FREE online courses on Improve Your Reading Speed - Calculating Words Per
Minute
Using the information below, determine your reading speed
(WPM)
For example you are reading a book with with apprx. 237 words
per page and you have read 14 pages in 10 minutes.
Multiply the number of pages by the number of words per page:
14 x 237 = 3,318
words
Divide the total number of words by the reading time:
3,318 / 10 = 332
WPM
Your reading speed = 345 WPM
The overall WPM value is effected by round-off error.
However, the previous method (above) provides a good approximation of one's
reading speed (Words Per
Minute).
