Silent reading rates are supposed to be faster than oral rates. There are norms set for that too...I know the QRI 4 has them. The ranges are wide to allow for students to adjust their rates when they meet challenging texts. Jennifer Maryland In a message dated 7/9/2007 6:03:32 P.M.

However, since most of the reading we do in life is silent, and if fluency needs to be that important, timing a silent read makes great sense. I just don't know how you would differentiate that from testing...especially with the pressure involved.
