Handwriting Speeds Handwriting Speeds for Copying Tasks Studies compiled by Amundson (1995) show that copying rates using handwriting at the 1 st grade level are about 5 words per minute (WPM) on average, but by the end of elementary school at the 5 th and 6 th grade level are about 10 to 12 WPM.e found that the average compositional rate of 4 th grade students with learning disabilities using handwriting was 4 to 5 words per minute, while the average handwriting rate of 6 th grade students with learning disabilities during composing was about 9 words per minute (Figure 4).
Answer Wiki. Certainly the results will vary from study to study, depending on the language and many other factors. In a 1998 paper by Keith Rayner, a study is cited, where students were asked to read in their optimum reading rate, to be tested for reading comprehension. The average reading speed was 308 wpm (Words Per Minute). The fastest reader's result was 380 wpm, while the slowest speed was 230 wpm. Of course, there are also various forms of speed reading. Readers in the same study, who were asked to skim the text read at rates around 600-700 wpm.
