This evaluation is done at individual , ie, student by student and necessarily need a watch with stopwatch (now appearing on mobile phones) and a text where the number of words are entered.
To know the exact amount of words do the following: Place the text is going to be read in Word (Microsoft), give a click on FILE and scroll down to PROPERTIES, STATISTICS and then find the exact number of words is reading. Check
reading time from start to finish and get the speed reading through the following operation: Divide
the number of words between text reading time in seconds and become finally multiply by 60 and nothing else. The result is that student reading speed.
I will give you an example:
The text we read is 407 words (check, please):
"I've always been distracted, it is night and nor had I realized what time it is, or what day is it and when is my birthday," said the dwarf.
"I know" said the dwarf-always forget even your name, but the good thing is that you are the kindest man in the world. I do not know if it's for your amusement or because you have the heart of great men that knows no hatred or resentment.
"No big deal," said the dwarf, "of course I know that my name is ... is ... ah ... I know ... my name is Fortunato Massi Thomas Silva. It is not that hard, just a matter of remembering the first and the others are appearing alone. Also, I'm not as good as you paint me, the other day, I felt envy at seeing a child grow.
The tiny woman looked at him tenderly, seemed to like him in these situations where he was apparently a tough and cruel.
They met at an Italian circus nine years ago and since then, they were not separated even for one day. Both are wanted with a love so pure, innocent and almost childish. She loved him dearly and he loved her while never forgetting to call her by name.
One Sunday, many people had gone to the circus, and the boy doing his usual act: walking on tightrope to five meters high. He seemed distracted, preoccupied, it seemed that this was not the day that he wanted to be.
When there was very little to complete his act, he lost his balance and fell violently. There was a brief silence that ignited hundreds of voices screaming in despair.
The boy, lying face down, mentally counted to twenty and rose as if he had been expelled from a cannon, walked toward the center of the stage and greeted the crowd to wake up the deception. They recalled that the dwarves, they always do stuff like that.
The man had fallen on a foam mattress, especially hidden in the ground, which gave an end to his great performance. They applauded him until he disappeared behind the huge red curtain, dotted with stars.
His companion, as usual, was waiting in the small blue tent and almost ready for the next number in the cage of lions in Africa. Saw him coming and gave the tender smile of the world.
(407 words)
Suppose we have four students:
Student A: 56 seconds
Student B: 1 minute and 12 seconds (equivalent to 72 seconds )
Students C: 1 minute and 48 seconds (equivalent to 108 seconds)
Student D: 2 minutes and 23 seconds (equivalent to 143 seconds)
We operate:
Student A: 407 / 56 x 60 = 436 ppm (words per minute)
Student B: 407/72 x 60 = 339 ppm
Student C: 407/108 x 60 = 226 ppm
Student D : 407/143 x 60 = 171 ppm
Assessment Test All speed reading should be accompanied by proof of understanding (The same text) with a minimum of five questions and to evaluate the different processes of reading and for that we could apply the taxonomy of Barret (attaches great importance to the types of questions that the assessment be comprehensive in nature)
I give an example of the questions in the taxonomy of Barret and for that I can think of this short story.
"A boy walked happily down the sidewalk of the street, but he watched from afar his bright home his cheerful countenance changed. His steps were slow and did not know how I would explain the zero eight he had obtained in the test reading comprehension. He recalled that in previous tests had also come out with low grades in mathematics but was the highest note of the class: 20 ".
literal question
1. The child changed the face ...
........................... 2. Write V for true or F for false in sentences according to the text:
a) The child at any time to return home thought (.........)
b) was a child who was wrong in all courses (.........)
QUESTIONS OF REORGANIZATION
1. Use your own words and two lines attempts to summarize the text read.
2. Match the items on the right with the left drawing a line.
good grades .................... not known
bad grades ....................
arithmetic regular notes ................... verbal reasoning
QUESTIONS OF UNDERSTANDING INFERENCE
1. What do you think happened to the child when he got home?
2. Why do you think that this child had problems in comprehension tests?
DEPTH ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
1. According to the story we have read, you think it is right that students will always stand out and have good grades in all courses. Explain it as your point of view.
2. If you were in the same case of the student, in what way would face this fact?
ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS 1. Know a case similar to that we have read. Write briefly.
2. Think that this story teaches us something important; use your own words and explain it.
I hope I can help with anything
Thanks for reading
