Mistakes
Words Per Minute
Listen as your teacher reads part of a story aloud to you. Discuss the story and talk about
what you liked best about it. Then read the story as fast as you can for one minute, making
as few mistakes as possible. Your teacher will stop you after ONE MINUTE. At the
end, your teacher will let you count the words you read and will put a dot on the line or
space showing how many words you read. Your teacher will put an X in the same column
to show the number of mistakes you made. Practice reading it whenever you can. Then,
read it for another ONE MINUTE with your teacher! Do this 7 times or until you read 64
words perfectly in one minute! Then, begin at a different place in the book for your next
REPEATED READING. Each time, you will find that you are getting faster and more
accurate as you read! That is called FLUENCY!

Marking Speed:

Marking Mistakes:
