Research suggests that 250 words per minute is the target reading speed for fluent second language reading. Reading for Speed and Fluency is a four-book series specifically targeted at developing reading speed and fluency. Ideal for individual or classroom use, the passages are thematically arranged to enable learners to progress through texts within a specific grouping to build on content and vocabulary. Vocabulary is strictly controlled to provide learners practice in reading at an accelerated pace without interference from unfamiliar vocabulary.
Key features include:

- Preview activities provide exposure to vocabulary and content

- Multiple-choice questions enable students to self-monitor comprehension

- Progress charts to graphically record personal reading speed development

- Reading passages throughout each level are of similar length and difficulty

- Photos to help students relate to the content

- Free downloadable supplemental audio recordings
