Does the reading of the speedometer of a car show the speed or velocity of the car?
The speed of the car. The speed-o-meter only shows a magnitude ( or a number ) and to tell the velocity of a car it would have to give that speed some direction. Since the speedometer assigns no direction to the car, the number assigned as the speed of the car cannot be the velocity of the car.
What is used to measure the speed of a moving body?

Reading speed is commonly measured as words per minute (wpm). This is the number of words absorbed by the eyes and understood by the brain per minute. It is calculated by reading a known quantity of words over a timed period. Then divide that quantity of words by the time it took to read them. This is then one's reading speed in words per minute.
