How to play paced reading sprint

Paced reading sprint is the game version of guided pace training. A highlight moves through the passage at your target WPM; your job is to stay with it without racing or lagging. Steady rhythm is what separates usable speed from frantic skimming. Play short sprints, then confirm progress on the official reading speed test. For readers who want consistent WPM rather than stop-start pacing.
