Before experimenting with a different pace, it helps to notice how you read now. Readings gives you a full passage to work through in your own time, followed by questions about its meaning. There is no moving display setting the pace for you. Use the reader controls to make the text comfortable, then read for the main point, the details that support it and the connections between them. You can return to an earlier sentence when that helps you understand a later one. Rechecking a point is a useful part of reading. When you are ready, answer the questions. They ask you to do more than recognize an isolated fact: follow an explanation, notice a condition or choose what the passage supports. Treat your answers as feedback on this reading experience and identify any point that deserves another look. The everyday aim is reading you can use after the page is closed: explaining a chapter in a seminar, understanding a report or acting on instructions. Your pace and understanding provide a starting point for exploring the other exercises. Keep both in view as you decide which challenge to try next.
