Why take the challenge?

Illumine’s Speed Reading Challenge allows you to check your own reading speed. Your results are then compared to a sample of over 3,000 individuals who measured their reading speed at the beginning of illumine’s Effective Speed Reading course.

By accepting this challenge you will be contributing to the UK’s largest survey of the nation’s reading speeds. You will be able to get updates on the results of this survey by visiting the Illumine website.
