Handwriting Speeds Handwriting Speeds for Copying Tasks Studies compiled by Amundson (1995) show that copying rates using handwriting at the 1 st grade level are about 5 words per minute (WPM) on average, but by the end of elementary school at the 5 th and 6 th grade level are about 10 to 12 WPM.e found that the average compositional rate of 4 th grade students with learning disabilities using handwriting was 4 to 5 words per minute, while the average handwriting rate of 6 th grade students with learning disabilities during composing was about 9 words per minute (Figure 4).
In contrast, intermediate typists are expected to type at least 25 to 30 wpm. As you progress, your speed naturally increases. The average wpm at which many people type is 31 to 41 while professional typists have a 42 to 54 wpm speed. The two highest levels of typing, known as typemaster and megaracer, have wpm speeds that range from 55 to 79 and 80+, respectively.
