oh no

I read very slowly at the computer. And if not reading outloud or mumbling, then it's like i'm reading at a computer as well. I am an average reader with about 82% retention. I really have to improve :oops:

I am a average reader: 272WPM with 73% efficiency. I tried a lot to do visual reading but that lacks efficiency.

Any good input to increase upto 400WPM? Good site. Thanks
