Calculating your words-per-minute (wpm)
At the end of each passage you see the number of words in
the text (i.e., Practice Reading #1
=
175 words). Divide your time into the number of words in the passage
to get your wpm. For example, if you read Practice Reading #1 in 45 seconds, your wpm equals 233 wpm
(175/. 75 = 233).
Quadrant 1:
You are reading slower than 200 wpm with less than 70% comprehension.
Quadrant 2:
You are reading faster than 200 wpm with less than 70% comprehension.
Quadrant 3:
You are reading slower than 200 wpm with greater than 70% comprehension.
Quadrant 4:
You are reading faster than 200 wpm with greater than 70% comprehension.
