In this study the effect of time dependent and untimed reading on reading comprehension and reading mistakes which occur depending on speed reading are evaluated. For this, reading comprehension questions were asked to the students after they had finished reading aloud. There is a significant difference between the reading comprehension scores of the students who took the time dependent reading aloud and the reading comprehension scores of the students who had untimed reading. In addition to this, students doing the time dependent and untimed reading aloud had some mistakes. Their mistakes are repetition, conceptualizing, pause, haplology (dropping syllables), adding syllables, mixing sounds, adding sounds, breath control, skipping, using the local dialect, misuse of orthographic rules, converting the syllable, using the wrong syllable separation, converting words incorrectly, extention, inability to sound, poor posture, following by hand or pen. The most common mistake of the students' is reputation of the words. It's identified that the students who studied on time dependent reading aloud had twice the word mistakes as the students who studied untimed reading. The significant difference was found in the total error score. The students who studied on time dependent reading aloud had more mistakes in total than the students who didn't study on time dependent reading aloud.
