Grade 1 - 80 words per minute.

Grade 2 - 115 words per minute.

Grade 3 - 138 words per minute.

Grade 4 - 158 words per minute

Grade 5 - 173 words per minute.

Grade 6 - 185 words per minute.

Grade 7 - 195 words per minute.

Grade 8 - 204 words per minute.

Grade 9 - 214 words per minute.

Grade 10 - 224 words per minute.

Grade 11 - 237 words per minute.

Grade 12 - 250 words per minute.

We achieved the following results over the years:

- Initial testing: 0 - 5% of leaners achieved their learning age;

- One year use of Reading Rocket: 12 - 18% of learners achieved their learning age;

- Two year use of Reading Rocket: 28 - 32% of learners achieved their learning age;

- Three year use of Reading Rocket: 47 - 52% of learners achieved their learning age;

- Four year use of Reading Rocket: 61 - 65% of learners achieved their learning age;

- Five year use of Reading Rocket: 75 - 78% of learners achieved their learning age;

- Six year use of Reading Rocket: more than 80% of learners achieved their learning age.

Key succes factors are:
