Overview

Recognizing written words and processing a quick temporal sequence of stimuli are two key components of the early sensory aspect of reading that are captured by reading speed. Reading speed, as opposed to mere word recognition, is more illuminating of a reader's reading abilities. Eye movements and reading speed are tightly correlated. Eye movements occur at a consistent rate of roughly four per second. Shorter eye movements are related to slower reading. The time per fixation grows as reading slows down due to difficulty understanding the text's meaning. Three reading processes-word shape, sentence context, and letter-by-letter decoding-each provide a unique contribution to reading speed.
