You can take a speed reading test for free online. Why? Finally, a speed reading computer program is probably the most efficient way to achieve top reading levels. Computers offer unique exercises to boost reading efficiency through interactivity, text animation and pacing. Higher reading skills obtained with a computer screen are totally transferable to reading from paper. Unfortunately the inverse way does not work so well. Speed reading software delivers enjoyable and fast paced training, thus giving the consistent practice necessary to break lifelong slow reading habits. This is the task that seminars and speed reading books usually leave up to the reader.
Another site also tests your speed and comprehension. A GREAT reading improvement course will teach you how to increase the speed at which your eyes move across the print, without skipping words, while improving your understanding (comprehension) of what you are reading AND your memory (recall) of what you have read.
Your vocabulary will naturally improve with your reading speed. Here's how to increase your vocabulary:
STEP 1: Read books, magazines, poems, plays, stories and more. The more language you're exposed to, the more new words you'll learn. STEP 2: Make it a habit to find a new word every day. Look in the dictionary, sign up for "A Word a Day" (see dictionary.com) or make swapping new words a game with a workmate or fellow student. STEP 3: Speak to people. You'll be exposed to an amazing range of cultural influences and occupations, all of which will introduce you to new words. STEP 4: Write down words you don't know. Keep a pad in your briefcase or purse just for that purpose. STEP 5: Look up the words in a dictionary so you'll understand what they mean, how they're spelled and their various usages. This will also help you remember the words. STEP 6: Make flashcards of the words and go through them regularly. STEP 7: Create or play word games. Scrabble and Mad Libs, for example, are great ways to reinforce new vocabulary words.

Yes... a complicated literature you can read is called "playboy" and it is inspirational and extravagant and you will get quite a "kick" out of learning once more like in the 1st grade
