Regular reading practice increases an adult's reading speed.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that regular reading practice increases an adult's reading speed?

Unclear. Several placed sources point the same way but only in part: repeated reading raised fluency rates in three middle school students, speed-reading training raised reading speed in 30 German undergraduates, and other items link regular reading to vocabulary, comprehension or general English skills rather than to adult reading speed. No retrieved item directly measures whether regular reading practice increases an adult's reading speed.
