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).
Third-grade students = 150 words per minute (wpm) Eight grade students = 250; Average college student = 450; Average âhigh level execâ = 575; Average college professor = 675; Speed readers = 1,500; World speed reading champion = 4,700; Average adult: 300 wpm To put those rates in meaningful context, I applied them to the kind of serious reading regimen favored by the super-successful set. Iâm sad to report that, for most of us, the words are winning.
