Hi Eric:
This is a great question. I spoke to Dr. Sharon Sacks at the California School for the Blind about this topic. Apparently, there are no standards. It is thought that adult fluency is 120 words per minute. This would be a great research project.

Hi Everyone,
Many school districts assess the reading speed & accuracy of students at the beginning & end of their school year. How is reading fluency approached & assessed for blind/VI students? What benchmarks & assessment tools are educators using in the field? How often are reading rate assessments performed? Are therereading rate standards for blind/VI students?
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts & input.
Sincerely,
Eric Vasiliauskas
