One Minute Reading Test (Rev) - Dyslexia International

ONE MINUTE READING TEST Instructions to child

"Read the words for me across the page out loud. When you finish a line, go down to the next one. Read carefully but as quickly as you can. I'll stop you in a minute. Off you go."

Score

Number of words read correctly in one minute.

Norms

The norms, though of unknown provenance, are for English speaking children and offer "reading age" equivalents for reading speeds ranging from 2 to 0.5 seconds per word. These 158 words are all of one syllable and, not being connected in sentences, impose a strategy of one fixation per word. Though artificial, this provides a useful standard format for measurement purposes. See, also, the norms appended for university students based on data collected by Michael Lock, consulting psychologist, and contributed by him to the Dyslexia Institute Psychologists e-group. They remain unpublished.
