one new technique this week.
These skills make reading a tool—not a hurdle.
📌 Remember:
SmarterMeasure isn’t about being a “fast” reader—it’s about being an effective one. Use your Reading Rate & Recall results to:
✅ Learn strategies that match how you read
