This article describes the experiment investigating the issue of reading efficiency in blended learning context. The study aimed to find out whether reading efficiency is higher when reading from a printed material or from a computer screen and if the effectiveness of reading depends on the attitude towards a text presentation format. The research aimed to inform the teachers that the blended component introduced into the learning English not only does not impede the learning process but improves it by influencing the attitude. The effectiveness of reading was measured in the terms of recall and comprehension of the texts presented in two different modes. The findings show that there is no significant difference as far as recall results are concerned when two delivery modes are applied though the experiment participants obtain higher comprehension results while they deal with electronic texts. The attitude study showed that the participants seemingly born as digital natives prefer reading from a printed material to reading from a computer screen.

Reading constitutes for one of the most important activities, both in work and in education. There are three major components to reading: comprehension, decoding and reading speed. The relationship between comprehension and reading speed is a tradeoff; after reaching a certain peak one has to decrease for the other to increase. The knowledge of how fast an average person reads can be a useful tool in planning any activity that requires the use of text, such as a language course. To date Polish linguistics lacks relevant research on the speed of reading with comprehension. The following paper presents part of the doctoral project that aims to answer the questions “How fast and with what level of understanding do Poles read?” The paper sums up two research studies which examined the reading speed and comprehension in Polish of students in the final year of high school and in grade 8 of Polish primary school. Both groups read a non-specific text of medium-difficulty about Sherlock Holmes and completed a 9-item comprehension test. The high school students on average scored 77% on the comprehension test with an average reading speed of 173 words per minute (wpm). On the same text, primary school students scored 66% and read at 156 wpm.
