	? 
	I read some where around 1200 silently, and more like 150 aloud. I
must admit my schooling did not teach me to read like this, but rather my
discover when learning to teach children to read I discovered just how slow
of a reader I was in Braille and worked my but off to get faster. I read some
kind of Braille every day and if I don't if I'm sick or something I see my
fluency drop.

You are EXACTLY correct James. By 12th grade our kids need to be reading
250-300+ and they do if you expect it and teach to that degree.

	Hi everyone,

	I don't buy the whole 120 wpm as a standard for what a blind adult
reads.  The average sighted college student reads at between 250 and 350 wpm.
Lots of factors go in to how fast a person reads, but if you set an
expectation of a person reading at 120 wpm, that's what you'll get.  If you
set it at 250 or 350wpm, then you'll probably get that.  You've got to set
and keep high expectations; people live up to the expectations set for them. 

	Anyway, that's my two cents worth. 

	James K

	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
