Words per minute

great feeling. When showing your talents you always want to show your skills as good as possible. I believe everyone has a talent that they have practiced to master or they were good at it since the first day one. I have a talent that I was horrible at when I started at, But then I gave it my best to improve and I succeeded more than I thought I would, I has passed the typing speed I thought I would never get. My goal when I was a little kid was to be a fast typist. When I got to 7th grade, the first class I chose was computer applications because typing looked fun. I was good at following the instructions, but I was very slow at typing. At the beginning of the year there were many students racing and were already around the 30 words per minute (wpm) mark, while my maximum typing speed at the time was 14 wpm. I was usually the student that finished all his assignments last due to very slow typing speed. Back at 7th grade I wanted speed everything, I ran fast during the mile because I liked going fast, I liked finishing my homework fast. And I liked getting to my house fast after school. I still have the habit of walking fast home anyway. So, when I couldn’t type fast and finish my assignments I was embarrassed and ashamed of myself so I decided to practice at home as much as I could. During the computer applications class one of the faster students asked me for a pen because he forgot his, I let him borrow mine, then he lost it. I was and still am a loner, but…

score was calculated. He was given one minute to complete each passage. I read the directions to Shevaun and initiate to him when it was time to start reading. If he is unable to pronounce a word in three seconds, I will tell him the word, and an error will be scored. I used familiar marking to indicate whether he self-corrects or had…

Reading can make many long term changes to many parts of the brain. Also, reading can perfect a reader's concentration. Lastly, reading for 20 minutes per day can improve test scores. According to “Reading a Novel Changes Your Brain” by Julia Ryan, scientists have proven that reading makes many long term changes to many parts of the brain. Many studies focus on the brain activity while a person is reading, however, a new study shows that it may make long term changes to the brain. The new study…

Participant and Setting The participant was a six-year-old, first grade female named Mary. Mary did not have any diagnosed disabilities. She attended a private school Monday thru Friday for an average of 35 hours per week. While at school, Mary participated in an in-school tutoring program for students identified by their teacher as struggling readers. The in-school tutoring occurred twice a week for one hour each day. In addition, Mary’s parents paid for her to go to private tutoring for…

Since we are starting at the end of fourth grade level Austin should be able to read 140 words per minute and at the end fifth grade be up to 160 words per minute. Obviously that would be too high of an expectation at the end of fifth grade to go up by 60 words per minute. I would call it a therapeutic succeed if Austin were at least at 140 words per minute by the end of fifth grade, which would only make him one year behind. I would call it an experimental success if Austin reached at least…

they will have one minutes to brainstorm on the topic. And when the minutes is up, they will stop…

After identifying Nealy’s level of word identification, she was assessed for her oral reading ability. The format of the assessment worked like this: Nealy was first given a set of “Concept Questions,” to help activate her prior knowledge. Next, she was asked to make a prediction about the story. Third, she read the entire story. Fourth, she was asked to retell the story. Fifth, she was asked comprehension questions. There were two different types of comprehension questions: explicit and…

As a group we set his goal using the aim line method. His median baseline reading fluency rate for CBA administered to monitor progress was 84 CRW per minute. An ambitious goal of .8 words improvement per week was chosen instead of the realistic weekly goal of .5 words improvement per week due to the faith in George Mikan that the RTI team had. We projected that the end of 12 weeks intervention period that George might be able to read 95 CRW per minute. It would appear that if the RTI team had…

The target behavior is _______smoking________, which I am attempting to: a) decrease b) increase (circle one) 2. How are you measuring the behavior? The behavior is being measured by how many cigarettes she smokes per day. 3. During baseline, the behavior occurred an average of how many times in what time period (e.g., 5 times per day)? During baseline the behavior occurred an average of 12 to 17 times per day. 4. Over the last week, how many times does the behavior occur, on the…

the tab that says test, and choose story number 32 (each participant will type the same story). Have each participant type the story twice for one minute each time. Copy down the number of words per minute each participant types. Find the mean words per minute of pianists and non-pianists. The Independent variable in the experiment was if the person could play piano or not. The Dependent variable was the speed of typing. The control group was non-pianists. The Experimental group was pianists.…
