Do you think you can read faster than a native English speaker? Take our Speed Reading Challenge with Steve Jobs' Stanford Commencement Address.

Read one word at a time, follow the red letter, and discover your pace. Start slow or turn up the speed. How far can you go?

⚡ TRY THE INTERACTIVE SPEED TEST
Continue the challenge in the English Speeches Library:
https://library.englishspeecheschannel.com/speech/steve-jobs-stay-hungry-stay-foolish

Open the speech and select "Speed" to try the interactive reading tool. Choose your pace and practise with the text. You can also explore the transcript, vocabulary, shadowing, and typing activities on the same page.

📖 HOW THIS CHALLENGE WORKS
• Keep your eyes near the red letter as each word appears.
• Start with YouTube's playback speed set to Normal.
• Too easy? Try 1.25x, 1.5x, or 2x.
• Too fast? Lower the playback speed to match your level.

To adjust it, open Settings → Playback speed in the YouTube player.
The reading section starts at a base pace of 200 words per minute, with extra pauses for punctuation. After the spoken introduction, the speech excerpt is silent so you can focus on reading.

💬 WHAT SPEED DID YOU REACH?
Leave your playback speed in the comments and tell us which speaker you want to read next.

🎙️ ABOUT THE SPEECH
Steve Jobs delivered this Commencement Address at Stanford University on June 12, 2005. In this third story he talks about death, time, and having the courage to follow your heart, and he closes with the words that became his sign-off: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish."

This reading challenge features a 715-word excerpt of the address. It is not the complete speech. Some paragraphs between the opening and the sign-off are omitted, and the wording follows the prepared text published by Stanford University.
