How to determine reading speed
To determine your current reading speed, take your practice book (which should lay flat
when open on a table) and count the number of words in 5 lines. Divide this number of
words by 5, and you have your average number of words-per-line.
Example: 62 words/5 lines = 12.4 ' round to 12 words-per-line
Next, count the number of text lines on 5 pages and divide by 5 to arrive at the
average number of lines per page. Multiply this by average number of words-per-line, and
you have your average number of words per page.
Example: 154 lines/5 pages = 30.8 ' round to 31 lines per page x 12 words-per-line =
372 words per page
Mark your first line and read with a timer for 1 minute exactly-do not read faster than
normal, and read for comprehension. After exactly one minute, multiply the number of lines
by your average words-per-line to determine your current words-per-minute (wpm) rate.
