The document outlines the 11 step process for conducting a speed reading quiz in the classroom. Students are given a reading passage and graph to record their words per minute and quiz scores. The teacher writes timing cues on the board and erases them as time passes. Students consult the reading conversion table to calculate their speed after finishing and self-grade their comprehension quizzes to assess their understanding of the passage. With practice, the entire routine takes less than 10 minutes.

1. To review the process, read the first few pages of Paul Nation's Speed Reading course.

Here are the steps:
1) Hand out a copy of quiz face-down to all students. Hand out student graph.
2) Students record the quiz number and the date on the graph.
3) Teacher writes times on the board (1:00, 1:10, . . . 6:00).
4) Start clock and students start to read.
5) Teacher takes time and erases the time from the board as time passes.
6) When students finish reading, they look up at the next time not erased from the board and they
remember that time.
7) Students do not wait for everyone to finish. Students should hand in their reading and pick up the quiz
and small piece of scrap paper.
8) Students consult the words-per-minute conversion table and record their WPM on the graph.
9) Students should record answers to quiz on the separate piece of scrap paper.
10) Students hand in quiz and pick up answer key.
11) Students self-grade. Students write their score on their graph.
It may take a few days to get this down as a routine, but once a routine, the entire process would be
under 10 minutes and the teacher only has to take time and erase times.
Don't allow students to go back and look at the reading. There is no need to go over the correct
responses. That way, the students won't remember their answers nor the options and you can therefore
re-use the same reading at an earlier time in the future, i.e. reduce the practice effect.
