Today’s topic: Reading texts
We read every day. Texts can be placed in many different styles. Some texts are short; other texts are long. Sometimes texts are in one column; sometimes texts are in many columns.

Today’s question:
Does the number of columns affect our reading speed?
Yes! We read faster when there are 100-letter space per line. Researchers measured the reading speed of people. Researchers asked what sort of printing style people preferred reading.

This is what they found:
People read faster when they see a single column with 100-letter space per line. People prefer reading line length of 45- to 70- letter space with multiple columns.

Today’s advice
When it comes to reading, find something that is pleasant to your eyes.
