Note: Repeat previous week’s subjects until you are ready for this day. Only proceed to this day’s exercises when you are sure you are ready.
Today is results day! It’s going to be fun and you will be so excited with your new skills. Begin the day’s session with the imagery and eye exercises. Breath several deep slow sighs.
Repeat the testing procedure you did on day 1 of week 1 with books you brought home yesterday.
Testing
An adequate reading test may be performed in about 10 - 15 minutes.
Setup:
1. Person being tested has a 6th grade reading level novel of sufficient length to be tested for 10 minutes (at light-speed, this may need to be at least 300 pages)
2. There is adequate lighting and ventilation so the person is comfortable
3. The tester has a stopwatch or second hand on a watch
Test procedure:
1. At the “go” signal, the reader starts and the timer starts the clock
2. Continue reading for 10 minutes or more
3. When time is up, timer states, “stop reading”
4. Mark the final page and the line where reading stopped (if the line stopped on is half or more of a page, the whole page may be counted as read - less than half don’t count)
5. Complete the exercise on the following page to determine reading speed:
Testing Comprehension:
To test comprehension, open the books to a place the person has read and invent questions that illustrate their comprehension of the material. Keep it simple: if you ask 10 questions and they answer 8 of them correctly, they have 80% comprehension.
