Short answer

Slow reading is best approached by first measuring the current level, then using short, repeated practice sessions with comprehension checks.

Start with a baseline

Before changing technique, measure both speed and comprehension on a short text.

A single result is not a label; it is a starting point for practice.

Keep sessions small

Short daily sessions are easier to repeat and compare.

Okumatik helps readers track whether practice is improving speed, comprehension or both.
